                    Food and drinks were fairly good value for the money. We asked to sit at an outside table and should have been forewarned that the metro train goes by about every 10-15 minutes and it is very loud

                    Really disappointed. The chicken sandwich had no seasoning. The non alcoholic cocktail should have been twice the size for the price. Just bad.

                    Circa is THE place to take guests who haven't experienced it yet since the service is so personable; the food is remarkably delicious; and the ambiance, either outside or inside, is lovely. I took my sister who enjoyed the mushroom flatbread very much. I had the best burger (moist, well-dressed with onion, tomato, and lettuce, along with a flavorful light sauce the enhanced the meat). Along with the arugula topping the flatbread and the garlic-rich spinach in lieu of fried potato strips, we had a very balanced and delectable luncheon. And Olivia our server was extraordinary, as was the entire staff. We'll be back for sure.
