""As always, food and service were very good. I had mussels and enoyed them thoroughly. I've been going to this location for decades and have yet to be disappointed. It's nice before you're going to the Kennedy Center or when you want to hang out with a friend or with yourself."

"I have been to Circle Bistro before and thought it was very good - this past week when I was there the food was outstanding. I had the wild rock fish and it tasted so good - I plan to head back there again in the very near future. Our waitress was so helpful and kept an eye on us without interrupting"

"Loved every course each of the three of us had. Beautiful blending of flavors, inspired choices of ingredients. Restaurant honored our request for a quiet, partially secluded table where we could talk and celebrate something we had long been hoping for in our family. Great evening, like every one we've spent at this special place."

"We had a great dinner with friends before a late night show at the Kennedy Center. The service was great. The specialty drinks were very good. Every morsel of food was delicious! After our dinner, we had a short walk to the Kennedy Center for our show. Perfect evening!"

"Intimate (50-seat) dining room tucked away on the lower level of One Washington Circle hotel. Sophisticated menu includes venison, veal tenderloin, and duck. Each course was perfectly executed. The $35 3-course pre-theatre (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) dinner is a fantastic bargain. Free valet parking. Excellent selection of wines by the glass as well as a couple of unusual local beers on tap. A gem."

"Absolutely one of the best meals I've had in some time, in DC or anywhere else for that matter. The prix fixe pre-theater menu is a true bargain. In the past, waitservice has been a bit uneven but not on this occasion. I could certainly give Circle Bistro a very strong recommendation."
