Really enjoyed my time at circa! Before coming, I perused the menu and knew that I wanted the chicken paillard. It was something I'd never heard of and looked like it had Angel hair pasta, arugula, and the chicken looked interesting. It looked fried, but not in a typical way. So when I got my meal, I was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the chicken was. It was a light crispy, airy texture to the skin. And the pasta was delicious - so good. It had mushrooms and sweet peppers along with the butter sauce. Thoroughly enjoyed it! I also ended up getting a mocktail which was a spicy faux margarita. Not bad! It had a nice ambience for groups, and our server was super helpful. He made a lot of good suggestions and made sure to check on us. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and looking for a nice dining experience! read more

After 5 years of happiness with Circa my joyful experience came to the end with their decision to change their menu. I hope they monitor reviews and will hear my grievances. I understand that you can't as a restaurant work on the same menu all the time,but they take away almost all staples and replace them with something very questionable. So far I tried 2 items and both were with major issues. First I tried Grilled trout entree and trout was bland with nice farro side . Whole dish seems underwhelming and had a lack of bonding sauce or flavor profile to make it a dish. Second time I had Salmon salad and this was not good at all. Salmon itself was perfectly cooked as a medium rare on my liking and champagne dressing in mixed greens was good. But I salad had cold and slimy potato pieces and big chunks of blackish marinated onions,it was hard to eat and even unpleasant. I'm really disappointed,because Thai shrimp salad was absolutely best salad in DC area as well as other very popular dishes from old menu. Please bring back Thai Shrimp!! read more

Great spot for dinner or happy hour right by the offices at the Boro. They have an outdoor patio, large bar, a range of booths and high top tables, and good event space. We had about 20 people for an event and they were great with service. One nice addition to their menu were health-focused cocktails. Food offered something for everyone and was good and prices were very reasonable. read more

This review is for the happy hour. We tried two house cocktails, Purple Rain and Tranquilo. The blueberry habanero shrub really shines through in the purple rain, you can taste the heat. Tranquilo is mezcal forward, you get layers of mezcal, agave, vodka--again a winner. The bartender made good recommendations and knew his craft. Empty for an early Tuesday evening but trust the good reviews. Ambience os typical Circa, nothing to dislike. read more

My favorite brunch spot, been here over a dozen times and the avocado toast is divine! Brunch is available on both Sat & Sun. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Love the kids meal with generous portion and great prices! Mother's Day brunch is the best and moms get a complimentary rose, stayed fresh for a week! For my birthday, the waiters signed a nice card and put a candle on a warm chocolate chip cookie. I got a coupon for BOGO app at Circa and also a free app at El Bebe next door. These gestures really make a celebration special! Avocado Toast (5/5) - Highlight of brunch! After taking a bite of my hubby's avocado toast, it has become my go-to! dish! The avocado is very ripe and tastes like guacamole with 2 perfectly poached eggs and sweet caramelized onion resting on thick slice of country toast. Request a steak knife for cutting through the thick bread (mildly annoying to do with a butter knife!) Pretzel Loaf (5/5) - The fluffy and buttery loaf was scrumptious and didn't even need the side of butter with it (it was so moist!). French Toast (5/5) - The french toast with toasted almond granola with fresh berries, mascarpone maple cream, and crispy corn flake crust hits the spot and a decadent dessert for breakfast! It tastes like a coconut donut! Both my son and I devoured and polished up hubby's toast! Kids meals (5/5) - Generous portions of both the scrambled eggs with home fries and also the french toast (comes with 2 pieces while the standard portion comes with 3 pieces) is a great deal and very affordable! Side of Home Fries (5/5) - While I didn't have the best experience with tepid fries on my 1st visit, I'm glad I gave them another try the next visit. The crispy potatoes with grilled onions and red peppers were pipping hot, fresh, and on point! 4 Cheese flatbread (5/5) - The white garlicky cheesy pizza with dollops of ricotta cheese and spinach bursting with flavor and my pick! The flatbreads are thin and crispy, perfect for sharing with a group or can serve as an entree (8 small pieces come in an order). Chocolate Trifle (5/5) - The decadent hazelnut creamy mousse hit the spot, perfect for sharing and a sweet ending to a great meal! Mushroom Flatbread (4/5) - Quite hearty loaded with different types of mushrooms and pesto sauce topped with arugula. If you enjoy mushrooms go for it! Note the flatbreads stay pretty fresh for about 2 days, the veggies are wilted and soggy after that. Garlic Naan with Cauliflower Hummus (4/5) - Flavorful app of za'tar spiced cauliflower with garlic toum and pine nuts served with housemade garlic naan. The naan is very thin with the consistency of a tortilla, don't expect a fluffy Indian naan! Still tasty though. Mac and Cheese (3/5) - Bold cheddar flavor and I wish it was creamier. Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich (2/5) - While the sandwich looked promising with fluffy ciabatta bread, I wasn't a big fan of the pesto sauce and the soggy eggplant with breading falling apart. Marinara sauce would have paired much better. Wish the sandwich came with a choice of fries or salad. The default salad wasn't exciting. Side of Fruit Salad (2/5) - $5.50 for sad unripe fruit (strawberries, melon, cantaloupe) and tart shriveled blueberries. Side of Bacon (1/5) - The bacon was cold. How is that possible? The cocktails are a hit/miss. I I really enjoyed the Blackberry Margarita and fortunately didn't have a bold tequila flavor. I Not a big fan of the Boro Spritz (taste like orange pedialyte) or the Strawberry Mojito (not well balanced). They weren't worth the hefty $13 price tag. T The $5 Mimosas at brunch are a great deal. Happy hour is only outdoors in the high top area and around the bar inside (M-Fri 4-7pm with $2 off flatbreads and apps). Shout-out to the manager, Rori, who is always super polite and accommodating. While we made reservations for outdoor seating on Mother's Day, it was a bit chilly and getting packed inside. He quickly seated us inside. Great food and service! read more

I got the Bistro Omelette which tasted okay but nothing special along with a salad that was pucker up acidic. I thought I had plenty of veggies in my omelette consisting of cheddar cheese, mushrooms, carmelized onions, and spinach. Hubby ate my salad and agreed that it tasted like they forgot to add oil to the dressing. He had huevos rancheros but he had to douse it with cholula sauce. I forgot to mention that I had to add a lot of black pepper to my omelette. Paul, our server, was nice and made a few recommendations. The place was clean yet not as welcoming as our brunch place back home. read more

Huevos Rancheros for me, Bistro omelette for my wife. Place was nicely upscale and we were here for Sunday brunch. Menu was somewhat limited, and flavors were slightly bland (I doused mine with hot sauce, Wife with ground pepper). Except for wife's side salad, which had extremely acidic dressing. Presentation was very nicely arranged, and our waiter, Paul, was friendly and helpful. Parking in the nearby parking garage can be validated so first hour is free. Also veterans are eligible for a discount, but you need to ask, it's not written anywhere. read more

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Circa, we did not have a reservation but luckily there was outdoor seating available. I ordered the cocktail featured on their summer menu and it was lovely and refreshing. For dinner I got the Four Cheese Spinach flatbread and it was perfect. My companion ordered from the Gluten Sensitive menu, Chimichurri Steak with garlic mashed potatoes on the side. It looked amazing and he inhaled it. Our server checked on us frequently but without disturbing us. The air was a bit cool and breezy outside but it was a Saturday evening and inside was rather noisy so we were happy with our seating. read more

What a lovely place super convenient to the office for a dinner. The Paloma was delicious and the variety and quality of the mocktails were also wonderful. Highly recommend the Brussels+Blue as a starter. Flash fried Brussels sprouts with bacon and blue cheese. I could have had this alone! Shotgun shrimp was also a good choice as a starter. I had scallops with a pea risotto that was very good. My colleagues enjoyed the blackened salmon and the chopped salad. Both looked lovely and they enjoyed them greatly. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and offered great suggestions. We passed on dessert but no doubt it would have been as delicious as everything else. I'll definitely head here again the next time I find myself in the area. read more

I had the ahi tuna nachos and the steak salad. The salad looked so good I just dug in and forgot to take a photo! We sat outside and it was the perfect amount of breeze but warmth from the heater. The service was really good and the food and drinks were even better. I will 100% be back read more

The service was very attentive. I appreciated not having to wonder where our host was. I got the Fried Chicken sandwich and substituted the sweet potato fries with the fries that come with the Steak Frites (excellent move on my end). I recommend the sandwich! Super juicy and the overall presentation was pretty tasty. The bread used for the buns is a silent heavy hitter. Strongly recommend for a business lunch at the boro. read more

A really nice higher end restaurant tucked into the Whole Foods shopping development. The main seating area is on the smaller side, but they do have a decent size bar area that has the full menu available. Service was attentive throughout the meal. We went with the cauliflower hummus for an appetizer- I'm not a cauliflower fan, but it was quite tasty with lots of garlic. The sesame tuna salad was quite good as well, with perfect medium rare tuna. We would definitely come back again. read more

Consistently good food. No frills. Braised Short Ribs: 7/10. The meat itself tasted like pot roast to me but the mashed potatoes with red wine jus was divine!!!!! I'd love to get a steak with these mashed potatoes in the future. Brussel Sprouts: 8/10. Blasted to perfection! It needed honey and balsamic to really take it to the next level but not bad! read more

The ambiance is Modern and the place was buzzing around 6 in the evening. Loved the service, attentive and helpful! The food was good, infact it came too fast, before I even got my cocktail. Prices are expected for the area, but for the portion felt a little higher, would've been a 5 star otherwise read more

CIRCA at The Boro - Tysons Corner Had a wonderful lunch experience at CIRCA today -- the vibe was warm, modern, and relaxed, perfect for a mid-day meal. The space is open and inviting with just the right balance of energy and comfort. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, paired nicely with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. The crab and spinach omelet was another standout -- creamy, rich, and filled with fresh crab meat and greens, served with a crisp, refreshing side salad. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service truly made the experience even better. Ramsy, the bartender, was friendly, attentive, and personable -- he made us feel welcome right away. Dave, the manager, was equally impressive, checking in with guests and ensuring everything ran smoothly. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guest experience. This is definitely one of my favorite lunch spots in Tysons -- consistent, classy, and delicious every time. Will be back to try dinner. read more

4.5/5 Food 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance Pretty good mid-high end American. Haven't had anything that I didn't like. I've had their pasta, burger, flatbread. Bar happy hour has reduced price for the flatbread. A bit pricey but pretty appropriate for the flavor profile and the Tysons area. Just one time, there was some leak in their HVAC at the bar area, but otherwise the ambiance is nice and the service is pretty good. Parking as of 2025 is now free in the garages on the weekends/after business hours and free for the first 2 hours during business hours. Making it more convenient to come out. read more

We had a nice brunch date at Circa, our first time here. The food was good: For the Steak & Egg, the steak was very tender and juicy; For the Chicken & Waffle, it was the best I've had in the NoVA area so far. We didn't feel rushed at all considering we went at peak time for Sunday brunch. Our waiter at the bar was very nice and friendly. Parking was plenty and not stressful. There are several parking garages and street parking nearby. We definitely would come back to try other items on the menu. read more

Cash was GREAT! Met with former co-workers for lunch. She was patient and friendly - Top-Tier Waitress.

The food was flavorful and it came out pretty fast. I will say this side is on the pricier side in my opinion but for the flavor and service it's worth it. We also had the wings and wagyu sliders which were good too. read more

Went here for brunch on a Saturday. We were the only people in the restaurant for almost 45 mins once they opened. The staff was nice, but visibly annoyed when items needed to be changed for allergy restrictions. The avocado toast was average (the cheese on it was a bit overpowering and there are too many onions on top). The zero proof drinks were very good though. Decent overall. read more

Visited here on a Thursday around 4pm (during happy hour) and basically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We sat in the bar area at high tops, space is airy, open and the waitress was kind and attentive. We ordered the wagyu hummus and the circa burger. Both were good but the wagyu hummus was the highlight as it was so unique and goooddd. From a foodie who likes a little spicy but can't take crazy spicy, the hummus was alittle spicy as it's topped with jalapeños, but it was amazing with the garlic naan. 10/10 would come back especially for the hummus. read more

First time to Circa at The Boro. Came Saturday morning for brunch. Circa has a very cool vibe and the food it outstanding.

What a LOVELY addition to this area. This is my first time to Circa at The Boro, although I've heard of it before from my coworkers. It did take a minute to find my way from the metro to the restaurant, but it is still an easy walk from the Metro and has a parking garage around the corner. I arrived slightly earlier than my reservation, so the patio table wasn't ready. The ladies at the front were extremely friendly, as was our server, who was almost ready to serve me before I was even seated! I wandered over to the bar and asked if I can order a drink while I wait for the table and the bartender said no, I need to wait to be seated and order with the server. This is the first restaurant I've been to where I cannot order at the bar (even if I was willing to close the bill). While our server was extremely nice, the service was extremely painfully slow. They were much faster at clearing the tables and bringing the check than they were at taking the orders. I had to keep going inside to find the server and place our orders. I guess I got some steps in during the process. The decoration was simple, but exquisite. I loved the vibes at the restaurant, the bar, dining and patio areas. The indoor bar area was self-seating. My only complaint would be the awful, heavy, noisy patio chairs were hard to move!! There were heaters in the patio area, making it cozy. They have a small happy hour menu, which includes house wines, beer and a specific cocktail. The small plates and flatbreads were $2 off. We ordered the house cabernet sauvignon, a couple flatbreads and appetizers. All the food was amazing. Would I return? Absolutely!! read more

I got the kale salad as a starter and the dressing was delicious and the salad was good. Only down side was we noticed black stuff on the kale leaves...we told a waitress and she took it to the back and we didnt hear back from her until the end of our meal. We did some google searches and we're almost certain it was caterpillar poop...we got the salad refunded and got a dessert for free. For entree, i got the short ribs and the spinach was delicious with tons of garlic. We got a big chunk of meat but i wish it was cooked longer so it was more tender because it wasn't very soft. The pumpkin cheesecake was on their seasonal menu and it was...interesting. First reaction was...meh but after a few bites, it started to taste okay. Oh also, I found paper in the cheesecake. Not sure if it was just an unlucky day for us or the kitchen just isn't very clean or organized? Our server was really sweet but it felt like he was overstaffed because he was running around and barely had time to fill up our waters read more
