| - Was very excited to go here with friends only to be disappointed.
Le Cirque is a beautiful dining room overlooking the Bellagio fountains. Our table was next to the window so we had a great view.
The service is incredible and friendly, but the food, I've had better.
On the menu you will definintely find decadent choices with both appetizers and entrees. They also have an excellent wine list.
After a few questions about the menu we ordered.
Our appetizers arrived. I had the crab salad, which was a lite salad topped with hearts of palm, caviar and spinkled with pomegranate seeds. Nice and fresh tasting. One of the ladies in my party had the fois gras which she said was very good, another - escargot which she said was good. However 2 of us got the lobster and avocado salad, which the lobster was so tough it was hard to cut.
When we mentioned it to our server, two men came back to our table, one remarked it must be our knife. (Really? not the response I expected) Uh.. no it's tough.. Since this is what I ordered for my entree, I asked if I could change my order to the Hamachi, they said no problem.
Our entrees came, two of the ladies did enjoy their sea bass and black bass. However the sea bass presentation could have been better, It was wrapped in potato with a brown sauce.. (brown & white only on a plate, not too appetizing)
Another ordered venison, which she said was good, and another had the lobster risotto which she said was great. The himachi I had was good, it sait on two pieces of avocado which were topped with rock salt, which was a bit much. Again it had heart of palm which was great.
They do say save the best for last and it was with dessert. I didn't order anything but 3 of the women got the chocolate ball, which I tasted. Rich dark chocolate poured over 3 to 4 different decadant chocolates. Beautiful presentation.
Again, the atmosphere nice, the service great, but the food?? For the price, I expected it to be one of the best meals I've ever had. With melt in your mouth food. Unfortunately, I've had better.
