The name is legendary. The experience unforgettable. Immerse yourself in the brilliant colors of this lakeside destination and prepare for a meal as bold and transcendent as your surroundings. Le Cirque's opulent dining room, designed by Adam D. Tihany, exudes celebration, setting the stage for an inimitable French menu that has drawn raves and accolades—including a perennial AAA Five Diamond Award rating and Forbes Travel Guide 5 Star Rating —since the restaurant’s creation by Sirio Maccioni . A coveted wine list and attentive service complete an evening at Le Cirque—one that will remain in your memory for years to come.

One of the most wonderful dining experiences ever! The food is exceptional and the service is legendary. Noteworthy mention and gratefulness to Martin Head Waiter, Frederick Sommelier, and their colleagues Javier, Tom and several others who have worked together for over 27 years at Le Cirque...their impeccable tenure and attention to detail collectively, truly makes them the key difference makers alongside the Chef and professionals in the kitchen!

About the restaurant

Inspired by a photo of Wolfgang Puck and his mother, this new restaurant showcases Italian cuisine and finds its soul through a letter of love written to his mother. Where her legacy lives on, where a passion for food fuels the desire to experiment, create, and entertain, and where pure artistry pulls tradition and innovation into our hearts and souls. It is the place where the essence of Italy meets the innovative spirit of Wolfgang Puck.
