    The staff were great at their services. Amanda was our waitress! She was fantastic. She later switched spot with another light skinned guy who brought us a cake for my fiancee's birthday 🎂 and CIRCA had a card with the employees' signature on it! Wow! That made our day! That was my 2nd time there! I will visit over and over again!

    Love Circa. Thai Shrimp salad hits every time. They’re quick which makes them great for business lunches that don’t allow for super long wait times.

    We love Circa. We visit one every time in DC. Great menu variety, nice selection, not overly upscale but still very nice and our teen kids like it too. Definitely worth a visit.
