You know how people always talk fondly of their neighborhood "regular"? Circa is the good food/nice people go to place that's homey in the best possible way. Pro tip: ask for chicken enchiladas with the mole sauce & save up your carb allowance to enjoy the coconut rice that comes with it. Also a nice cocktail program. More

This tiny corner cafe is my new favorite place! Would recommend. We caught the tail end of Sunday brunch. Started with beignets and Stumptown coffee. The Veggie Monster Omelette was packed with flavor and fresh vegetables. I'd come back for drinks too. Staff were friendly and food was hot and fresh.

  • Drew P.

Simply delicious. They just opened back up and are having a lovely welcoming day. We were greeted with prosecco and farewelled with amazing cupcakes. We love their steaks, and it was as tasty as it always is. Be sure to give them a visit if you're around. More

This place is an absolute gem! Thoroughly enjoyed our date night tonight and every bite of food was delicious. So lucky to have this restaurant in WS. Our server Willow was a delight and very knowledgeable about wine. Can’t wait to come back! More

Another day of supporting our local businesses during the outbreak. It’s been a minute since I’ve been here and really I do t know why! It’s sooo good and the service has always been great. There are times we just call and get the chocolate

This quaint neighborhood bistro offers a fantastic selection of local northwest cuisine and comfort, food, including a wide selection of spirits and nonalcoholic drinks. If you're looking for a cozy, quaint and comfortable bistro experience

  • Fresha Peppa

What a wonderful place! I'm giving 5 stars because the staff were very pleasant and attentive to special requests (extra parmesan and side of sour cream that was not at all similar to store bought). I liked the overall decor and vibe, and I

  • Lindsay Bowen

My husband and I have been a couple times for brunch which we loved and finally made it to dinner which did not disappoint. All other reviews mention a cute neighborhood spot and I totally agree. It's comfortable and casual and a great spot

  • Ashley Alexander

We came in for dessert before a movie and sat at the bar on 8/20. Asked for suggestions, and boy was the bar tender spot on. The chocolate cake and raspberry panna cotta were amazing. The chocolate cake came with chocolate sauce (which was

  • Chris Le

The food and drinks were delicious, however, the service is less than desirable here. Although we came in a little before the dinner rush, other couples got their server and food/drinks ordered far ahead of us, and it wasn’t until we asked

  • Jason L.

Know what's great about Circa? Everything. Hard stop. Circa is the true essence of a neighborhood pub where everyone knows your name, but the elevated, homemade cuisine, well-curated drink selection, and fair prices truly set it apart from

  • Kim Deal

This place was amazing! I got the salmon piccata and it was one of the best meals I've ever eaten. It was seasoned perfectly, crispy in the right places, and just altogether delicious. The kids menu had the "staples" but also had real food

We dropped by Circa after having watched a movie across the street and were pleasantly surprised. This place is beautiful inside, quite small, but charming. What stood out for us was the food and the service. I had a steak entrée that was

I hadn't been to Circa in years but was in the Admiral area running errands, had a hankering for breakfast and a Bloody Mary and decided to stop in. Circa did not disappoint!! The food was amazing! The breakfast grits were the best I've

The location is convenient and the staff is fantastic. The food, however...not so great. I've been here three times: once had the steak salad (ordered medium rare and it came out *extremely* rare, bright red and very chewy,) once had an

This place has the best butternut squash 'veggie' mole tacos. Skirt steak dinner and burgers are top notch. I've not been disappointed once and been here dozens of times over the past decade. It's family friendly and has a great West

Service was top-notch and, based on reviews, most people seem to enjoy the food. But mine was disappointing. I had "The Standard" for brunch. The scrambled eggs were excellent, but the toast was hard, the bacon was dry, and the hash

This menu is amazing. My first visit (Circa has been here forever). It is fun to see so many things you'd like to try that you can't make up your mind. It is a wonderful, small, local kinda place. That is the atmosphere. America is

  • Yizu Lulu Yeh

Very friendly staffs but super slow in delivering brunch. We arrived 12:30 pm and the food arrived at 1:15 The hash brown came out to be too salty. Dungeness crab cakes Benedict was good. Hope to see progress improvement next time.

  • Shannon Stallard

The selection is limited. However, what they do have is done quite well. There were also some wonderful specialty cocktails that were quite unique. Kids are welcome, which is a plus. I can not recommend their French beignets. More
