Circa at The Boro

CIRCA at The Boro – Tysons Corner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had a wonderful lunch experience at CIRCA today — the vibe was warm, modern, and relaxed, perfect for a mid-day meal. The space is open and inviting with just the right balance of energy and comfort. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. The steak and eggs were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, paired nicely with roasted potatoes and grilled asparagus. The crab and spinach omelet was another standout — creamy, rich, and filled with fresh crab meat and greens, served with a crisp, refreshing side salad. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The service truly made the experience even better. Ramsy, the bartender, was friendly, attentive, and personable — he made us feel welcome right away. Dave, the manager, was

BAR REVIEW. Came here Saturday afternoon for drinks—we sat at the bar, but restaurant itself was pretty empty. Bartender made tasty cocktails—we tried the Vodka Mojito, Blackberry Margarita, So Fresh & So Green, and a Vodka Passionfruit cocktail. My friend got the Beignets and loved it!

We were excited to try this restaurant last Friday, but left underwhelmed. Despite the dining room not being busy, it took a long time for a server to approach our table. When he did, he was so soft-spoken it was difficult to hear him, and he seemed unsure of himself. The appetizer was especially disappointing—the Brussels sprouts were described as sautéed but arrived looking nearly raw, which the first bite confirmed. When we mentioned this, the server argued instead of addressing the issue. Our entrées were prepared well enough but lacked anything memorable, and the sarcastic tone in which our server later asked, “Are the scallops cooked to your liking?” made the experience worse. Between the overpriced dishes and uncomfortable service, we don’t plan to return.

Circa at The Boro is a great spot if you’re going for quality food and a relaxed, stylish atmosphere. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the shrimp and grits, which were flavorful and perfectly cooked. The avocado toast was fresh and well done, and the beignets were light and tasty. The only small miss was that the beignets could’ve used a bit more powdered sugar to really give them that authentic touch. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

The calamari appetizer was okay, lacking a unique flavor. The circa burger was fantastic and I would recommend that. I ordered a mint julep cocktail from the bar and was given a mule instead, the mule was good so I didn’t bother me. Overall good burger and a nice atmosphere, definitely recommend.
