I don’t usually like to go out on valentine’s day but we ended up in that area fairly late and needed dinner. It was a great choice. The food was really good, and the service was great considering it was a busy night. All the servers we encountered were really friendly. The food recommendations were spot on. I look forward to going back.

We stopped at Circa for a quick bite before a Kennedy Center performance. We hadn’t been there in a while and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. On weekday happy hours in the bar area offer good discounts on house wine, cocktails, and draft beer. The mushroom flatbread ($2 off during happy hour) was delicious, and both house cocktails—though small—had a unique, interesting flavor and were very enjoyable.

First time here and we enjoyed both the atmosphere and food. We were in the city for the cherry blossoms and after a long day wanted a good lunch. We were seated right away and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the Caesar salad with fried shrimp and a cheese burger with fries: both meals were delicious. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Honestly, this place is cute and the server was phenomenal. The food however, was awful. Everything LOOKED good but tasted awful. My daughter got the chicken pasta and the chicken was still pink inside. I had the black bean burger and it had this weird almost freezer burnt taste I’ve never experienced. My husband’s pizza tasted like it was from a gas station. Just bland and rubbery. Dinner cost us for 3 – $156 without gratuity. It was absolutely not worth it.

Fantastic experience. Sofia was super friendly and attentive, and went the extra mile in accommodating for food allergies and making a special occasion even more special. Appetizers and entrees were hot and fresh from the uniquely spiced “Shotgun Shrimp” appetizer to the really tasty turkey burger. Go here if you’re in Foggy Bottom. All around awesome restaurant!

A friend of mine took us here for a late dinner last
month since they told us it was great. They weren’t wrong, our experience was great!
We came at around 8 PM on a Friday and they were a little busy but we got a table. Our server was super friendly. We started with the calamari as an appetizer which was tasty!
As my entree, I got the Margarita Flatbread. Overall it was good! The toppings were tasty and it was cooked perfectly.
Overall, if you’re in the Foggy Bottom area of DC, Circa is a good spot! I’ll be back.

I must admit that the atmosphere here is great as well as the service and the way the employees accommodate you as a customer, perfect hospitality. As far as the food goes, I was astonished with how well made this steak was prepared and seasoned. However, I did find it to be quite pricey considering the amount of food given and I wasn’t too fond of the Caesar Dressing. Consequently, I think that’s just a personal preference for me if you love Caesar dressing you’d love theirs, I wish I would have gotten ranch though.

My hubby and I came here on a date night, we don’t have any food pics because everything disappeared quickly on our plates. We got the pretzel appetizer, kale salad with blackened chicken and the burger. All were absolutely fabulous!! Our server was lovely as well as the staff, the tables around us were cleared quickly and it was so nice to be in a well run and maintained restaurant. Lastly – we had the pumpkin cheesecake special and bread pudding for dessert. Again – cleared the plates. Probably going to need to be rolled out of here – so full and happy. Will be back! ❤️

Loved the burgers! The jambalaya was good as well. Lovely environment and great service, but we were unaware of the automatic 4.95% service charge. It’s not much, but we found it just unusual.
