Circa '21 Dinner Playhouse Reviews

I had a delightful time at the Speakeasy. Manny Lopez band was just fantastic, I enjoyed myself immensely. it's an easy place to get to. thank you

Amazing amateur comedy night last Friday of each month for only 3 bucks

The play, Mama Mia, bootleggers, and food was all excellent. We had a wonderful evening in this beautiful, historic theater.

Wonderful show, Mama Mia!! Wish the food was just a little more flavorful.

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers was excellent. The cast was highly talented. The lunch was very good as was the dessert. Overall an excellent experience. Highly recommended. The theater itself is a work of art. Be prepared to enjoy yourself.

Fantastic entertainment! Saw Holiday Inn in July and was blown away by the choreography, the costumes, the buffet, and especially THE SINGING!! One of the best evenings I've spent in years! Thank you, Circa 21!!

Food is subpar but the entertainment is fantastic. Not a bad seat in the house.

The buffet dinner was pretty good, and plentiful. The cast and production of Annie was outstanding.

Great food and great entertainment. Love this place.

So freaking great! Burlesque is amazing, drinks were fantastic, and the site was perfection. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Probably THE best entertainment in the Quad Cities.. Classy and very professional!

Great place! Always something new when you go here for dinner and a show.

Greatest show ever. Enjoyed every minute. Highly recommended.

Ok... so we went for dinner without any idea of how things work other than "be there at 5:45." I hope to help any other newbies.

Doors open at 5:45pm (for dinner show). Be there a few minutes early to pick up tickets, etc. and head in. You'll be shown to your table which (if you have a small party) you may share with someone else. We were along the side of the theater so quarters were a little tight.

They'll take your drink orders and ask if you want the soup or salad. Either was good - but there's only one choice for dressing. It was a sweeter poppy-seed dressing and was pretty good. Soup was creamy chicken "something" (says my son... It was 90 degrees outside so a cold salad was my choice.)

After your salad you can go to the buffet. Food choice is limited but good. Herb roasted potatoes were good! Pasta dish was good! Fried chicken was a bit soggy, but I rarely eat the skin so I was happy. They had ham too, but it was a bit salty.

After dinner, you can order specialty drinks and desserts to be served after the pre-show and at intermission. Suggestion would be to order drinks for after the pre-show and dessert for intermission.

The pre-show consisted of the wait staff and "bootleggers" singing and dancing previews of upcoming shows.

We had our dessert first - the turtle pie was great and "The Special" was even better! Probably would have been better to wait until intermission.

The show, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, was fabulous! Acting, singing, and dancing was top-notch. Very impressed.

The drinks came at intermission which was just long enough to cycle everyone through the one restroom per persuasion. That's my only complaint - not enough restrooms. Intermission is also when you settle up your tab for any "extras" you may have ordered. Contrary to what one reviewer stated, there are refills on soft drinks until the show starts, and coffee, iced tea, and water are complimentary. Also, be generous to the wait staff... They work very hard, are very friendly, and also put on a pretty good pre-show! (No, I don't work for Circa 21, nor am I related to anyone who does. )

Overall, a great evening of fun, good food, and a great show! Highly recommended for anyone who wants that "fancy-unusual-classy" night on the town!

Another fun night. Great meal. Can hardly wait for the pre show and play to start.

Circa 21 is a great place to go to enjoy an evening out with your family.

Great food tonight, the whole family was pleased. Super friendly staff, and a good performance.

Great friendly staff. Awesome old building that adds to the atmosphere. Tasty food and desserts. Great show. Easy to find. On the street close parking.

Very nice place and some of the food is great, the service is always good and the bootleggers are awesome. They really take time to make sure that you are comfortable and enjoy the show.

Always a fun time! It's a whole package of meal and show, and a fabulous experience. Buffet is full of choices if you're a picky eater as well as gluten free friendly. Drinks and dessert are not included in the ticket costs, so make sure to bring a bit extra for those. The wait staff are wonderful.

Also, they have a restroom on the main floor for those who cannot get down the staircases to the lower level restrooms.

I have all different stuff seasonal Christmas plays and two or three a week just called the book

Saw Mamma Mia. Fantastic show and wonderful bootleggers.

Great evening! Good food & great live entertainment!

I ve enjoyed the dinner and the theater here before, but it s incredibly disappointing that there isn t private seating on opening night. My husband and I really wanted to have a date night and see the new show but we definitely don t want to sit with a group of strangers.

Such a mixed bag of options to review, it's hard to give it a single rating. Don't go for the food. Sorry, but a bland buffet isn't cutting it. Nothing compelling. The staff is great and the fact that they are entertainers as well is fun. I can only speak for the show "Kinky boots" which was solid. "Lola and Charlie" were excellent.

Saw the Kiss the Sky Jimi Hendrix show tonight @ Circa 21. Beautiful venue, awesome show!!!

Always great service and food. The performances never disappoint.

Fun shows every weekend. Check the website for what is available.

Amazing!!!! I went here for my birthday and it was so good. Saw Sister Act here with my mom. It's definitely a must see. Plus we had great seats. My mom told be all about this place when I was younger, it was great to finally go. The grasshopper ice cream drink is a must! So creamy and good!!

There was raw chicken and we couldn t get any service

Their shoes are top notch. though The food leaves much to be desired. Their rolls are cold and to me day old. They don't cook the veggies enough and the potatoes tend to be soupy. The fried chicken is good and their soups are good also.

Always good food. Amazing bootleggers and the shows are always great. I recommend peanut butter pie for dessert!

This is a great place to enjoy a night out! The food is always phenomenal and the staff is very friendly. We have seen several shows here and every one has been very well cast with exceptional set design! Highly recommended!!

This show is enjoyable but the food is not appetizing!

Friendly staff, great service, and talented entertainment!

It is a very cool place . I've been there since I was little and the shows are interesting and playful for young and old people .

Buffet, drinks, and a show in a historic theater. A great way to spend an evening.

We have fun, good for a couple of hours out of the house

Always a delightful evening. Good food and great performances. Highly recommend "Mama Won't Fly "

The talent in their productions, actors & wait staff is phenomental! Food is a bonus. A jewel many people haven't discovered yet.

Went out to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The food and the entertainment was amazing!

Great food, you pick 2 entrees and they bring a full plate if food. They are only allowed 50 people so it was different with so few people there. The play, The Savanah Sipping Society was fun and funny.

What a wonderful venue for watching a show! Very classy, entertaining, and superb performances.

Went with friends for a lunch and play event. The lunch was great and also the play. Highly recommend this for great entertainment and food.

Show was the best...second time we have seen it. Love Tom Walljasper's performances in every show we've seen! He's my personal favorite!

Always an enjoyable evening at the Circa, Grumpy Old Men was great. If you haven't been there , you should, the food is outstanding, and got to love the Bootleggers.

Frist time there
Watched 7 Bridges
Enjoy the place great atmosphere and host

Have been several times and always enjoy it. Great entertainment. Highly recommend.

Nice facility. Friendly and talented staff. Food is average for a buffet.

What a great place great food great shows a must see and do

Show was wonderful! Server was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was perfect. Drinks and desserts were terrific. Buffet was just ok.

Quad City Icon! Music on the Marquee! How fun! Way to think outside the box (and the theatre)!

Kinky Boots is most fun. Circa is best entertainment in the QC!

Singing in the Rain was the most outstanding performance I've seen in years!! The cast was phenomenal! The venue, however, causes the 3th star rating as my friend and I were crammed into a table space far too small for 6 people. It felt like a money grab as payed the same rate as others with far more space.

I love this place. I am a gold subscriber so I see all the shows and experience all the meals. Mist shows and meals are top notch. And cheaper than a nice meal and a movie

Circa is a high quality good time. I have loved every experience I have had here.

Show war very good. It was very warm in the building. Other than being warm in the building, everything was good.

My wife and I watched Ghost, we had a great time. The staff was very friendly and the food was tasty. The musical was fantastic and I will return here again.

Actors and performers are always top notch. Dinner is a good value for the money with the ticket price, but nothing to write home about.

first experience going to the speakeasy, it was wonderful. Great show, good service, Alittle crowded... Will totally be returning and telling others about it...

The Newsies show was great! Good story line and lots of talented dancing. The roast beef was especially flavorful! Bootlegger show was good, as always. Fun times!

Service good,food good, performance great. Definitely worth the money.

I really like going here for dinner theater plays. The food is good the wait staff is very friendly and helpful. The plays are always good.

My students and I had awesome experience at Circa 21! We went to see Pinocchio and the students were on the edges of their seats! The Actors/Actresses were stupendous with or students! Especially when the children Actors did the shot with our students!

Great show but it was very very hot and uncomfortable

Shear madness was absolutely awesome , it's a sigh of relief amidst the times we live in to be truly entertained and engaged by the actors. Everything was thumbs up, definite recommend! Me and the wifey will return.

Great programming, comfortable seating, and good food.

Wonderful dinner and a fantastic show! We really enjoyed and plan on going back for another show.
