The Circus Restaurant Diner Reviews
"One of the better and always reliable choices in a tourist town littered with chain restaurants. Surprisingly affordable given it’s prestigious location next to the famous Circus. Champions fresh fish and salad dishes."
"Maybe the kitchen is becoming a little complacent but the standards here seem to be slipping a bit. The menus used to change monthly but now they have become 'seasonal' and all a bit alike. Staff still fantastic and the atmosphere is the same as ever, especially if you avoid the tables in the basement."
"Excellent small family run restaurant. Probably my favourite place to eat in Bath "
"We have not been for a few years but the service is still friendly and helpful and the food really good. An excellent piece of John Dory and wonderful looking chips, but they did not have much flavour. No worries, we will be back again!"
