Felix's Guide's review of Le Cercle

Update 9/9/2010
Went for dinner – food as good as ever but the service has taken a downtown. We were asked if we wanted a drink before we had even sat down and then the drinks took 20 mins to arrive. Empty glass were left on our table till nearly the end of the meal. The sommelier however could not be faulted.

A great basement restaurant that serves a grazing menu like Maze. I think this is a fabulous way to eat – giving you about 4 to 5 dishes to taste rather than just 3 and leaves you feeling you have had just the right amount. The basement works well in the evenings but less so for Summer lunches. Does a very good value set lunch menu. An excellent private room in a balcony looking over the main restaurant. Took a party there recently and had their set menu which worked very well as no one had to choose but the Sommelier was too freely opening bottles for the table which escalated the bill unnessaryly – so do not leave it up to him.
