Recently, on a business trip I went to Le Cirque in New York. The staff at the restaurant extremely pleasant! The service was superb. Even though no true issues. The price was what we all anticipated though perhaps a couple of bucks too pricey. My husband and I had a terrific night! So refreshing since there are so many NYC eating places that are bad. Also was to experience a NYC eating place not having excessive attitude. Visit today ahead of the hype becomes insane.

Le Cirque Tips

Try the tasting menu with the wine pairing. A little pricey but an amazing experience.

The Chef's Tasting Menu always perfection! However, you can't go wrong with the Seasonal Selection. For dessert you must try the Grand Marnier Souffle!

Unimpressed. Unfortunately, food was uninspiring, wine prices for the same wine were more expensive than I've seen elsewhere, and the service was merely fine.
