Had a great night at Circo last weekend for a friend's 50th birthday. Really enjoyed the entertainmemt and the food was pretty good too.

Don't bother visiting Circo if you want decent service. We only went in for drinks but this was too much trouble for the lazy bar staff. Went to another bar in Albert Dock and enjoyed great service!

Ate here June 2008 with my wife before a concert, had the best fish and chips I have eaten, sea bass in Tempura Batter, superb.
Recommended to friends and ate there last Sunday, bad mistake
tasted and looked like either findus or birds eye, which is fine except it cost me £11.

I have never been so let down by a restaurant in my entire life.
The promise of this place was spectacular. It promised something different, something innovative and some fresh, modern interior and culinary ideas. This however is exactly the reason we should never judge a book by its cover.
We chose to eat there on a busy Saturday afternoon and we were sat in the dark so the menu was barely visible. It took 15 minutes for somebody to come over and take our drinks order and then another 15 minutes before we got them. Then we ordered our food (really basic food salads, burgers etc) and that took 45 minutes to arrive. The food at best was average. Nothing special at all.
My fiancee ordered a beef salad and it was appalling. The beef was raw!! She was expecting it nice and pink but this was still still mooing in a field somewhere. It was cold, rubbery and smelled like a butchers mincer. However, when we complained we were told by a very grumpy, unfriendly member of staff that they accept no returns and that was how the salad was meant to be. Now call me old fashioned but in another restaurant had the dish not been cooked to my liking they would have taken it back, done something about it and apologised. Not here. We didn't even receive an apology.
Afterwards we were treated like vermin. When the waitress (which I might add, was a different waiter/waitress every time. Loads of staff but what were they doing?!) came to collect our plates she was rude and scowling at us as though we'd ruined her day. I have never felt so disgusted at restaurant staff, ever! When we paid they refused to take it off the bill and never said thank-you or anything and then had the blatant cheek to ask if we would like to leave a tip!!
I would never set foot in here again and I sincerely hope they take a good look at how they treat their customers in the future.
