    Was greeted and told we had 90 minutes for dinner. From there everything was in double speed. Felt rushed the entire time. Food was fine but we ordered the quinoa bowl. Way too expensive for a grain and salad. Ordered two alcohol beverages. Not even sure they put alcohol in them. Just flavor. Won’t be back - felt rushed, food was mey. Too many other options to choose from in DC.

    The Circa burger is world class. The wagyu hummus (appetizer) is f*cking spectacular. Very nice dining experience and reasonable pricing.
