Problem: From start to finish, our meal was impeccable. I generally prefer to write a longer review with details of what we ordered, but due to time constraints on my schedule let's just suffice it to say that my wife and I were in Vegas recently for three nights (after having been there several months ago for a few nights then too), and Le Cirque provided us the best dining experience, hands down, over all the other restaurants that we dined at. If you have the opportunity to check them out and you enjoy fine dining cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Problem: This place is a typical example of Vegas extravagance on the Strip. I opted for the Kobe "American" New York steak cut which is priced at over $50. Not sure how many ounces it ended up being but for not being the Japanese version, it was a very tender New York cut. Full of flavor, well seasoned, and a healthy side of varied mushrooms and green beans. You'll have to get your carbs from their various specialty sushi rolls or nigiri options. Basic dessert menu, actually decided to skip it since it didn't stand out and the pricey entree already made the dinner worthwhile. Great ambiance and if you have the option, opt for the lounge seating instead of the normal tables. 5 stars for the awesomely flavored food and comfortable interior. Of course I could nit pick about the lackluster dessert options or opine about the lack of real Japanese Kobe beef, but the sushi, entree, and appetizer menu is varied enough to include something for everyone.

Problem: The interior really makes you forget you're at The Orleans (a place that I really like, but let's be honest, it's a bit...declasse). Quiet and peaceful, subdued lighting, attentive service...you can feel fancy at not-fancy prices. The cuts of meat are delicious and huge. The NY strip was saddle-sized and cut like butter (which it was doubtless cooked in--yay!). I had the rack of lamb--$29 for four ribs. Srsly? I can barely buy it at the butcher for that. Perfectly cooked, although I could have skipped the brown gravy that was drizzled over it. Unless you are bottomless, skip the sides. We ordered a baked potato to share and the salt-crusted football that came out was largely ignored (which was a shame, because it was a beauty--we just didn't want to waste time with starch when there was meat to eat!).

Problem: I would like to like this place as it is close to home, but Wow what a disappointment. the green chile stew is good enough but I echo a previous reviewer as to why they charge extra for a tortilla when what is served is not enough for the stew. H ave you ever been charged extra For a extra slice of bread in any other restaurant anywhere? My Wife was totally unimpressed with her yellowtail snapper and was about to throw something at the rude waiter the third time he called her "Darlin". Another "tacky" touch was the waiter scooping up our signed restaurant receipts before we left the table. By the way, they have been open for a month or so and already raised their prices on many items! Good idea, bad execution.
