Le Cirque

We had an amazing experience at Le Cirque. We stuck with just the 3 course menu (mostly to avoid overeating while in vegas): every course was absolutely stellar, and we didn't leave hungry. It's hard to pick a standout they were all that good. If I had to find a critique: the presentation of the rabbit was a bit basic, but the complexity and flavors absolutely delighted. I think the homeliness was actually intentional, so this is more an observation than critique. Tbh, I've had more complaints about 3 michelin star meals. As a foodie, I rarely comment on service... but never have I been treated with such friendliness and consideration, even in this class of a meal. Thank you to Martin and the team for making the night one of a kind. We absolutely will be back in the future, and pray the restaurant will stick around far into the future for all our enjoyments to come.

Splendid experience from start to finish. And yes, the food and the ambiance with comfortable chairs and and view through the windows onto the lighted water games were fabulous but really the kudos go to the staff! Everyone was knowledgeable, polite, humorous and hence fun to interact with. What got our admiration though was that they silently removed our wine glasses because they had observed that we had ordered a mocktail rather than cocktail while waiting for the table. And the 4-course menu: spotless, a dream. From the bread, the oysters, the lobster salad, risotto, superb escargots, loup de mer, rabbit to the wonderful desserts: paradise!

Phenomenal Service and Food! We celebrated our 1st anniversary dinner at Le Cique. We got an amazing seat to dine overlooking the fountains. This is a great team! Martin mainly was our server and he was amazing. But, everyone from Chris who greeted us at the door to Tim, Jesus, Jardin etc. all were super attentive throughout the dinner. They also gave us 3 different very cute chocolate boxes and an anniversary dessert and packed it for us. Bellagio has a top shelf in the room refrigerator where we saved all thr chocolates and enjoyed it during the rest of our trip. Must visit for excellent food and world class service. Thank you to the Le Cirque team for a classy and memorable evening! Le Cirque is lucky to have such employees committed to excellence in what they do!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Le Cirque, and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The tasting menu was a true culinary journey—each dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavors. Every item was thoughtfully crafted, making it hard to pick a favorite. The service was top-notch, with an attentive and knowledgeable staff that made the evening even more enjoyable. A special touch that truly stood out was their thoughtful gesture for my birthday. They surprised me with a handwritten birthday card and an extra dessert, which made the celebration feel even more special. If you're looking for an outstanding French dining experience with impeccable service and attention to detail, Le Cirque is a must-visit. I can't wait to return!

Original post from a few years ago. I just realized that I never left a review for the delicious Alba White Truffle dinner that we had on Thanksgiving. My wife and I have been eating at Le Cirque since they opened and we've never been disappointed with a meal or service! The food and service is second to none. Our waiter Martin, Fredrick the Sommelier, are the best!! Gene, the bartender who we've known for awhile is excellent. We've also got to meet and talk to Sirio a couple of times, and years ago, we ate at Le Cirque in New York when it was still open. Latest post from October 11, 2024. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Le Cirque, and it was an amazing experience as always. From the minute you enter the restaurant, you're treated really special. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful and romantic! We were fortunate to have a window table with a view of the Bellagio Fountains.  Martin and Fredrick, who we've met in the past, are outstanding! Christopher and the entire staff are excellent as well. I also can't  forget Gene, who is probably the best bartender in Vegas. We were able to order Alba White Truffles over risotto which was delicious. If you've never eaten Alba White Truffles, you should try them and you won't be disappointed. They're only available a couple of months through sometime in December, I think. We also had a delicious beet salad, Brittany Loup De Mer, and some really good desserts, I highly recommend Le Cirque for a special occasion or anytime you want a great fine dining experience.

Top notch service, exquisite food with beautiful, delicious layers of flavors in every single dish. Great atmosphere overall. Everything is so masterfully created not to take away from your tasting experience, because after all, the food is the star in this restaurant. Three different menus, 8 course tasting menu, 4 course (vegetarian and meat version), and 3 course shorter version. Delicious cocktails, fantastic wine list. I am a customer for life. Thank you Le Cirque for making our Anniversary dinner memorable.

We enjoyed Valentine’s Day with my husband at this beautiful restaurant. It was only one 4 course menu option $ 345 per person. Well, it is what it is, although I’d prefer to try for these money their 8 course meal. Anyway, I will come back to try their regular menu. The food was outstanding, the service is classy amazing. I also love the atmosphere, amazing attention to details - dishes, glasses, beautiful! Our check was almost a grand with the tips. We also had a bottle of sparkling, non alcoholic cocktail and espresso martini. Experience is great, but very pricey. If u want experience a nice experience with Michelin restaurant for more reasonable price - go to Picasso, it’s in Bellagio. Otherwise, I’m happy with our choice for Valentine’s Day.

Absolute best culinary experience I've ever had. Everything was top level from the service to the food to the atmosphere. The staff was very attentive but not intrusive. They were great at suggestions without being pushy as well. The food was tremendous! This was very much it of my comfort zone as, to be honest, many of the dishes I had never heard of. But we enjoyed them all and are every bite. A truly enjoyable experience and if I'm ever up for a very expensive but very impressive meal again, I will try Le Cirque again!

The service and ambiance at Le Cirque in the Bellagio are great — elegant, attentive, and exactly what you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant. However, the food simply doesn’t justify the price point. It feels like they’re still charging as if they were a Michelin-star restaurant, but that era has long passed. Spending around $700 for dinner for two without a single breathtaking or truly memorable dish says it all. Unfortunately, at these prices, it’s just not worth it.

We were expecting a lot from history and old reputation. Ambiance excellent. Wait staff overly attentive but lacked detailed service. Like not explaining the menu ,which was very difficult to understand , not listing accompaniments to the very limited selections. Not showing on the menu what the ingredients were. The supposedly ultra gourmet meal was a series of poorly paired dishes with fancy ingredients that over powered the dishes. For the week we were in Vegas we ate amazing creative dishes that left lasting memories in all 5 star restaurants all over town. Le Cirque really disappointed and was by far the most expensive with the worst food.

Overall disappointing. Not worth almost 600 dollars with tip for one person by any stretch of the imagination. I did the four course dinner with the "signature" rabbit. The good: over the top service and staff. The foie gras course with strawberries was very good. The wine pairings were very good, especially the one for the oysters. Often wine pairings are just good wines, these actually complemented the courses well. The okay: The chocolate ball with ice cream and the oysters are both very pedestrian at this price point. The oysters were very mild and mostly clean, with good provided sauces. The chocolate ball wasn't anything memorable. The bad: the rabbit was completely underwhelming. Compare what I was served to what is even in the book they gave me to read at the end of the meal, they didnt even meet their own standards. It could have been a chicken pot pie from the grocery store and both looked and tasted similar. My second major complaint here is again relative to the price point, I had asked the sommelier for a wheated bourbon to start when I was seated and received a wheat whiskey. I understand that the difference here sounds minor but it is a major change and I had severe heartburn from the relatively acidic and dry old fashioned that I received instead of getting something like weller. Very surprising and below the bar for a place that charges as much as they do. If it was a lesser place I would have just ordered makers mark and not trusted them. Stuffy interior, small dark room with windows that may have a view of the fountains or strip, was far from these. Won't be back, in vegas terms this is joel robuchon prices for a service far below even l'atelier.

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. My wife and I regularly dine at high-end restaurants and are happy to pay for great food and service. Unfortunately, our New Year’s Eve dinner at Le Cirque fell far short — especially for the high price point. The restaurant did not offer the 4-course menu advertised on its website, instead serving a fixed NYE menu that wasn’t disclosed ahead of time. Before being seated, we were asked to wait at the bar and were ignored for ~20 minutes without being offered a drink, until someone finally noticed. The food was underwhelming throughout. The smoked salmon and caviar was very basic, the chicken risotto was overcooked and had to be sent back, and the replacement was no better. The steak was fine, and dessert was forgettable — not what you expect from Le Cirque. To make matters worse, my wife had an allergic reaction to the bleach used in the tablecloths, forcing us to move to the bar near the end of the meal. This was stressful, bizarre, and something that has never happened to us before at any restaurant. While the hostess eventually apologized, it came after we had already paid. No proactive recovery, no meaningful acknowledgment, no attempt to make things right. For the price and reputation, this experience was unacceptable. We left feeling disappointed and misled, and would not return — especially for a special occasion.

I was four minutes late to my reservation (got turned around on game room floor) and their staff called me and repeatedly encouraged me to cancel my reservation on the phone, despite my explaining I’m 30 seconds from the entrance. Arriving 5 minutes after my reservation time, they again encouraged me to cancel, then said they’d have to check with the chef to see if they could still serve me. I left hungry after keeping my stomach empty for a big meal there. I couldn’t order food from people who don’t want to serve me. After receiving great service at the Mayfair, I swung back by and quietly and politely tried to tell a separate hostess that I was disappointed that I couldn’t be seated and it’s not appropriate to take reservations then encourage people to cancel for being 5 minutes late. This second hostess quickly started to speak over me, saying they’d overheard the call and the call and thought I wanted to cancel (despite saying otherwise in person and on the phone). I was being quiet with my feedback and this second hostess, I felt, was trying to make me look bad by speaking over me and misrepresenting the situation. She spoke in guests’ earshot, not me. It was more uncomfortable than having to leave the first time for feeling unwelcome. I was a 1 top table who was gonna order the prefixed menu. I was the last reservation time available, so there was no backlog, and their dining area still had multiple tables finishing their meals. I’m sure there is a talented chef at Le Cirque who makes great food for people when they feel like it, if guests can get past the service staff. Would recommend any other restaurant in the Cosmo or Bellagio over Le Cirque.
