We’ve been coming to lazy dog for years. We bring our dog and friends all the time. This is one of those restaurants where you can visit and NEVER have a bad time. The food is delicious and priced a little on the higher end I feel, but everything is INCREDIBLE. So worth it!

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

My guest and I both loved the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was very tasty and the service was wonderful. It's important to know that if one reserves a table in the indoor dining room there are a set of steep stairs that would not be easy to climb for anyone with weak legs. But I can't wait to return for another dining experience at Godfrey's - very enjoyable!

Place is fun for sporting events. For popular games, plan ahead and reserve a seat or table space online in advance. Large screen changes the vibe, really impressive. At first, service took a long time to get to us, so it took extra 20 minutes before we ever saw any wait staff to take our order. But once the server got to our table it was all good. Only ordered a couple of apps and a bottle of wine but everything came out fresh, hot and tasty. Will be back again.

We had a very enjoyable first visit. Main things were (a) their willingness to make adjustments to food that needed a bit more of something. They did so with graciousness and cordiality. (b) our server Matt. Though he had freedom in a quiet stretch to talk more than usual, he was cheerful and upbeat, gave information about the food where he could, and was a delight. We had a flat-iron steak with delicious crispy fries and a quinoa bowl with chicken. Both came in large (but not gargantuan, thankfully) sizes and were very good. Definitely recommend. We'll be back.

    Great vibe! We went for the Halloween bingo brunch. It was a really nice crowd! It was a great mix of adults and kids. We got to see some really adorable costumes and have a really nice afternoon. The food was great and so was the service!
