Le Cirque 
$$$$, French, Bellagio Las Vegas
Fodor's Review:
This sumptuous restaurant, a branch of the New York City landmark, is one of the city's best. The mahogany-lined room is all the more opulent for its size: in a city of mega-everything, Le Cirque seats only 80 under its drooping silk-tent ceiling. Even with a view of the hotel's lake and its mesmerizing fountain show, you'll only have eyes for your plate when your server presents dishes such as the roasted venison loin, braised rabbit in Riesling, or grilled monkfish tournedos. The wine cellar contains about 1,000 premium selections representing every wine-producing region of the world. Although men aren't required to wear a jacket and tie, most do.

A romantic dinner indeed

Having eaten at Le Cirque 2000 in New York City we finally tried the Vegas version. The food is superb, the service outstanding and the atmosphere very romantic. The tasting menu was very filling and the deserts were wonderful. The price is high but so are most other upscale restaurants. The wine list is large and overpriced.A Three Ring Circus of Over Attentive Waitstaff and Mediocre Food

We were looking forward to a great meal. After being seated we had the wine steward, the waiter, another waiter, the captain, the busboy and boygirl approach our table at least 2 times each within 5 minutes. It was absurd. We couldn't tell if they were trying to rush us through or had nothing else to do. The wine list was ridiculously expensive, anything really wonderful on the special price-fixed menu was an upcharge. For a restaurant known for its service, the bus staff continually tried to remove our dishes as soon as we put down our fork, even if the other wasn't finished ( a huge pet peeve of mine and the sign of a poorly trained staff). The meal for 2, with a below average costing bottle of wine, dinner and tip was $360. The food was OK, the service uneven. This was one of the most expensive meals we've ever had and one of the most disappointing.I'd rather eat elephant dung in a tent

I visited Le Cirque last March with a party of 6. Because we were 10 minutes late we were made to eat in the entry way of the restaurant while talbes sat empty in the dining room. The prices are set and the portions were small and just average. I would never recommend it to a friend.
