4.5 stars.
After watching the documentary about the building and opening of Le Cirque L.Vegas, I really wanted to go check it out for myself the work of Sirio Maccioni. Just like what I saw on tv, the restaurant was vibrantly and colorfully decorated and I was taking it all in.
We went for dinner at 7:30pm and advised the staff that we had a cirque du soleil show at 10:30pm. They told us delightedly that it will not be a problem, and that they have done the tasting menu for someone in 45 mins before!!
We were seated a little away from the window but still had the view out the window for the Fountain Show. All the wait staff were nice and efficient. We had the tasting menu. Everything tasted as wonderful as they looked, from the oyster on half shell amuse bouche to the sauteed foie gras, to the seafood and the red meat courses. All the portion were appropriate.
They even had a surprise b-day trio dessert plated for me!! Very yummie!! We were done with dinner by 9- 9:30pm. Overall, I have no complains about the food at Le Cirque, they were all well cooked and great tasting. I guess the little minor detail was the service could be worked on, not that they weren't good but I didn't get the down to earth genuine feel...
