The food was excellent and the service attentive and friendly. It seemed odd that they didn’t have bottled still or sparkling water but other than that great

Food is great, service is superb and friendly, today I was there and I couldn’t ask for anything better when I heard a lady asking for the Wi-fi to give a bad review because they didn’t have tea... sorry, costa is just around the corner, not a good reason to give a bad review to a good restaurant

The food was excellent, but they rannouy of 4 out of 6 of their meat dishes . The atmosphere wasn't the same as when the male manager ran the place. And then card machine to pay wasn't working. Polite enough staff but not exactly friendly.

Had a fantastic evening catching up with old friends at Circo. The food was stunning - from the obligatory padron peppers right through to an amazing chocolate avocado pudding! Excellent service throughout. Circo is a gem of a local restaurant.

Lovely food, wonderfully executed. Sadly out of the cheaper white Rioja and the Patatas Bombas are rather boring. But the rest is incredible - food and not least, sherry!

Great food. Out of the 8 dishes, 6 were great, 2 were not quite there. That's a good score! Lovely atmosphere. Music is a bit loud, which makes conversation a bit hard. Will return!

Our second time here and every bit as good as the first. The food is exceptional - creative and delicious. The desserts in particular were incredible - couldn't get enough of that light lemony sponge! Wine list is very well selected and absolutely great service - we'll definitely be back.
