Circa's $30 Lion King Prix Fixe

The Lion King will rule the jungle at The Orpheum Theatre, just two blocks from Circa, August 23 to September 16 (Tuesdays through Sundays).

Worried about where to park and have dinner before the show? Don't be! Our suggested plan: Valet park at Circa for just $5 at the corner of Gayoso and Main (approaching from Front St.), power-dine on our $30 (plus tax and gratuity) Lion King Prix Fixe (please note: between 5:00 and 6:00 PM and on show nights only), and take a leisurely walk or trolley ride in plenty of time for a 7:30 or 8:00 PM curtain rise.

Circa's special menu includes the following:

What Wines with Chocolate? - On Wednesday, August 29, at 7:00 PM we will hold our second Circa-style wine event, led by our General Manager and Director of Adult Beverages, Randy Caparoso (read his eruditions on www.wineloverspage.com/randysworld). Randy has long conceded that there isn’t much more to life beyond wine and chocolate, but he also has discovered that it's not just Port and Champagne that go with the fruits of the cacao tree. To that end, Chef/Owner John Bragg will collaborate with Blues City Pastry Shop's GM/Chocolatier Carol Whitmore (who also will be on hand to chat with you about chocolate making) to prepare five variations of truffles and European-style hand rolls to match five of the most chocolate-friendly wines you will ever taste:

Avignonesi, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (Toscano, Italy)

La Colombaia, Amarone della Valpolicella (Veneto, Italy)

Earthquake, Zinfandel (Lodi, California)

Ferreira, "Duque de Braganca" 20 Year Old Tawny Port (Portugal)

Sarocco, Moscato d’Asti (Piemonte, Italy)
