Awesome experience. The waitress was very helpful and explained items on the menu. I had the Miso Cod and vegetable and risotto. The food came out piping hot. I also enjoyed the Fried Green tomatoes. My husband had the Crab and it was good as well. We tip off the meal with Butter Pecan Cheese Cake.

Noise level rating is reflective of a clown in the bar area who kept screaming during a football game, but management should have told him he was disturbing other diners. We were greeted very warmly and seated immediately. Server was over in moments offering water and telling specials. Offer to take drinks order was immediate as well. Drinks were served quickly with the bartender even asking for more details for a more complicated drink order. We wanted to relax before ordering, and the server was accommodating and checked in occasionally to see if we were ready. Salads were fresh and well composed. Chef's cut for the evening (Rib-eye) was cooked as ordered and quite tasty. My companion's salmon was a big hit, and the chicken was tender. Asparagus was cooked properly. Most everything was perfect. The only true complaint was the price of the wine list. Whoever is pricing the wine is completely out of touch - the markup on certain bottles may have been over 400% - completely crazy. Shame on them on this point. Otherwise, it was a great evening! We would go again, but we would skip the wine. The complaints below about service are completely unfounded based on our experience.

All Hallows’ Eve was blessedly relaxed, and suitably informal with hosts in costume, and service finely attuned to the guests. It was a surprisingly small crowd for a Saturday night, but the kitchen was in full swing, and dishes arriving promptly. It is hard to resist past favorites; so, we both opted for the brisket, one a sandwich with sides, the other a platter. We were not disappointed. After dinner, we adjourned to the bar, which was easily up to the same standard. The DuBoissan Ale, 12% is a favorite.

Circa never disappoints. Whenever we’re in DC, we always like to gather there for great food and libations.

It was a very welcoming and inviting restaurant/ dining experience. The food was well done, flavorful, and enough to satisfy. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the food choices. I will definitely dine there again!
