Circles Waterfront Restaurant

At Circles Waterfront Restaurant in Apollo Beach, we strive to provide all of our guests with an exceptional dining experience. Our experienced staff, relaxed marina setting, creative menu, and the freshest ingredients all combine to make our vision a reality. We pride ourselves on our exacting standards and uncompromising commitment to quality. Although we are aware that we don’t always get everything 100% right, that’s the goal we strive to meet everyday. Only the Freshest Ingredients… Fresh ingredients are the basis upon which all of our dishes are made: Local seafood is delivered straight to our restaurant directly from the docks. Imported seafood is flown in overnight fresh – NEVER frozen. Our soups are made from scratch, some with over 50 ingredients. All salads are prepared to order and dressed with house-made dressings. Our sauces are scratch made-to-order – NEVER premade or bought. The owner’s 72-year old mother makes all the deserts from scratch.   Our belief that the best meals are created from the freshest ingredients is reflected in our kitchen. The one small freezer we own constitutes only 5% of our overall refrigerated food storage. For example, even our calamari is flown in fresh – not frozen, and we receive it whole – not cut. We hand-cut each piece, dip it into our original house-made batter which is prepared daily from scratch, and then hand-fry it in single made-to-order batches. In addition, we have a 72-hour turn over on our entire food inventory, which means that nothing, from seafood to salad ingredients, is ever in our pantry for more than three days. This type of turn over is unheard of in our segment of the restaurant industry. The choices we make on food selection, storage, and preparation are unparalleled in our area and we believe they are paramount in creating truly great food.
