    When booking the reservation, everything was very smooth. The receptionist were all nice. I had to adjust our reservation due to traffic and it was no problem. The dining experience was excellent. The servers were nice and responsive. The food was delicious.

    Great brunch. This was our second visit, and it was as good as the first. Also had the same waitress and she was very attentive. One of my favorite restaurants in Clarendon.

    One of the best restaurants in Arlington. Blackened mahi and the Ahi salad were both great. The only small complaint was we were in a small alcove that was pretty crowded and a little noisy. I was surprised Bistro Mele has no reservations for lunch but Circa was wide open. Probably the parking issue because both are comparable with quality and prices

    Circa is a great, low key place to meet friends and share appetizers or have your own meal. There is a nice specialty cocktail list and wine selection. I always enjoy dining outside.

    the food was very good and the food prices were reasonable. The drink prices were outrageous. A Manhattan for $20. 9 oz glasses of wine were all above $20. too expensive. Circa is a very nice restaurant - but its become too expensive because of the drink prices.

    I arranged a girls late brunch at the Clarendon Circa after the Marine Corps Marathon today. It was perfect. 2 year old Celeste got a high chair and we easily added an extra chair for a late guest. Service was attentive and engaging. Food was quick with nice portions. The view at this Circa allows for great people/pet watching in a pedestrian/dog friendly town.

    My husband and I went there for an early afternoon Sunday brunch. Each time we go there, we consistently have such good service and delicious food and drinks. It has become our go-to for brunch!
