Singapore Circus

"We had lunch there today and we loved it! Everything we had was very tasty and good size serves. Our 4 year old son had kids "feed me" meal and he enjoyed his food too. The quality was fantastic and food was great for kids meal. We finished our lunch with kaya choux buns with sour plum and buttered coconut rum ice cream and my son's kids meal includes the kaya choux buns too but with vanilla ice cream. Oh wow, they were so good! Even my son's 'humble' vanilla ice cream was amazing. Not to mention the service was very tentative and all staff were friendly. We'll go back for sure!"

"We had lunch here on 23 April. My friend had booked for the late afternoon session. Venue is bright and colorful with a mish mash of eclectic items all over the dining room. We ended up with the Feed Me menu (really wanted A La Carte for crab but some mix up about us choosing the Feed me when booking) and added the Chilli Crab too. Food wise I was not wowed....the little bites were disappointing. There were no outsanding flavours that made one say yum or wow. The whole Edammame was served with some crunchy bits, the raddish cake was over fried and dry, flavour quite overwhelmed with the sausage. Not a great balance of taste. The steamed bun was average and there was one more which was nothing special as I don't remember it. The Lamb and the fish were ok but overall the big dishes were nothing special. The only dish enjoyed was the Crab for which we paid $150 extra. In the dessert the Kaya choux bun was nice. It would have been better if we ordered A la Carte as that way we would have been able to pick our dishes. Inspite of the food not hitting the mark for me the staff who served us deserve a special mention. Rosie who looked after our table was so lovely. So was Nick at the Bar(the young man with a beard) who assisted us with our drinks. Also overall staff was lovely as they had to wait to let us out as we were the last to leave. Shame, as had high expectations for the food. Ended up being quite an expensive meal for us with no desire to return."

"We celebrated our daughter’s birthday here. The view decor and ambiance were great. Staff were friendly and helpful; we had a 1 year old in our group and staff moved us to a walled off room at our request. I had the seafood laksa which had 3 prawns, no Goolwa pippies and was a little watery, it was disappointing for the price. The pork belly was also disappointing for the price, served on a a bed of plain white rice with a small amount of veggies. The presentation of the food was great. The tiramisu was very small and not overly tasty."

"As soon as I found out that Singapore Circus was having their official launch when we were visiting the McLaren Vale I knew we had to visit for a special anniversary lunch. We had a good time here and the food was quite enjoyable. The Chicken Satay pick up stix were delightful (and this is coming from soneone who tends to skip options with Satay sauces) and the Prawn and Carp dumplings were excellent. The pork belly we ordered was flavourful but could've been more crispy. The Cucumber Worm salad was a fun side dish. I had a Negroni which I enjoyed but would've liked if the cocktail menu had a few more choices. Since it is a new restaurant there are some minor teething issues to be expected, mainly the staffing numbers not being enough to fully support the amount of patrons eating during service. While we were promptly attended to when we first arrived and seated we found it hard to flag down staff in order to get dessert as staff were always speedwalking to the kitchen or resetting tables for the next set of customers. Due to this we ended up having to skip dessert entirely as by the time we were able to flag down a waiter our booking time was nearly up and we had a booking another place straight after anyway. In summary, this was an excellent first time visit and I would be happy to visit the restaurant again for special occasions."
