I had time to kill so I stopped in for dinner. Sat at the bar. The bartender, Pedro, was dope from the start. Made some recs from the menu and he didn't miss. Highly recommend the blackened chicken mango salad and any drink you like! He can make them all. I don't get to navy yard often but I'd totally come back.

Reliable restaurant located in the heart of Navy Yard. I've been here multiple times for business meals and dinner with friends--I'd recommend making a reservation and checking out their seasonal menu options. They also have a nice bar area with seating at the bar and tables along with outdoor seating if the weather permits.

I really enjoy Circa's happy hour. $2 off small plates and flatbreads + drink specials that feature a $9 cocktail, $8 dollar wine, and $5 beer! I've really been on the hunt for amazing flavorful mocktails that aren't just sugar. The Blossom Lounge (camomile, ginger, strawberry, mint, and lemon) did not disappoint! The bar service was great and attentive and the ambiance was cute too. It was packed at all on a Thursday at 5pm.

What an amazing meal! This place came highly recommended by several folks at a conference I was attending in the area so I had to try it. Everything from the service to food runner to the manager on duty was on point. I know that there are many different restaurants in the area, I would make it a point to try this one.

I stopped in for an early dinner here recently while in DC on business. It was busier than I would have expected for the time of day, but they were able to seat me at a table with only a short wait. The waiters were terrific; I had arrived near the end of one's shift and she seamlessly passed me off to her colleague before heading out, including a special request I had. The blackberry margarita was so awesome I had a second one just for fun. I also ordered the heirloom tomato bruschetta from the seasonal menu. It wasn't the little bruschetta bread I would have expected, rather more like a garlic toast, but it was pretty tasty. I do wish they had disclosed in the menu description that it contained onions, though. The chicken paillard was good, but began to feel a little oily especially toward the end of the dish. I would certainly dine here again if given the opportunity, but might choose a different entree next time.

A great quick lunch in a convenient location in DC. Parking was fairly simple as it wasn't a game day so we snagged a spot by the stadium. The restaurant is beautiful and the bar is large. There's also patio seating. I had a delicious chicken sandwich with fries and my friend had a salad. It was huge! My sandwich had the most delicious dill pickle aioli on it and the chicken was tender and crispy. Yum! Our waiter was attentive and quick. We were in and out! Great dining option when in the area.

One of my go-to spots for a quick lunch/dinner or weekday happy hour. They also have weekly deals (like half off wine bottles). The service has always been good and the place itself is cute with a standard American bar vibe. The drinks are well made and the food is solid - the wings, wagyu sliders and macaroni and cheese are all great and flavorful. My friends also really like the pretzel loaf. I get the kale parmesan salad with blackened shrimp (pictured) like very other week. It might be the best restaurant salad I've had. Their bread pudding with ice cream is also excellent, not too big and very rich - a great way to end a meal.

I had the best customer service at this restaurant. I made a reservation on open table the day of based on reviews. I opted into sharing that my birthday was coming up and I would be celebrating. I sat near the bar area and it was not too loud or anything. I ordered a mimosa and the French toast platter. The mimosa was delicious. The French toast was different in a good way. It has a corn flake crust, almond granola, fresh berries, mascarpone maple cream. I asked for the berries and cream on the side as this traditionally doesn't come with the platter. The food was fresh and tasty. They gave me a birthday card signed which was such a good jester. The waiter paid for my drink since I was celebrating my birthday. 10/10 experience

Food-- Chicken Paillard 9/10; I'd probably ask for a bit of extra sauce next time. Lovely entree, super flavorful & the perfect portion. Braised short rib: 9/10; super tender and full of flavor. Cocktails-- Tequila Mockingbird (seasonal): 7/10; I want to say it was a watermelon drink? Ehhhhh mediocre & I can't remember the other cocktail I had. Service-- 7.6/10; I wish they would've told me what drinks were on HH when I went to the bar [only place that fulfills HH & I'd rather get a drink for half off than full price, duh] to order.. server was a bit forgetful and we had to repeat a few times things we needed like napkins, & if I could order HH demos at the bar :) They did in fact bring water for our dog that accompanied us, thank you for that! Ambiance-- 10/10; we sat on the patio and it was a beautiful day!! If I don't sit at the bar I'd definitely be on the patio.
