Editorial Review for Circus – by Lori Fradkin
In Short
The name comes from the drawings of acrobats and tightrope walkers adorning the walls, and the circus theme shines through in the restaurant's festive flavor. There's no clown-car crowdedness, with plenty of room to dine--either on red cushioned benches in the front or in the wine bottle-filled back room. Customers make snapper seviche, braised octopus and chorizo, and churrasco disappear. And, in a trick that would impress Houdini himself, they still have room for flan.

My friend and I both had fish and each were very tender and tasty. The atmosphere is a bit childish, but still fun.

The staff here is wonderful. Very friendly, available, and proficient. While the food is better than average, what makes me want to go back is the welcoming atmosphere and the people.
Pros: staff, atmosphere
Cons: probably are some but I was too relaxed to notice
