Went here to grab food before a comedy show and Anna was a great server. Loved the pretzel bread and my bf loved the shrimp as an app. We both got steak frites but he got a side salad and I got a side of broccoli you know cuz we tryna watch our weight so no fries! lol. Food was good, loved the chimmichurri. Bathrooms are clean and nice and the place overall is cute. Garages so ample parking and there's a ton around the area. Cocktails were also good. read more

Went there for lunch with one of our vendor. Parking is always an issue at Tyson's but there is a public lot/garage close by with one hour free parking. The restaurant has lots of windows so not one of those dimly lighted ones where you cannot see the menu without a flash light. Menu has a good amount of choices but not overly excessive. Started with Fried Calamari and Hummus. I prefer lightly batter Calamari with aioli and theirs is a bit heavy in batter with tomato base dipping sauce. The Hummus with Wagyu beef is ok. Can not even tell it is Wagyu as it is chopped up. I got steak frites and it was delicious but a bit on the smaller size. The fries were nicely batter and crispy. Others got sesame crusted tuna and grilled chicken sandwich. I also got the cherry blossom cheesecake. Supposed to be special but to me just normal cheesecake with couple of dried cherries in syrup on the side. Nothing special. Overall, nothing really popped for any of us. read more

Great food and great service. Cloe took care of us at the bar. All of our food was great.

Chloe was great! Food and service were amazing. We had the meat ball sliders and shotgun shrimp. We will be back.

The service was excellent and were attentive to what we needed. The atmosphere and aesthetic was nice and clean. We were both starving and were satisfied with our meals here! The sandwich definitely wasn't dry as it had a ton of sauce. The food overall was pretty good! read more

This was my first time at a CIRCA, this particular location at The Boro. They have other locations as well, in Clarendon, Navy Yard, and Foggy Bottom. We came here after an event in the area and decided to grab some bites for HH - having a couple of dollars off their small plates and flatbreads were great, but I wished their selection of drinks were a bit more expansive. We tried: +Fried Calamari - with cherry peppers and artichokes; served with marinara sauce and a grilled lemon; the menu stated it had olives, but didn't see these; the spicy cherry peppers was a nice little mix; I did wish they had an aioli type of sauce than the marinara, and more tentacles! +Shotgun Shrimp - shrimp that were flash-fried, dressed in a sweet chili sauce, and topped with red bell peppers, broccolini, jicama slaw, pickled jalapenos, and micro cilantro; wasn't really a fan of these, as they had a 'fishy' taste to them and didn't seem to fresh +Chicken Wings - with a spicy apricot chili glaze and served with carrots, celery, and bleu dressing; these wings are large, meaty, and juicy, and I really enjoyed the sweet/savory glaze on these; very addicting, and of a generous portion! +Tuna Poke Nachos - nice and crispy wonton chips, topped with sushi-grade tuna in a sesame ginger marinade, roasted nori, and sesame seeds, drizzled with a wasabi avocado cream and a pickled ginger aioli; these were actually a pleasant surprise, as it was pretty good - the wonton chips were addicting, and the tuna itself was fresh and dressed well +Fries - don't sleep on these, as they had a nice little batter to them, making them nice and crispy; could have eaten a bucket of these! Service was friendly, but since we were sitting outside in their patio, it could have been more attentive with refills and additional orders. In addition, the music was just playing way too loud, to the point that you can't really have a conversation and your ears begin to hurt - we did request for the volume to be turned down, but it was dismissed. Street and garage parking (CIRCA offers validation) available in the area. +Tuna Poke Nachos +Chicken Wings +Fries +uncomfortably loud music +located at The Boro +street and garage parking available read more

Amazing atmosphere. Modern. Classy. I ordered the steak frites which were delicious, but slightly on the tough side, even though cooked medium rare. The parmesan fries were delicious, no complaints there. The bar had a really good selection of liquor. read more

Really good atmosphere here, and it's super easy to park in the area. The severs were friendly, and there are quite a bit of wine choices. Would say the menu has a bit of everything, so there should be something for everyone. I had the short rib, and it was really good - maybe wished it was a bigger portion, lol. read more

Circa at The Boro - Short rib - New American Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

The food here was really good! had a great variety to choose from. We ordered the barbecue chicken flatbread, steak salad, calamari, seasonal ravioli, and season bruschetta. The flatbread was really good and so was the steak salad- would definitely be returning for these two! There is a garage right next to it (garage c). Service was okay (knocked off a star from here) because our server didn't really check on us- we had to keep waving him down for napkins, more water, and the check. It seemed like he'd forget because we had to ask a few times and it wasn't that busy when we had gone- only 2 other tables near us. Overall a great place and would definitely be returning! read more

Food - 5. Service - 5. Ambiance - 3 Been here several times. The food is always very solid, no complaints! The parking is not the easiest. And the ambiance is interesting... it's nice, but it reminds me of a moderately priced hotel's restaurant. Half of the restaurant is a bar, and half is a restaurant, which isn't the problem, it's just a little oddly sterile feeling. Good for a friend group, maybe not for a date. We got many dishes to share, they are pictured here. Everything was solid. Calamari, a couple desserts, pretzel loaf, brussels & blue, a couple other dishes not pictures. Can't complain about any of the food. read more

We tried Circa in Arlington and liked it. Since its new location opened in Boro and we knew about it, we decided to try it. The food exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed our dinner with tasty food and delicious drinks that were perfectly paired together. We felt the Tuna Poke Nacho had a dense flavor, and the nachos were not crispy because of the sauce covering them but enjoyable. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant as our table was further from the bar area. We are looking forward to returning to try more dishes soon! read more

Not recommended -- we got food poisoning. Last Sunday, my son and I visited Circa at the Boro, McLean, and we both became seriously ill afterward. Before that day, I had only eaten regular home-cooked food (I cook at home), so I am confident the illness came from the restaurant. My symptoms started later that same night, and my son's began Monday morning. We experienced severe stomach upset and typical food poisoning symptoms. What we ordered: - clam chowder soup - two flatbreads (one with mushrooms, the other with a lot of tomato sauce -- I don't remember the exact name) - shrimp and grits We shared all the dishes between the two of us. I still feel weak, so I wanted to warn others to be careful when choosing this restaurant. read more

My coworkers and I stopped by Circa for lunch around 11:15am on a Wednesday. We didn't have reservations, but the staff was able to accommodate us at one of their high top tables for our large group of 9. The place wasn't quite busy yet, but the lunch crowd picked up shortly after we got situated. The wait staff was attentive, and our food came out in a timely manner. They had daily specials as part of their lunch menu, but I kept it simple and got a Margherita pizza. Dough was great, but overall it was pretty standard and what I should expect from a decent margherita pizza. read more

My friend and I made a reservation to have lunch at Circa over the weekend. I wanted a place that allowed dogs and they had an outdoor patio area that was pet friendly. It was a bit chilly out but the outdoor heater helped. We started off with drinks and an app to share. My White Peach Bellini was light and perfectly sweet. The Avocado Toast was the best I've ever had. It didn't look like your average avocado toast but it was packed with so much flavor and just SO good! For my main entree, I ordered the Southern Chicken Benedict while my friend ordered the Circa Burger. My plate was huge and everything was really tasty. The sausage gravy wasn't too heavy and the skillet potatoes were the perfect accompaniment. The staff were friendly and brought out a water bowl for my pup. Service was all around really good and the place was nice and modern. A great spot for brunch food and drinks. Love that they're also pet friendly! read more

Circa at The Boro - Maple bourbon old fashioned. - New American Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

The recently opened Circa at the Boro is part of the local hospitality team Metropolitan Hospitality Group (https://www.eatmhg.com). I've been a long time fan of the the Circa at Foggy Bottom (https://www.yelp.com/biz/circa-at-foggy-bottom-washington-2?sort_by=date_asc), having patronized that location numerous times before shows at the Kennedy Center, as well as for lunch outings when my office was still down in DC. This newest Circa location at The Boro, is something this ever burgeoning section of Tysons desperately needs. There is a dearth of quality dining options in Tysons which not only offer tasty food, but also provide great service at a value price point. IMHO, Circa checks all those boxes. I met up with a friend for a HH and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. Be forewarned, that the HH (which runs from 4-7pm) is extremely popular and the compact (translation: small) bar area fills up quickly. In fact, the only real detraction I have for this location is the footprint of the space, which is noticeably smaller than their other restaurants. Upon walking in, the main dining room is off to the left, with the bar taking up the other half to the right. The interior is decidedly modern with muted brown being the dominant color scheme, soft off white illumination from pendant lighting, and reserved print floor tiles completing the look. I will say, that because of the choice of flooring, during peak dining times, the decibel level is elevated (in the bar area anyway) and you'll likely have to raise your voice to be heard. The crowd for HH will be the usual suspects of business casual attired and lanyard wearing folks - many of whom likely are employed or draw their employment in some form or fashion from the US government. While I typically enjoy a cold beer after a long day (of which there is an extensive list of $5 draft beers during HH), of late, I've rediscovered bourbon and wanted to try their Old Fashioned. True to my Asian palate, I enjoy an Old Fashioned because has that "sweet but not too sweet" flavor profile. Circa prepares a superior Old Fashioned, because you can detect the sweetness from the sugar and slight bitterness from the bitters with being able to make out the caramel and vanilla flavor from the bourbon. Food wise, small plates and flatbreads are $2 during HH, and 2-3 plates should be PLENTY as a light to full meal. We ordered the hummus with ground wagyu beef, chicken wings, and rustic Italian flatbread. Again, I've always like the food at Circa, and would characterize it as "Contemporary American fare." I would hesitate to even call this bar food, since everything was competently prepared and well seasoned. Good chicken wings should never be greasy, and these were not. A spicy, slightly sweet apricot glaze were applied to the meaty wings and were served with the requisite carrot and celery sticks; The house blue cheese dressing was great! The hummus definitely had notes of tahini and the picked chilis and pine nuts gave it a good crunch. I kind of wish we had taken our server suggestion and gotten the spiced cauliflower option, since I found the ground up wagyu beef to be a bit dry - it was still a good appetizer since the accompanying garlic naan bread was perfect for dipping. The flatbread is a real deal at $13. Hand stretched dough is baked in a high heat oven and topped with sopressata, local Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, mozzarella, and a light marina sauce. I love a pizza/flatbread that doesn't skimp on toppings, and Circa loads them on here. The Italian meats had a nice spice mixture and saltiness, which contrasted nicely with the chewy/crispy crust. Service was also top-notch with various bartenders and servers popping by to remove plates, refill water glasses, and check up on us. And don't forget to get your parking ticket validated at the front desk, if you parked in one of the nearby garages. I usually avoid Tysons during rush hour because of the horrific traffic, but Circa may make me reevaluate that position. read more

We ended up at Circa on Black Friday, taking a break between shopping. It was busy but not too crazy we were able to get a high top table for 7 of us. The restaurant itself feels quite open because of all the windows and doesn't feel overly cluttered. We ordered a variety of items and overall it was great. My favorite appetizer was definitely the pretzel roll, it was delicious I wish we had ordered a second one. I ordered a chopped salad with steak, it was very good. It's a simple dish but doesn't come out right all the time, I was quite happy with it. We had a few pizzas which received really positive reviews from the table, in particular the BBQ pizza. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and will likely make my way here again. read more

The food was great, and Cash was an excellent server! I had a good, refreshing cocktail as well.

Great area, atmosphere, and service. The braised short rib was very tender. I think the dish had too much spinach. The mashed potatoes and onions were great. The food was good overall, but it needed more seasoning to make it truly worth the price. The Rentfrew zero proof cocktail was sweet and delicious. You can tell the difference when they take the time to create a drink without alcohol instead of just removing alcohol from another cocktail. read more

We had been to this location once before & decided to go back trying to figure out where to eat. The 2nd time our server was Edwin. I've never had a more knowledgeable server in my life. He didn't just tell us what he loved but told us about how the flavors work together. He didn't just have in-depth knowledge about the food but about drinks as well. So when deciding where to eat today, we instantly thought of Circa. Not only was it as good as we remembered, but we got Edwin again! Winning! read more

Food and service was bad. We had reservations and we weren't asked for drinks for 30 minutes. The hostess ended up taking our drink order while they tried to assign our server. We got our appetizer before the drinks ever showed. My shrimp and grits had raw shrimp in it so I had to change menu items and request something new. We were comp'd but after we asked if the zero bill was correct they charged the entire bill and comp'd dessert. The dessert was pretty horrible. The place is beautiful but wow what a disappointment. They can handle large crowds but they were empty on a Friday night so I question how good they are normally. read more

Foods are AMAZING!! GREAT Flavor and balance and decent price! I tried all of the popular menus, and they were NOT a hype. I definitely recommend SHOTGUN SHRIMP & HUMMUS! Also, portions were pretty generous too! I was super full after two appetizers but still able to finish my main without any leftover! That's how good it was Service was also 5/5, and ambiance feels very much like Cheesecake factory but with better food personally! It hasn't been open for long, so it looks clean and a great place for family! read more
