From beginninng to end, Le Cirque is not just a restaurant but a dining experience. My meal here ranks as one of my top 5 meals of all time. There were five of us dining together after a long week of working at a conference, and we decided to come here in lieu of taking in a show.
Multiple menus are available here, but we all partook from the prix-fixe menu. That evening's amuse bouche was a perfect way to get things rolling. The appetizer of sauteed foie gras had a perfect flavor and texture, and the rabbit symphony brought things together in a perfect harmony. And what evening would not be complete without dessert -- mascarpone and chestnut mousse with huckleberry compote and white coffee ice cream.
Is it more expensive than a lot of places? Sure. But you get what you pay for here.
