    We love Circa. We visit one every time in DC. Great menu variety, nice selection, not overly upscale but still very nice and our teen kids like it too. Definitely worth a visit.

    We enjoyed brunch with a group of adults and kids split across two tables when we were in town for a volleyball tournament. There is a view of the nationals stadium, bottomless cocktails, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

    We went to Jackie for Valentine’s Day and it was our first time there. We ate from the valentines menu and it was really delicious. We ordered the half dozen oysters which were great and for starters I had the butternut squash blossom. My husband had the tuna tostada and it was made very well and had lots of flavor. Next, for entrees I had the steak with potatoes and finished up with the cheesecake and my husband had the yellowtail fish and dessert was coconut custard. All in all we really enjoyed our meal and we would recommend.
