"Circa is bumping almost everyday I call in or I walk past because of 2 things; they do a happy hour that’s terrific value and they do great food. You get me in for the $5 drafts, you keep me with the super tasty flat breads. Don’t sleep on the rest of the menu though, the Short Rib in particular is exceptional. This is a rare place that strikes a really good balance between price and quality and the fact it’s regularly as busy as it is shows that."

"Went here for a dinner & drinks with colleagues after work. Overall, the server was excellent and very catering to us. It was a comfortable atmosphere. For the price, I was not overwhelmed with the food, the presentation was better than the taste. We did order five different appetizers. The tuna nachos and the brussels sprouts were good! Definitely would come back here for a happy hour and appetizers, but probably not for dinner."

"My first time here was last weekend when I decided to do a a getaway next door in DC for a concert. The food, staff, and ambiance was incredible and TOP TIER quality 💯"

"Lovely experience at CIRCA. The service and food were excellent. Natalia was our waitress and she was great! The cocktails were all delicious, too! Definitely recommend CIRCA at Clarendon if you’re looking for a nice meal."

"One of my favorite restaurants in Arlington! The food is consistently amazing, some of my go-to dishes are the hummus appetizer, jambalaya, and Thai shrimp salad. The flavors are fresh and well-balanced, and the menu offers something for everyone. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The staff are always kind, respectful, and attentive, which makes every visit feel welcoming. They’re especially great if you have any allergies or dietary concerns, they take it seriously and go out of their way to accommodate. Highly recommend if you're in the area and looking for a spot that delivers on both taste and service."
