Michelle WrightDecember 13, 2015Brussels sprouts (swapped feta for bleu) were ridiculously yummy. Blackened salmon was fantastic as was the chocolate decadence. They even played fun music and could sit outside with heaters!
Kate WagnerApril 8, 2014This place is the greatest. Every time I'm in DC I HAVE to come here. (I may visit just for Circa). Chesapeake benedict, crab dip, cornflake french toast and every cocktail is SCRUMPTIOUS.
Lizzie MooreOctober 25, 2013Happy Hour Monday thru Friday $4 draft beer $6 red/white wine $6 flatbread, hummus, wings and calamari! Wine night on Monday. Saturday and Sunday brunch $3 mimosas $5 Bellini
Lisa LeeDecember 31, 2012I dream of the lobster ravioli here daily. Can't decide which is better: the meaty ravioli or the creamy pesto sauce! If you like a mix of sweet and savory, order this!
Irma ReyesApril 22, 2013Mimosas are inexpensive and the French toast does not disappoint. They're crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Best French toast I've ever had.
The sangria is good. I always get the pitcher and it is good every single time. Get at you table, at the bar r just carry it in your hand (on the premises of course).- The French Toast for brunch is delicious, as is the Avocado Toast!!
Alice FerrisJuly 17, 2015Try the Steak Salad - Really more steak with salad. Very nice for a muggy summer day. (via @Foodspotting)
Monday night is wine night: half priced bottles of wine (which are already aggressively priced) and all by the glass wines are on happy hour!
Dana WilliamsOctober 18, 2013Just had the most amazing lettuce wraps and filet sliders! Most tender steak I've ever had!! Must eat here!!
NightSceneNovember 18, 2010Enjoy a drink and chat in the atmosphere of Dupont circle, without the craziness of the crowds of the Dupont clubs. A great place to catch up with a friend or date
Caro LJune 22, 2014Good drinks, great bartenders. Tasty turkey burger with sweet potato fries - recommended!
Lisa EJune 7, 2012Mondays are Wine Night: bottles are half price and glasses are $5. Treat yourself to a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay and a table outside, both of which are better shared.
Butter but squash soup and harvest salad! It's like an internal blanket. So comf! Top it off with a glass of pinot and share the chocolate cake.
Mikael WagnerJanuary 26, 2014Gorgeous but small restaurant packed with lively conversations and energy. We were excited to dine here until our bad encounter with a certain dull & rude bartender. After one drink we departed.
pippa vernon-fulbrookDecember 31, 2014Mac and cheese rocked, Pinot was special and the fries are lovely!
hoLLy LynnFebruary 23, 2014Still love'n their pineapple Mojitos & and their BBQ flatbread is deeeeelish ;)
Skye MonettiMarch 28, 2014Scallops and Cesar salad very good and a very strong blackberry margherita- The bartenders are very focused. Don't take it person if it seems like they ignore you. They have a lot of customers and are very attentive, even if it seems like they aren't.
Bryan is the best bartender- but Spencer is a close second. And he is delicious.
Erin CushingOctober 17, 2012There are a bunch of locations throughout the D.C. area- this one is best for a fun Sunday brunch!
- While at the bar ask the person next you about there drink. It's a bar, be social.
Sit outside on the patio and enjoy a bottle of wine and the cheese plate. Then just kick back and watch the world go by...
Jenny YousfiJune 3, 2011The Basil & Cucumber Fresca is the perfect summer cocktail. So cool and refreshing and tasty!
Benjamin BoydMay 11, 2011Prepare to wait, they don't take reservations and the place isn't that big. Food was good though and worth the wait.
Valorie ClarkOctober 24, 2012Sit on the patio and enjoy the late night menu. Simple and all you need.
Erica TJuly 25, 2010Good spot. Inexpensive, but the popularity can keep the wait time up. Try the Crab and Avocado salad!
shana steeleApril 4, 2011Don't order the Braised Short Rib sandwich.... Mostly bread, warm coleslaw, w/ minimal shortrib and BBQ. Quite the disappointment. The "Shotgun Shrimp" were tasty however.
- Anthony D PaulJune 11, 2010One of my favorite places in DC, get the PLT (portobello sandwich) and sit outside.
Bitches Who BrunchDecember 29, 2011Bitches say C+! Circa’s food is just that—average—but the patio, location and service take it up a notch to slightly better than ordinary.
- My favorite bartender- hands down- Bryan. (Blonde with glasses)
