Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Middletown

I loved the Circular Restaurant. Everything was wonderful and very delicious. Service was exceptional!!

everyone is very accommodating, professional, and courteous. The risotto & halibut was amazing. The risotto was cooked perfectly. The chop burger was great too.

Fabulous food, and service was impeccable . Gorgeous views of the city!

Overall stellar experience. We came here for my mother's retirement party, and I want to give a special shoutout to Emily for taking our details and customizing our menus with her name, but also our knowledgeable server/bartender Kyle for answering our questions and being very attentive, etc. Our party of four had the sea bass, antelope and acorn squash soup for appetizers, and the duck, cod, scallops and waygu. For dessert, the mont blanc (mouse/chocolate/apple (?) crust) dessert, and a dessert that was a cookie, a lining of marshmallow and something else. Cannot remember the name. But standing out was the lineup of drinks, and I say this as someone who generally is a purist (no mixed drinks) with alcohol. I did have some scotch, but also had a Cary Grant (the one with Bulleit Rye), Frank Sinatras and the sweeter Marilyn Monroe. All extremely well done. Kris Kringles (vodka, rum and some pistachio liqueur combo?) were also good. My brother and I are from out of town, but if we can find a way back here and another reason to celebrate another milestone, we will absolutely find our way back here. Only recommendation I have is maybe to carry one of the local spirits, but really no bother otherwise. Shoutout again to Emily and Kyle for making our experience one to remember.

Dylan was our server and he was attentive and polite. Our food was very good and not outrageously priced. Oysters were fresh, nice portion of halibut, and a calamari dish that was a little spicy and distinctive. Recommend.
