It's particularly "fun on the patio" of these New American bistros offering burgers, pastas and salads washed down with "fancy cocktails" and a "great beer selection"; "friendly" service and "affordable" tabs are reasons why they're often "mobbed" with "cool crowds", and thus ideal for "people-watching."

I chose Circa for my birthday dinner based on previous excellent lunches there. Service, food and drinks were all wonderful. The birthday candle in my dessert was a nice touch without being over the top - I appreciate that!

I've been here several times. The food was great as always and the wait service was excellent. My only complaint is the table in the middle of the room. I asked the hostess for a side table and she said they were all reserved. One stayed open the whole time so she was lying.

Loved CIRCA! The brunch menu was super diverse and there's something for everyone. All the menu items were very reasonably priced - $6 mimosas is pretty good compared to a lot of the other places in Arlington. Great environment and vibe. Definitely will return.

There was a time when I was able to get to CIRCA at Clarendon every Sunday for brunch. I miss it. I love brunch and CIRCA does it very, very well. For me going out to eat is a total experience - not just good food. And CIRCA does it all for me - and has since it opened. The food is very good, the service is always great and the dining room is always clean. (I am one of the dinosaurs who...

Circa is a go-to spot for us. We come all the time, mostly for brunch, and enjoy it. The service is a bit harried, as in you have to ask multiple times for more ketchup or syrup (they give you about a dram of each) and half and half if you don't get it up front. That gets irritating when you're sitting there waiting to eat until one person in the party gets their syrup. Anyway...that syrup does...

Have eaten multiple times at Circa Foggy Bottom and thoroughly enjoyed each visit, I opted to try the Clarendon location to accommodate an Arlington guest.

We wanted a restaurant with fun cocktails and a varied menu. We weren’t disappointed. Great cocktails, delicious food, nice ambiance—though for dinner, I could have done without the TV’s. My meal was so good, I’m hoping to try to recreate it at home.

I wish they would’ve had something on their site stating whether or not they’d have their brunch menu for New Year’s Day. They said they only do brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, and big holidays. I thought New Year’s Day was a big holiday. But, oh well. We stayed anyway and I had the pumpkin ravioli. Very tasty. I’d definitely go back again to try their brunch, or for a date night.
