Service was amazing, drinks and food came out on a very respectable timeline. Our waiter was also very kind. I only got the Caesar salad but honestly top 5 Caesar salads I've had. Had a little bit of a kick. Bbq chic flatbread pizza was good too.

Loved their brunch! Such great deals, I love the variety on their menu. Our server gave us great advice and our food came out fast and was very fresh. Inside had plenty of seating and was a lovely restaurant. They even did decorations for the cherry blossoms which I thought was so precious. Definitely recommend!

Been wanting to try circa since the patio always looks so inviting when the weather is nice. Finally went for brunch- unfortunately it was a little too cold to sit outside, but still had a good experience! The service was pretty quick. Got the salmon Benedict which had a really good sauce and was overall a really solid benedict. Just wish the base had more bread or maybe a different kind of bread to better soak up the sauce.

We made a last minute reservation for two on a Friday night through OpenTable and were immediately seated. We started with the Shotgun Shrimp which was flavorful and not too spicy. Our service was a little on the slower side but nothing horrendous. I ordered the French onion grilled cheese which was one of the specials and it was super tasty. I got this with a side Caesar which also was great and not too fishy. My father got the turkey burger with sweet potato fries which he enjoyed. I stole a couple of fries and they were definitely some of the better sweet potato fries I've had. Overall Circa gets a 4/5 and it'll remain in my rotation of American style restaurants in Clarendon.

We had a work outing and reserved a space with drinks and appetizers. Nice restaurant to have a work get together. Food was excellent. We got the sliders, poke with chips, Ceasar salad, pizza. etc. The drinks were good too. Work paid so I can't comment on the price but overall a very nice restaurant with good eats.

GF pals... this is a great place for you! The food was wonderful with regard to gluten free options. I loved the ambiance, too - and check out how cute and aesthetically pleasing our drinks were! The primary reason I have 4 stars and not 5 is the slowness of our service. It was also noticeably slow because my friend and I were there gabbing for some quite some time and we still noticed how slow it was. Maybe an off day..?

Classic staple in the arlington area. Food was delicious. The atmosphere is pretty good. The service was okay. They seemed pretty busy, but we ended up waiting about 30 min for our table. All in all a good meal. The food never disappoints.

Great menu selection and attentive service. Generous portions of everything from apps to mains. Liked that the serving dishes were very consciously chosen to enhance the appearance of the individual dishes. Favorites at our table included the rainbow trout seasonal special, the Thai shrimp salad, the barbecue chicken flatbread and the stunningly good calamari (love the olives and cherry peppers!). Maple Old-Fashioned cocktail was yummy too -- not too overly maple. Acoustics are a little rough -- they need more sound absorption in the restaurant-- hard to hear your server and table mates.

The bartender was fantastic! He went above and beyond to seat us by the window when we requested when the hostess just said no to our request stating it was reserved for a party for 6:30pm. We were there at 4pm. The tuna tacos was delicious. The drinks were excellent!
