Been to Circa about a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Food quality is high, service is friendly and good. Only caveat, and admittedly it's a personal preference, short list of micro brews, would like to see more selection. The steak salad is especially good. More

When I lived in West Seattle a few blocks from this restaurant, it became our " go-to "place- tired and/or hungry it was great to have this little spot. The service is usually very friendly and efficient and it doesn't take long to become a recognized "regular". I've never had a disappointing meal there and the portions are hearty. There... More

My husband and I LOVE Circa. This is our go-to place to go out and eat. We've been there several times with just the two of us, and have taken friends with us a few times. Great location for date night or for a small group. Food: We love the food here. We've tried several different things, but absolutely LOVE... More

I have eaten at Circa a few times over the past couple months. Each time, it's relatively the same experience. If you eat early, you shouldn't have a problem getting a table or booth. However, seating runs out pretty quickly. The bar area occupies almost half of this small restaurant. Regardless, once you are seated, the service is prompt and... More

I'll admit it. I'm addicted. I've tried other places in West Seattle, but this is the best. It's small & cozy with changing (interesting) art. I love the blend of sausage with sauce - eggs are always cooked perfectly. I would give it a 5, but the wait staff always seem like they could care less if you were there... More

The place is warm and inviting, a good pub feel as others have commented. Both the beer and wine selection are terrific. The food here is very good. The range is good, based on excellent ingredients, but they take care in not stretching the kitchen too far (notice that others really love the burger--they do stretch beyond that). You will... More

Circa is my favorite place to eat for dinner as well as a killer brunch. Get the Circa burger and you will not be dissatisfied or hungry once you are finished. The service is absolutely wonderful as well. Even though there isn't a great deal of seating, once seated and you get to indulge in their magnificent food, you soon... More
