The Social Circle Bistro is located just a few steps from the front desk of the Cambria Hotel. It was a great place to relax after a long day. The menu selection was very limited, but the staff was friendly super friendly, and the drinks were icy cold. The breakfast buffet was way over-priced at $20 per person.

We arrived at Circle Bistro on a freezing night and were met at the door by a gracious gentleman who showed us to a table by the fire. From then on the dinner proceeded faultlessly. My only caveat is that the menu is very limited.

Go-to place for lunch meetings. Staff always helpful. Menu items always appealing and well prepared. Great choice of salads. Top one with salmon...great start and the sweet potato fries have graduated to top of class!

Our muffin was moldy! It was disgusting, so we left. It also smelt like old hotels that used to allow smoking. Not pleasant to smell that while eating. The waitresses were friendly.

Breakfast Ok day 1, the omelet maker no show, egg specially made some where else! Day 2 buffet was good, usual choices and good coffee. But if you can get Orlando for happy hour, man knows his stuff. This is 4 star hotel so the prices are within the norm. Walking distance to lots of local bars and sights.

This restaurant is located in the Cambria Hotel. The food is very good. But it is priced as if it was fine dining and it's not. We ate there twice in the week that we were in D.C. But tried to find other local places other times due to the prices.
Definitely one of Washington's best-kept secrets, yet has been around for years and is appreciated by those who know about it; enjoy the creative, delicious menu (and beautiful presentation); calming ambience to be able to appreciate the food; and the courteous, excellent, unobtrusive service--all of which equals a five-star rating!
My husband and I had breakfast here on Sunday, February 18th but I neglected to mention Open Table to the restaurant and would like to receive my dining points. We stayed in Room 317. The service was great and the food was delicious. Thank you, Sandra Callahan

Circle Bistro is a neighborhood go-to for lunch, happy hour, dinner, or setting up a meeting for friends. The food is excellent and innovative. The staff is excellent, although from time to time inattentive. It is reliably good.
We made a reservation for 11:45 on Sunday for brunch. When we arrived at 11:45 we were told they were closing at noon. Why on earth take an 11:45 reservation to only close at noon? Also, not a good way to welcome a guest. Needless to say, we left and went elsewhere because of this.

Wonderful hidden gem! Service was great and we truly enjoyed our meals. The bar area has a wonderful fireplace. It was a very quiet location which was great for a lunch. Will definitely be back!
Really good salmon.
