I went to Le Cirque for lunch on my own last summer and just found this scribble while cleaning out some papers. Thought I’d share:

“At Le Cirque–feeling a bit strange, and not only because the only other customers here are two old and balding men. The guy playing the saxophone is supposed to be ‘cool’, I guess, but waaay to cheesy to actually be cool. Nothing particularly creative here so far, even the fancy, imprinted butter seems old. Happy I have my wine though, makes it easier to stomach the three slightly creepy waiters staring at me.”

From what I remember, the food wasn’t all that special either.
