Le Cirque 151 East 58th Street (58 St/3 Av) New York, NY 10022
Well we attempted to crash Le Cirque for lunch... Check the dress code! Being a native to LA, I'm used to jeans a dress shirt, maybe a light sport coat, and flip flops. Being we were on vacation, I was dressed in khaki shorts a nice shirt and walking shoes (after all, we did walk like 5 blocks), oh and did I mention, we’re on vacation, they were lucky I didn’t stroll in wearing an Aloha shirt, flip flops and shorts. We barely made it through the door before being stopped half way to the podium by the overly dressed and overly pretentious doorman, who doubles for the maître d’ (I think he thought we were going to ask to use the bathroom or maybe hit up the guests for some spare change!), as we announced our reservations, we were quickly cut off with the words, “no shorts, and the dining room requires a jacket…” (in a French accent no less). Is it me or am I being overly pretentious myself in saying that everything just sounds so stuck up when said in a French accent? Too bad French food is so good it makes me yelp the word French food so much when you go to the search bar and type “F” the word French automatically pops in. Honestly, after that unique experience with the doorman, I’d say I’ve eaten at much better restaurants with much better and friendlier service.
FINAL THOUGHTS: We won’t be going back, period.
