Gilt CityOctober 26, 2010At Sirio Maccioni’s iconic French outpost, meals are prepared with style and panache. Just think: seared diver scallops atop shiitake foie gras…

Steve KJanuary 6, 2013The tuna tartare is fantastic, don't hesitate... Just pull the trigger, you won't regret it...
Can't believe the orange pannacotta is gone, but the other desserts are (almost) as good. Try the regular pannacotta or the floating islands.
christina northrupJuly 28, 2012Beautiful dinner at le cirque on the engagement night holla at the cliquout rose champagne.
BravoJanuary 28, 2010I had a wonderful ladies baby shower there recently. The setting is perfect, and I love that it is family owned. -Luann De Lesseps, Real Housewives of New York City

Yesbelt FernandezAugust 22, 2011Great restaurant week choice. Food is delicious! Wine is pricy at $18 and up per glass.
Andrew StringfellowJuly 27, 2016Service intense & hawkish, a real problem when staff keep interjecting into conversations to serve their own efficiencies. Ask for 'plain' water (free) or pay $10 per bottle. Food overpriced. Avoid.
- Oh, and they have a 24$ lunch special as well. As long as you're not in a rush as the service is a bit slow.
lauren coxApril 22, 2011Attended the Water for Elephants after party here, loved it! Sneak upstairs - it's less crowded!
Rob FontJanuary 22, 2013Very disappointing! Not creative AT ALL. Food was "fine", but I expected "exceptional". Though the creme brulee was great.
SparkieFebruary 16, 2014Two thumbs down, over priced for the food and service. Do not add peppercorn to the steak, it will leave you with reflux for days.
michael nerenburgAugust 1, 2011off the list then go. if you want a good meal for alot of money there hundreds of other places
Avoid the bar when "JK" is bartending unless you like a padded check!
Geoff WebberDecember 8, 2012Get the lobster risotto and get out. At these prices, service and food need major improvement. Disappointing.

The more casual bistro next door treats diners to the same hallmark service, vibrant atmosphere and flavorful cuisine, in a more convivial setting. Adam D. Tihany designed the sleek and cozy confines, anchored by colorful carpeting and other plush details.
