CIRCA at Navy Yard

Circa Casual Bistro Opens a Navy Yard Location With Trustworthy Burgers | Eater DC

"I visited the new Navy Yard location of Circa, which opened at 4 p.m. tonight, and it positions itself as a casual bistro and a safe bet for burgers, seasonal cocktails, and bulgogi lettuce wraps in the neighborhood around Nationals Park. Locally owned Metropolitan Hospitality Group is keeping the concept consistent with culinary director Mike Huff’s other bistros, offering familiar plates like Brussels sprouts with bacon and blue cheese, a Caesar seasoned with “everything,” and tuna poke nachos built on wonton chips. Winter seasonal specials include roasted cauliflower with pumpkin seed romesco and charred lemon emulsion, pumpkin ravioli, and a warm apple dumpling with creme anglaise, butterscotch sauce, and cinnamon ice cream. The opening is marked by an exclusive Tropic Thunder IPA from Atlas Brew Works (also coming to Circa’s Chinatown, Clarendon, and Foggy Bottom locations), and the Navy Yard spot will soon extend service to lunch and brunch; regular hours are 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday–Wednesday and 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Thursday–Saturday." - Gabe Hiatt
