What a wonderful dining experience we had at Le Cirque.  You are taken care of the moment you walk in the door.  The most attentive staff, delicious food, elegant and upscale decor.  My husband and I were quite impressed and would definitely go back for another go at some point in the future.\n\nThe meal started off with this delicious amuse bouche - a chilled corn chowder.  I didn't think I'd want to eat a cold soup, but this was divine.  First course was my absolute favorite.  Chose the seasonal risotto, which currently it was topped with shaved white truffle.  HEAVENLY.  The risotto was perfectly creamy, the truffle decadent and rich.  I wanted to eat it all, but knew I had more food coming and most definitely didn't want to get too full too fast.  Sadly I had to give them a 2/3 empty bowl back, and my heart literally broke.\n\nMy husband loooooooves foie gras, so I knew before he opened his mouth he was about to order the seared foie gras.  All he kept saying throughout the course was this was how foie gras was supposed to taste.  I'm pretty sure that meant he approved.\n\nSecond course was the Maine Lobster.  This came in the form of lobster tail, lobster cake and a couple of lobster claws.  Accompanied by a mushroom and squash side.  I didn't eat much of the side - not because it wasn't good but because it didn't excite me like the lobster did.  You know, saving room and all that.  The lobster cake was like a crab cake and was very savory.  I did like the tail, but I wasn't over the moon with it like I was the risotto.  But let's face it: how hard is it to top a 5-star risotto?  Very.\n\nHubby got the wagyu beef with bone marrow fondant.  We didn't talk much during this course.  He cleaned his plate.  That's enough evidence for me.\n\nLast course was the roasted pineapple/white chocolate mousse/mango sorbet thing.  It was the perfect ending.  Not too rich - the tart sweetness of the pineapple balanced out the creamy mousse.  An excellent blend of flavors.  My husband had the chocolate Grand Marnier souffle, which he thought was spectacular.\n\nSurprisingly, I didn't make myself miserable with food and walked away regretful that someone in the kitchen was in possession of the rest of my risotto.  Ah well.  It was definitely a meal to remember, that's for sure.
