Reviews for Circa at The Boro in Tysons, VA
Great bar, food and atmosphere. Tyson?s needed a place like this!
When I say this food is decadent, I?m searching for an even elevated word!! Circa at The Boro was impeccable! My boyfriend and I... went for the soft opening and was served by Amy. She was knowledgeable about the menu, had great descriptions for each dish andknew exactly what drink to pair with each dish. We had the Waygu sliders - hands down the BEST sliders I have had. They areperfectly balanced with juicy flavor, marinara sauce and some kind of pesto/guac sauce. The caesar salad was crisp and thedressing was made in house. Very creamy and delicious! Also, well balanced, the salad was not over dressed. We had the scallopsand short rib for entrees. The scallops had the most perfect crust and sat on top of a bed of mushroom risotto. The risotto wasa little under cooked - crunchy, but delicious all the same. The short rib came in a three level tower - mash potatoes, shortrib, and topped with THIN fried onion rings. The meat was so soft, we could eat it with a spoon! No knife needed! We paired ourentrees with the Old Fashioned drink which is served with a piece of rock ice. This is how bourbon should be served. The icemaintains its form therefore it doesn?t water down your drink. I was able to sip and enjoy over the course of 15 minutes andprobably could have drug it out longer. I couldn?t?. It was the second best Old Fashioned I?ve had! We wrapped up the night withpumpkin cheesecake. It was light and had such a light flavor. There was nothing overbearing about it. The manager Rory waswonderful in conversation and making sure everything was just right. We even were able to meet the owner, Vince, who was alsovery nice and excited about the night. My boyfriend and I had just eaten out at another upscale restaurant the night before andCirca outperformed in every way! I am a life long patron of this restaurant group and this was only my first experience! Read more
Purple Rain drink is delicious. The wagyu beef sliders, macaroni, scallops, and tuna nachos were all fantastic! The servers and... bartenders were all super nice. Read more
We ate today for the soft opening and every dish was fantastic! The portions were generous and we tried the Brussels sprouts and... spinach salad for appetizer and the eggplant Parmesan sandwich and Italian flatbread for mains. The Brussels were addictive andnicely complemented by the blue cheese sauce without being over sauced. The spinach salad had a lot of flavor and ate like ameal on its own. The eggplant Parmesan sandwich was generous on the pesto which gave it a garlic bread like quality. Theflatbread was crispy without being greasy which is much appreciated around the holidays and all the heavy food. We tried a mulefrom the bar with great ginger flavor and a zero alcohol concoction with grapefruit and rosemary. The wait staff was attentiveand thoughtful. We would order all of these items again and looking forward to coming back! Read more
Loved the short rib and blackberry margarita! Great atmosphere too. Tysons needed a good date spot like this.
