Michelle WrightDecember 13, 2015Brussels sprouts (swapped feta for bleu) were ridiculously yummy. Blackened salmon was fantastic as was the chocolate decadence. They even played fun music and could sit outside with heaters!Upvote2Downvote
Kate WagnerApril 8, 2014This place is the greatest. Every time I'm in DC I HAVE to come here. (I may visit just for Circa). Chesapeake benedict, crab dip, cornflake french toast and every cocktail is SCRUMPTIOUS.Upvote1Downvote
The sangria is good. I always get the pitcher and it is good every single time. Get at you table, at the bar r just carry it in your hand (on the premises of course).UpvoteDownvote
Lisa LeeDecember 31, 2012I dream of the lobster ravioli here daily. Can't decide which is better: the meaty ravioli or the creamy pesto sauce! If you like a mix of sweet and savory, order this!UpvoteDownvote
The Asian tuna nachos are a light lunch on a hot day.

Lizzie MooreOctober 25, 2013Happy Hour Monday thru Friday $4 draft beer $6 red/white wine $6 flatbread, hummus, wings and calamari! Wine night on Monday. Saturday and Sunday brunch $3 mimosas $5 BelliniUpvoteDownvote
Irma ReyesApril 22, 2013Mimosas are inexpensive and the French toast does not disappoint. They're crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Best French toast I've ever had.UpvoteDownvote
Lisa EJune 7, 2012Mondays are Wine Night: bottles are half price and glasses are $5. Treat yourself to a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay and a table outside, both of which are better shared.UpvoteDownvote- The wild mushroom flatbread is absolutely delicious!Upvote1Downvote

Erin CushingOctober 17, 2012There are a bunch of locations throughout the D.C. area- this one is best for a fun Sunday brunch!UpvoteDownvote- While at the bar ask the person next you about there drink. It's a bar, be social.UpvoteDownvote
Mikael WagnerJanuary 26, 2014Gorgeous but small restaurant packed with lively conversations and energy. We were excited to dine here until our bad encounter with a certain dull & rude bartender. After one drink we departed.UpvoteDownvote
