Le Cirque
$$$$, French, Midtown East
Fodor's Review:
Impresario-owner Sirio Maccione still presides over a dining room filled nightly with a who's who of political, business, and society circles -- regulars who've table-hopped from Le Cirque's first incarnation to its latest, in a glass-enclosed aerie on the ground floor of the new Bloomberg headquarters. Billowing silk, tall gauzy shades, and porcelain monkeys in a display case pillar create a playful big-top effect. The menu strikes a balance between the creative and classic. Dover sole, filleted table-side, gives way to more avant-garde preparations like a duo of seared foie gras and sushi-grade tuna. Desserts, too, have a split personality, with the menu divided into the "classic" and "new." The foot-tall napoleon that seems to arrive at every second table is an old favorite, but newer creations like the rich peanut butter "candy bar" also satisfies high-society sweet tooths.
