We had an absolutely wonderful time at Circo. The food was so fresh and delicious, it’s easily the best small plates food I’ve ever had and we’re big tapas fans. The small restaurant area is well done out and the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming, I would recommend it to everyone.

Our visit was early evening on a Friday so when we arrived, the restaurant was very quiet but around 7:00 it soon began filling up. The waiter took his time to explain the menu to us. The food was delicious and each tapas plate was generous enough to share between 4. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly. A member of our group was celebrating a birthday and we were given a new dish to try and a dessert to share gratis. I would strongly recommend Circo to my friends.

Nobody likes greasy, reheated tapas. This used to be a great place but this Saturday it was half full and there was a failed sense in the air. Shame - all resources and attention must have been diverted to their new place

We arrived for our friend’s birthday and the usual service and food wasn’t at all on par with previous standards. The tortilla was cold in the middle, the service was minimal with many questions we asked having clipped answers, and despite having preinformed that it was my friend’s birthday no effort was made to appear celebratory toward her. It felt like it could have been dinner at any place. Most significantly, there appeared to be a change in staff in the kitchen and the food lacked the typical flavour that circo has been known for. I’ve been a regular as has one of my companions but we are unlikely to return. We paid in full and left a small tip to be polite as we were not going to have any difficult interactions with the staff during the birthday, but it was completely underwhelming and a real surprise. It used to be excellent

The food was excellent. We were very well looked after. Were the sticky ribs our favourite or was it the pork belly but then there was the manchego cheese & little gem lettuce? Personally my favourite was the sticky ribs.

Delicious food and very nice little restaurant, we go often. This review would have been a 6, the only slight downer was that one of the chefs was in a pretty bad mood and kept having arguments with other staff. As we were sat right at the bar where the food was being prepared it was pretty hard to ignore... still the food he prepared was top notch!

Great Staff! Lovely atmosphere, beautiful presentation but portion sizes and execution of certain dishes do not match with prices. Mackeral and Calamari were perfect octopus a bit overcooked.
