This place never disappoints. Went on a Wednesday night and got seated right away. The service was exceptional. Our water glasses were never empty, the drinks came out quick, the food came out hot, the plates were well portioned, and the prices were right. With the sunset and water views right there, this place is amazing.

I had a blast. The decor was nice. The service is top notch. The food is excellent. All in all glad i went. If you are a foodie... please visit. The crab chowder is out of this world. The grouper and the scallops mix is amazing. Flavorful. Very fresh. The ambience and the people makes it fun even if you are visiting alone. I love this place. Shout out to Michelle for incredible cat service in a very busy night.

We have dined here before and it is very good. This trip we went for the waterfront view and a cocktail. Neither disappointed. The Rum Runner was the best we have ever had! Well worth the price so don't let that stop you from a good tropical drink. Make sure you pay attention to the outside signs, very clever and funny! One of the nicer restaurants in Apollo Beach.

First experience at Circles, and we loved it. Our server was great. I tried a Circles Perfect Margarita. Not my style; I like fruity and slightly sweet. Calamari and sauce (no pic), and Crab and Corn Chowder were SO GOOD. We also had Circles Salad, Jumbo Shrimp (fried) & fries, Crack is Whack Shrimp (fyi The sauce is sweet), and Death by Chocolate. You can enjoy Circles indoors or outdoors. Good views of water & boats. Highly recommend! One suggestion for Circles: Have a line/area strictly designated for guests who have received the "Your table is ready" text. Those needing initial check-in were co-mingled during my experience. It was a bit messy.

IMPRESSIVE! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Wonderful decor, over the top staff & AMAZING food. The menu was amazing. We loved our meals (didn’t take pics as we enjoyed a night without documenting everything). Loved the Grouper & Scallops. My wife enjoyed the Penne Pasta w/ shrimp. Oh and Crab Cakes = DELICIOUS 🤤 The staff was amazing. John Weaver went above & beyond. Great recommendations based upon our likes. He was on top of our addl drink needs. Tip of the cap to John as we rarely if ever receive this type of service. Give this spot a try and leave a review to help others. Sorry only took these 2 images! Amazing sunset 🌅

We decided to head towards the water before sunset and this restaurant is on a small marina. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a few tables near the water. We didn't wait long and we were seated outside. We decided to order the grouper bites and French onion soup as appetizers. The grouper was fresh and not over powered by the breading. We really enjoyed this dish. We took a few bites of the French onion soup and decided not to eat it. The broth was bland, the onions too mushy and the cheese they used wasn't high quality. I hope they revamp this recipe. We ordered blackend salmon, with asparagus and rice, steak medallions and shrimp with carrots and green beans and chicken alfredo penne. The challenges. The rice was undercooked and so was the salmon. I only ate about a 1/3 of the salmon which was undercooked and unfortunately, it is so dimly lit outside, I didn't realize this until I got home, felt nauseous and looked at my leftovers. My asparagus was much better than the brocolli and carrots, I wouldn't order those and the penne alfredo was bland and way too aldente. On a possitive note, the shrimp was very good, sweet and perfectly cooked. If I go here again it will only be for an appetizer ( grouper bites) and a drink by the water. It's such a nice location I really wish the food was more enjoyable.

Cory, our server was great. It was a little too hot to eat outside, but it was our choice. The food was very good and the ice cream at the end of the meal was greatly needed. Hope to visit again.

Circles was a wonderful experience. You're Close by the water so you get a nice cool breeze. It's mostly outside restaurant I would say very small seating inside however doesn't affect the experience. The food was fantastic definitely a must if your in the area or looking for a great date night or family event.

Nice restaurant located right on the water in Apollo Beach! They have tons of seating, both inside and out, and the menu has a good variety of options. The seafood was reasonably priced and tasted fresh! Definitely recommend their blackened grouper! Check them out if you’re in the area.

Great seafood restaurant to go to for a night out. Excellent atmosphere. Nice selection of seafood and cocktails. Great service.

Had dinner there tonight. Just a burger with a French onion soup. The food was outstanding. The atmosphere beautiful with tables right on the water. Our server was a delight, i believe he name was Elizabeth. But the whole staff was doing a great job on a busy Saturday night

I've been here a few times, so I'll give you both sides of the coin: The Good - the view, the ambience, and drinks. This place has a nice piece of land on the marina, which is great for sunset views. They bring in live music and service is consistently strong. The Not So Good - the food here is honestly slightly above average. I've yet to have anything here that is memorable or where I walked away thinking wow that was amazing, but to be fair nothing horrible either. Crab cakes are overfried, mushy and lack flavor. Burgers and salads are okay, however the grilled chicken on my salad was undercooked. Grouper is good and probably the best thing I've had on the menu. Our family asked to be seated in the bar area to watch the Bucs game, when we asked to change the channel for the TV at our table we were told no, because the owner was watching a different game on that TV. That was surprising to hear that he wouldn't change a channel closer to him to make sure his guests were happy, but hey, when you're the owner you can do whatever I guess. We made it work. The place is popular since it's one of the "nicer" restaurants in Apollo Beach. If you're visiting family or friends in this area it's a good spot to grab a drink, a grouper sandwich, and enjoy the view. I wouldn't recommend making a special drive out here from Tampa or St. Pete though.

Let me start by saying we’ve been coming here for years and it’s amazing…. Tonight Larry was great!!! We always order their calamari and although they’ve gotten rid of their coconut shrimp (wish they would bring it back) their Cajun scallops were amazing! We always finish with a Caesar salad and never make it to entree or desert!!! I love it here!!!

Been a patron here for five years now but just now getting to review them. Been here to relax by water, at bar, and for waterfront dining to celebrate special occasions. Never disappointed! Tonight it was a leisurely dinner at the bar before the big Christmas weekend. Plenty of bar seating with a friendly bar keep. Martini was fabulous to start things off. Appetizers consisted of delicious peel and eat shrimp and fried calamari. I should note diet restrictions can be accommodated here which always makes my day. Entrees we’re a salad topped with perfectly cooked salmon, and balsamic dressing. Again with an allergy ingredients we’re omitted to accommodate. The other entree was the scallops appetizer with chopped bacon. Amazing! For a leisurely night out or special occasion Circle’s is a gym of the neighborhood.

This was my first time at the restaurant, and I think I will be back. I heard from friends they used to give bread as a starter but they took it away. Our waitress was nice and kept up well with our drinks. Some of the plates/glasses were chipped, but it wasn’t terrible. We got the spinach dip for a starter. I wasn’t a fan of it. Don’t know what it was, it just didn’t taste right. The shrimp Alfredo was good. They only gave a couple pieces of shrimp but it was still good. It was nice you could add a side salad for only 4 dollars.

Always a convenient place to stop by for dinner/sunset! this place is huge and usually at the busiest times, never has a wait. there are tons of tables inside and out and a lot of them have great views of the sunset while you eat dinner. the drinks here are pretty good but the food is just OK. I've been here multiple times and have never had a bad experience! my personal favorite drink to get is the Mai Tai!

Beautiful place, Crab cakes are the BEST, extremely delicious food. Grilled Salmon in a lemon sauce w/ asparagus are ridiculous tasty and amazing delicious. Friendly service. Great experience!!

What a find; tucked away in Apollo Beach. You can't go wrong with a meal or just drinks with friends. Service and the food are exceptional. Indoor and outdooor seating available and can accommodate most party sizes. Great views of the water makes for a perfect ambiance.

The food was amazing would give it 5 stars but my crab legs didn't want to come out the shell but they had the best flavor of any I have ever had. Blake was our server he was awesome he was down to earth and had great serving skills.. defiantly worth going to.

Went to this place for the first time during lunch. We we greeted & seated quickly. Steamed peel & eat shrimp for our appetizer- not much seasoning on them, we asked for a side of old bay seasoning & was given a house blend seasoning. The salmon had good flavor, but was not cooked all the way through. The broccoli was the best thing I had, cooked & seasoned to perfection!

Thoroughly enjoyed our first time at Circles. Beautiful scenery, great atmosphere, great service, and pretty decent food. For the appetizer, we got the Crack is Whack Shrimp which was pretty good. I’m not a huge shrimp fan but I still enjoyed it. For entrees, I ordered the Steak Sandwich and my wife ordered the fried grouper sandwich. Green beans were delish!!

Haven't been for a long time due to bad experience with food twice but my daughter took me out for lunch and the food was delicious from the appetizers to the main dish. Was very happy I decided to give another try!

We took family that was visiting to Circles Waterfront restaurant on 29Jan22. They loved the location. Three of us got the fried shrimp and it was delicious. The broccoli and baked potato was good especially with the sour cream, cheese and butter. The crab and corn chowder and fried calamari was steaming hot and delicious. The Parmesan potatoes are not good at all and should be removed from the menu, they do not stand up to the seafood. The asparagus was limp, it was cooked too long. Our waitress was great and patient with us.

Was amazing a perfect place to show my dad!! He wants to bring his boat out now to park on the water next time! We both loved the food and he could tell that the flavors were all compatible and so fresh

Excellent seafood restaurant. All the food was very good, but the crab and corn chowder was amazing and the wild Alaskan salmon was the best salmon I have had for years. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. Try it out, you won't be disappointed. 👏👍

Jesse was amazing his great personality brought our dinning experience even better. Thank you Jesse I hope when we return you are there so we can request you again. Food is amazing melts in your mouth. There were 6 of us so we had something different from one another. Desert was very good as well we had few alcohol drinks that were very well made you could tell it was fresh. My kids had verging daiquiri 4 each they were so good. Again I can't thank you enough. We just moved here from Michigan and this place made our move worth it by far. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Delightful ambiance. Huge place. Outdoor Tiki style seating, fine dining setting, sports bar & marina. Attentive friendly service. Thx Camry! Tasty dishes. Reasonable. Had the spinach salad with chicken. Wife had a Cesar salad with chicken. Enjoyed a local Octoberfest lager. Not crowded on a Sunday evening.

Nice location…my steak and the scallops were good. Unfortunately the grouper bites seemed undercooked or of low quality…they were extremely mushy, with an oyster-like consistency. Our server did remove them from our bill, so we appreciated that. I’d still recommend this place for it’s location and other menu items.

Great restaurant with great vibes. I try to hit up this spot whenever in town as the food and views are great. Finally decided to write a review due to the service. Our waiter, John hit it out of the park last night. He was attentive and entertaining! Def will ask for him on my next visit. Pics from a few of my visits....sorry no food pics, I can't control myself once it hits the table lol

Stayed in town for business. It was excellent! Service was great, I sat outside and enjoyed an early supper overlooking a marina on the water. It was awesome. Food was fantastic! Cold beer to drink, Grouper Bites for an appetizer and Steak and Shrimp for the entrée. I will be back here next time I am in town!

Fun Place to visit by boat! We took our 22' Sea Foix from Freedom Boat Club across Tampa Bay and over to Circles for a sandwich. There was plenty of docking space, and the staff was very helpful. We ordered a cheeseburger from the hostess stand as the outside bars were closed on this Thursday. The property was decorated for Christmas, complete with a huge animatronic bear on the stage. The burger was okay, but we ate it on the boat as we headed for Beer Can Island. We will have to give Circles another chance on a weekend.

Had an amazing experience. Food was great! Drinks were great. Really enjoyed having dinner on the waterfront.

The service is so friendly and we really enjoyed our steak and fish on New Year Eve ! The Steak is very tender and perfect , the fish is fresh and huge . I really love this restaurant and will come back soon.

Lovely, fresh food. Super friendly staff. We loved it. Can't wait to go back.

First time here. We’ve came before on a weekend and had to leave because of how busy it was. We came here last night and this place is amazing. The view is great and the food is phenomenal! Most importantly, the staff is the best part of the restaurant. Great experience!

Not only is the atmosphere very relaxing, but the food is fresh and very delicious! The grouper is always prepared perfectly. I tried their seasonal grouper and sea scallops with lemon butter and asparagus, highly recommended!

Great big restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Looks like they have occasional live entertainments as there is a ready stage outside in the open air. The food was great and there was about four option combo meals for the kids. Our server was awesome. I think it’s the best place to eat at Apollo beach.

This place was amazing! I came here for my birthday with several other people and everyone enjoyed what they ordered, it was fresh and tasty. My only gripe is that we were told our entire party (we were missing 1 person out of 6) had to be present to even get on the waiting list, which was an hour long wait.
