Critic's Pick

I definitely do not recall starters quite so boldly sprouty and frondful at the old Le Cirque 2000. - Gael Greene

The quality of its French-Italian food has improved to the point where it sufficiently complements, and doesn't undercut, the rest of what makes this restaurant such an haute hoot. - Frank Bruni

Magnifique! J'adore Le Cirque! My dinner companion and I, having both dined at the resto when it was previously located on Park Ave, two locations ago, had the opportunity to visit the newest location during NYC's Restaurant Week. We had a VERY enjoyable evening. The service was very warm and welcoming! Also, the service was quite attentive, yet non-intrusive.... just impeccable! My companion started with the salad , interesting with its mixture of greens, vegetables, candied walnuts, fruit, and herbs. She enjoyed it! I had the Veal & Chestnut Pappardelle, which was of perfect portion and quite delicious! For our entrees, she had the Grilled Branzino with Vegetables, which she found a bit salty but light and quite satisfying. I had the roasted chicken breast which had a delightful walnut crust. Just yummy! For dessert, we shared the creme brulee and the chocolate trio (dark chocolate souffle, chocolate hazelnut torte, & white chocolate sorbet) In enjoying wonderful food coupled with a beautiful environment, we had a fantastique dining experience.

I wanted to run from midtown all the way back to Los angeles to smack my mother in the face for not telling me that food could taste so good. I wish I ordered the tasting menu. However.....
