Second Tue update: Majestic gift card sale tomorrow, Circa’s Sun/Mon; Circa starts Sunday brunch

The Majestic Grille’s gift card sale starts tomorrow at 9 AM.  You can buy $50 gift cards for $25, good for food purchases.  This is a great deal!  Don’t miss it!

Circa is getting in on the gift card action too – they’ll be selling gift cards at $100 face value for only $50 on Sunday and Monday, December 7 and 8.

In both cases, the cards can’t be redeemed until after the first of 2009, and can’t be used to buy alcohol.  Still, these are both great deals at the two restaurants I recommend most Downtown.

More big news from Circa:  They’re starting a Sunday brunch.  Here’s a quick summary of the menu:

Booze: Mimosas (bottle of champagne + OJ) $14; cocktails (bloody mary, ice pick, kir royale) $6; French press coffee (serves 2) $6

Starters: Basket of fresh baked breads $6; New Orleans beignets $6; smoked salmon plate $14; seafood and sausage gumbo $8

Entrees, served with choice of side: Poached salmon $13; petite filet of beef $15; maple glazed pork tenderloin $14; English breakfast (toast, bacon, fried egg, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms) $12

Signature egg dishes: Eggs Victor $16; Eggs Benedict $13; Beef Tenderloin Benedict $18; Circa omelets (you choose up to 4 ingredients) $14

Crepes: Nutella and vanilla ice cream $9; ham and gruyere cheese $11; chevre and raspberry $11

Desserts: Grand Marnier Creme Brulee $7; Chocolate pot de creme $7; assorted sorbets $7

Guys, if you get lucky and bring a girl home from one of the bars Saturday night, taking her to brunch at Circa the next morning would be a great way to show her that you really like her and want to keep her around.  On the other hand, if a one-night stand was all you wanted, give her a coupon for a free Egg McMuffin and send her on her way.

Circa is also doing a “reverse happy hour” after 10 PM Friday and Saturdays now.
