Michelin Star #40\n\nJust because it's expensive doesn't mean it's good. \n\nIt's really not fair to Le Cirque that this was our dinner the night after a magical time at Guy Savoy (GS), but that's how the cookie crumbled. \n\nThe gaudy interior took me back to Jo\u00ebl Robuchon and made me long for the clean and modern space of GS:  http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#Pz6MCvMoqe20cjiEN61ICA\n\nWe elected the full Degustation Menu and each got different things to maximize the number of dished to try. At $135pp plus $88 to share a wine pairing, Le Cirque really sticks it to you, which I'm fine with if the food is great. \n\nIn short, we were not impressed by much and some of the food was just bad. The service was stuffy, borderline arrogant at times, and without stealth. Pretty much the opposite of GS. \n\nIt wasn't all bad though, the poached egg with caviar ($15 extra) was very nice. The veggies were cooked right and the paprika crostini was a delight;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#HSFKfMYBwPd6Ti0H4rkfjA\n\nThe uni and yuzu gelee panna cotta was also a very nice and refreshing treat. But uni and caviar on anything is great;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#7dEMzWlg6QWbfEmIdcXxCw\n\nSadly, the foie was overcooked and tasted like iron;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#oowkr4-kGh57Y4nr4ZGF2w\n\nThe langoustine was bland, but I did love the plate it came on;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#ut_8e57Qx0CenHudGsRTJQ\n\nThe john dory was inexcusably bland and devoid of flavor. I couldn't believe how sub-par this dish was;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#dVF_SYM3fhMsoCVWu4o9gA\n\nThe potato wrapped bass was another let down, just lacking any seasoning and of course a place like this doesn't have salt and pepper on the table;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#YRbileTLomHKFQSDkN4F_A\n\nThe $65 supplement for the A4 wagyu was a complete waste. The meat had little marbeling left and was pretty chewy throughout. This was nothing like the beef you'd get in Japan;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#9zwWrrYAV2cQ0ZMv7HHA2Q\n\nThe duck was the worst offender of the night, with un-rendered fat, chewy skin, and meat so raw it couldn't be cut with their dull knives, we ate two pieces and left the rest;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#nL9yA-rNByjeeK6Z64c7Hg\n\nDessert however was great, the souffl\u00e9 was amazing;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#YnVOCWLwVeNzAsTT_p71KQ\n\nAnd the sugar sphere thingy was beautiful and contained a delicious center;\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/le-cirque-las-vegas?select=viQr698x1TTBGTeandFdcQ#uTC99JJzT08_T21tppclug\n\nOverall it was a big letdown and not worth the effort to give a more detailed breakdown of each dish.
