Circus (Covent Garden)

• What kind of trouble are Circus expecting from the Covent Garden post theatre crowd
• The ostentatiously discreet entrance and the ranks of coolly glamorous staff are all part of the performance of eating at Circus
• Certainly if you were in the mood for a bit of sashimi and a cocktail then there are better places for that
• What we have is somewhere that does both of these things
• Vaguely beefy mixture with no discernible foie gras flavour
• Yellow tail sashimi was a lot more pleasant
• Damp batter were half a dozen scampi sorry
• 30 Canadian lobster was cooked incredibly well
• As was a little pot of what I can only describe as the filling from a Mr Kipling apple pie (this is not a bad thing)
• Mini doughnuts were cardboardy and chewy
• All very happily spending a small fortune on dinner with odd little five minute periods where the lights go down and someone wearing not very many clothes spins on a hoop from the ceiling
• Agree with the previous comment that this is quite expensive
• This was my second visit and the shows were a nice variation on what I had seen before
• The circus master is a lot of fun and regularly interacts with the audience
• Are not too stuffy Circus (Covent Garden) is worth a visit
• The entertainment was pretty good
• The starters were mixed sushi
• The way that the sharing worked (between 2 of you) meant that the portions were large and we got a good few samples of all dishes each
• The mains were outstanding salmon teriyaki was soft and suitably flaky with a beautiful unami rich marinade
• A vegetable thai yellow curry was well balanced and packed full of chunky veg which was appreciated by the veggies
• The tables are pushed back and the restaurant becomes a dancefloor which is good fun
• T really speak for the food since I was mostly there for after hours drinks and some nibbles
• The Dim sum that we did have was pretty amazing though
• Its lack of crisp on the outside is forgivable thanks to its juicy and succulent nature
• Namely the Chilli Miso Black Cod or the Sirloin with Truffle Teriyaki sauce
• The cocktails are made up of some interesting blends that you&rsquo
• Ll want to avoid is the Kentucky Orange
• T recommend this since the seating is slightly awkward and
• We felt like we had become BFFs with half the staff serving at and around our table
• T find anything new but what you get instead is a pleasantly blended combination of all these things in one intimate setting
• Not so great if you're on a budget or with anyone that likes quiet dinners
• I definitely recommend it to any guys with a first date they&rsquo
• I visited this restaurant with my girlfriend
• Actually the place was nice and the quality of the meals was high and the meals looked like proper Pan Asian cuisine
• On hot rocks and that was really nice
• I found it by chance online while looking for best unusual restaurants in London
• The restaurant is very central
• The way it works is that circus shows take place on your table
• The cuisine is Japanese Fusion
• The dishes are full of different flavors from around the world
• I tried both the Scottish black angus fillet and the New York strip loin with its truffle teriyaki sauce
• The last show ends with the last course
• Try and book a table near the stage as it allows for the best views of the action
• Atmosphere and vibe is very energetic
• The mushroom steak was perfectly cooked and very succulent and juicy
• Circus provide a separate bar with a host exotic cocktails to get your tastebuds going
