Great location, great atmosphere, great food. We came during restaurant week and tried the $45 and $55 menu, and both were amazing. Especially the braised short-rib and Thai shrimp salad.
It is expensive, but you are paying for quality.

Shrimp salad was super delicious! Inside was super loud but once moved outside it was much easier to enjoy everything. Mac and cheese was also great! Drink was just okay.
Great service, good location, good vibe( outside) and decent-tasty food!! Will be back to try other dishes! Serving team were very polite and hard working and this 5- star good to the host who tried to do everything ( take the dishes, clean table, assign table..) to make sure you won’t wait long for a table! Thank you 🙏🏻
Visited here with family! Great outdoor seating in the heart of the city. All waitstaff were very kind and accommodating! Efficient service. I would say that while the food was good, most of it was under-seasoned. A little salt would go a long way for several dishes. Nothing super inventive, but was kind of expecting a chain restaurant dining experience. Overall good, not great.
This is a nice spot in the burbs for brunch. It's near a metro stop, so it's convenient. The food was solid but not spectacular. It's a fairly casual place with a decent outside patio, as well. It won't curl your toes, but it won't disappoint, either.
First time here and just walking up to the restaurant I knew it was going to be good! Very cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Even on a Saturday night during prime dinner hours, the service was so quick we were blown away. My dinner companion remarked “these might be the best Brussels I ever had” on the first bite of our app, so 10/10 recommend those and the shotgun shrimp to start. I ordered the steak frites, which I was a tad disappointed in the steak. I also ate half of the grilled chicken sandwich which was delicious. Overall a great dining experience and will certainly return
We had a great meal at CIRCA today! We had been to the Foggy Bottom location a few years ago, and saw this location on our way to the metro. We stopped in for a late lunch and the service was prompt and friendly. The spinach salad was wonderful and the waitress double-checked if I wanted a protein on it, which was great since I had forgotten to ask for chicken. My husband’s chicken sandwich was also delicious. We were both pleased with how perfectly the chicken was cooked. We will be back!
On my last night visiting DC, a friend who lives in town invited me to this place in Clarendon. Our server Jackie was very outgoing and helpful. I ordered the steak frites and it was great. Loved the fries! My friend ordered the 4 cheese flat bread and he said it was awesome. The place has a cool vibe. Great food and service! Definitely recommend.
