"For Cinco de Mayo only, CIRCA Clarendon, Navy Yard and Foggy Bottom will be serving a holiday menu composed of taco kits, fajita kits, and special sizes of salsas and dips starting at $35 per kit. Wash down the entire spread with a small or medium-sized order of classic or strawberry-jalapeño margaritas." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"There is some literal overlap with its next-door neighbor, however. Él Bebe will share the same bathroom with the latest Circa location, which debuted about a week ago. Circa is expected to debut lunch by March 19, following by Él Bebe by March 27, with an awning soon covering both. The Miami-based artist will help weave a similar look between both spaces with three horizontal pieces at Circa that feature cherry blossoms." - Tierney Plumb
"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
"Circa right near the Capital One Arena was so excited about Drake’s D.C. show that beverage director Paul Williams whipped up the Drake “Free Smoke” cocktail with Don Q Gran Anejo Rum, Laphroaig 10 Year Scotch, cynar, and St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram." - Adele Chapin
"Metropolitan Hospitality Group opened its latest Circa outpost this month, bringing its familiar lineup of burgers, seasonal cocktails, and bulgogi lettuce wraps." - Eater Staff
