The service is always quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The atmosphere is casual making this an easy go-to whether you’re grabbing dinner with friends or just want a solid meal without overthinking it.
On my most recent visit, we started with the Herb Baked Parker House Rolls, which came warm straight out of the oven with whipped garlic butter. Our server recommended them as her favorite, and she was absolutely right. They were soft, buttery, and a perfect way to kick things off.
For my entrée, I ordered the Tequila Filet Tips Linguine which had grilled filet tips, linguine, green and red peppers, red onion, cilantro, and a tequila lime cream sauce. The filet tips were cooked just right and stayed tender, not dry at all. The sauce was spot-on too: enough to coat everything nicely without being soupy or overpowering. Balanced, flavorful, and really well done.
All around, Circa continues to deliver consistent food, great service, and a relaxed vibe. I’ll definitely be back and would order this dish again.

Getting there was easy, parking was easy, and Everything was great! Kevin was our waiter very polite and patient. I also noticed they had several staff keep our table clean, really nice atmosphere too.

Overall, just fine. The food was tasty, but the portions were teeny – I left barely satiated and got hungry maybe an hour later. Maybe that’s a way to get you to buy a dessert but I am not from a dessert family lol. Server was awesome, I liked that she could tell us what she liked on the menu, hopefully that means there are staff meals. Atmosphere of the space wasn’t the best, the lighting was a little cold and lacking any elegance or coziness.

Highly recommend for breakfast the chicken and waffles + the shrimp and grits! For dinner, the jambalaya pasta was outstanding. The food is definitely better and fresher than I anticipated at Circa. The Service is lasts great and efficient too!

Absolutely loved the tuna poke nachos. I did not want to share them!
Circa Burger (cheeseburger) was very good and the French fries were excellent (battered).

My first time here, visiting after work. The restaurant is very nice and centrally located. It has various types of seating and it was that the staff were used to a fast pace setting. I sat at the bar and was immediately met by the bartender. The drinks were made to order and were not made lightly … the food was very tasty and the service from prompt. The setting behind the bar was visually appealing and they had a great selection for all drink preferences. I will be back and will definitely bring friends to enjoy as well.

The fixed menu for Restaurant Week was very good. I had the shrimp bisque, salmon and bread pudding. The pasta was also good. The dessert was worth every bite!

Absolutely delicious. We loved everything from our appetizer and cocktails to our entrée. If you are not a big drinker, I highly recommend you still have a cocktail. I had a blackberry margarita that by far was one of the best margaritas having the perfect tartness balance. The atmosphere was perfect for socializing and the service spectacular.

If you’re looking for a business restaurant in the Navy Yard, Circa simply delivers on every front, Circa is your spot. The atmosphere is warm and inviting although need some updates. Perfect for everything from a casual dinner to a relaxed celebration.
The menu focuses on well-executed classics. Their crusted roast chicken is a standout juicy, flavorful, and served with sublime garlic mashed potatoes. Don’t overlook the simpler options, however. The Circa Burger, with its prime beef and special sauce, is genuinely delicious, and their salads are fresh, generously sized, and far from an afterthought. Price is reasonable for a business gathering place.

Food was pretty good. I’d eat here again however nothing I ate was out of this world.
Our server was awesome and funny I want to say her name was Sarah.
The salmon was good, I traded the original items for mashed potatoes and broccolini instead of what it came with.
My partner ordered the Mac n cheese (it’s not seasoned so the bacon helps) and the shotgun shrimp appetizer they said it was great.
And my mom had the jambalaya which I’ve also had before I highly recommend this dish! The sausage is great, if you don’t like any spice at all take the sausage out.
