I love this place!
The food is phenomenal (try the lobster ravioli), the wine selection impressive and the service outstanding.
It's getting a bit cold now, but I can already imagine how packed the outdoor area will be when Spring rolls around.
Wonderful restaurant, thanks guys!!!!
After waiting with much anticipation for the opening of Circa, I am disappointed by the menu (unimaginative and lacking options for vegetarians), the ambience (corporate) and the service. The few times I've been there for brunch or a late lunch, servers have been inattentive and given incorrect information about the menu.
The place is saved by it's good-for-the-area (i.e. better than Starbucks) coffee and it's patio.
We came here for dinner. Instead of ordering their entrees we had a couple of their small plates and one order of sliders. The food was excellent. The only dishes I was disappointed with were the Lamb Skewers (only 6 pieces of meat for $10) and the sliders (french fries were fantastic, but the sliders themselves seemed a bit flavorless). Overall a fantastic place. I wouldn't hesitate to go here again.
I was very excited when this restaurant opened. I'll agree with other raters - this place caters to pretty much any group. On this particular night I was on a date, however I've been there on other occasions with a few friends, colleagues, and also, once, a kickball team. The setup of a long bar-height table running alongside the bar acts as a great transition from the bar to the restaurant area, and is great for accomodating large groups. It can, however, get a little crowded if you're trying to get around it. The pizzas, as mentioned previously, are fantastic. My date and I split a margarita pizza along with one appetizer, and had leftovers to take home. Luckily, these pizzas are definitely substantial enough to accomodate a healthy appetite, unlike gourmet pizzas from other establishments. The presentation was great, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. My only caveat was my pomarita drink, which was a bit on the weak side. Circa is definitely a must-try, regardless the event or occasion.
I recently moved to Dupont from across town, and it was partially for this restaurant. It has great food at very reasonable prices, and caters to any demographic at any hour of the day!
I get my coffee there on my way to work in the morning - happy hour after work with the girls - and a fabulous dinner with friends on the weekend.
If you haven't tried it yet - do. The pizzas are amazing, as is the wine. Their brunch still has a little ways to go, but overall - it has become my new favorite restaurant in the city!
This restaurant is wonderful. I have been here twice in one week because I am in love with the ambience-it is new-age-relaxed.
I would recommend it when are you looking for a fun, happening place to grab a bite at and to not spend a fortune!
Enjoy!
