    Summary
    A branch of the legendary New York French eatery comes to Las Vegas but loses some of what made it special during the trip.
    Menu
    You kind of have to be a fan of French food to truly enjoy this place, and we know that immediately turns a lot of people off, but if you're willing to take a chance you will probably be surprised with how much you wind up enjoying it. There are a lot of fine cuts of meat, all with creamy French sauces and a lot of foie gras, plus some absolutely delicious duck. The flavors are dramatic and they manage to avoid the bulk of the trappings that many chi-chi French restaurants fall into. Having said that, there are many French restaurants in this town that do it better (L'Atelier and Comme Ça to name two).
    Atmosphere
    Le Cirque as in Circus, so the room is done up as a brightly colored big top. It's a strange choice for a fine French restaurant.
    Service
    Almost perfect.
    Price
    It's expensive of course - expect to pay at least $100 or more per person when you're all done.
    What Else Do I Need To Know?
    You gotta get gussied up to come here - no shorts or athletic wear.
