prshaker Posted November 20, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Once per cruise, the Pinnacle Grill is transformed into the legendary Le Cirque of New York City. Ranked among the best restaurants in the world by food experts, and famous for its celebrity clientele, Le Cirque brings its French Continental Cuisine to Holland America Line. As per the title does someone have an insight into what is on the menu for this night considering it is $39PP rather than the normal $25PP. Information is greatly appreciated.

pdroth Posted November 20, 2012 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I found it once by doing a search ... sorry I can't find the same link but I just booked it for my cruise in 2 wks. $39 isn't that much for a nice dinner out, esp here in NY at the original Le Cirque. If I can do a tasting on HAL for a fraction of the cost at the restaurant count me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceLoveCruise Posted November 20, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2012 This is from an older thread. Thanks KK. Newest Le Cirque menu on all ships (however many of us are trying to book it for cruises in 2012 and one person called and said that "They are discussing it": New Le Cirque Menu: Appetizers: Lobster Cocktail - poached lobster with haricot vert and citrus Le Trio - caviar, smoked salmon and Pate foie gras Caesar Salad - interpretation of the classical salad Soup: Butternut Squash with Huckleberries - with sage chantilly Chilled Yogurt and Mellon - with shrimps Main Courses: Seared Seabass - leek, red wine fondue -- I understad that Cod has replaced the Seabass -- I was not surprised to see that the Seabass was replaced as it is very expensive and their numbers keep dwindling. Rack of Lamb - goat cheese panisse, artichokes and arugula Chateaubriand - horseradish flan, sweet and sour baby beets Three Cheese Ravioli - fresh basil tomato Chicken Under a Brick - sauteed vegetables ginger honey jus Side Dshes: Seasonal Vegetables Pommes Dauphne Dessert: Creme Brulee Le Cirque Chocolate Souffle - traditional chocolate souffle with vanilla gelato Napoleon with Fresh Berries Assortment of Sorbets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 20, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Since Le Cirque started -- we have done it quite a few time and have always enjoyed it. Bookings are now open for 2013. The price is $39 per person. There is a wine pairing -- $20 extra per person. We tried the wine pairing the first time we did Le Cirque - we were not impressed with it. Barely 3 - 4 ounces of 3 different wines -- first one was a champagne. We now either stay with cocktails or order a bottle of good wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PathfinderEss Posted November 21, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Most everyone gets the Chateaubriand which is excellent. I've tried the Cod, it is outstanding and because I get pasta deprive on shipboard (Canaletto just doesn't do it) I have tried the Three Cheese Ravioli and it is wonderful. I don't think you can go wrong on eating in the Pinnacle on Le Cirque night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted November 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2012 We have also enjoyed it the times we have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We enjoyed Le Cirque on the Oosterdam earlier this year, and would do it again. But we will not be doing the wine pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp556 Posted November 27, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2012 A question: would Le Cirque be included in the "% off dining" benefit extended to 3 & 4-star Mariners? Or is it full price? Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSR Posted November 27, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 27, 2012 From the previous quote from KK: "New Le Cirque Menu: Appetizers: Lobster Cocktail - poached lobster with haricot vert and citrus Le Trio - caviar, smoked salmon and Pate foie gras Caesar Salad - interpretation of the classical salad" I thought I'd read on a recent post that only the Lobster appetizer was offered now, not the other two. Can any recent diners confirm that? I hope they are all still available. Thank you, Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holacanada Posted November 28, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi cp556 ! I'd say YES to your question. I Think «Le Cirque» is 25% for a 3 Stars Mariner... like me ! Holacanada from Quebec city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted November 28, 2012 #12 Share Posted November 28, 2012 A question: would Le Cirque be included in the "% off dining" benefit extended to 3 & 4-star Mariners? Or is it full price? Thanks.... 3 star Mariners get 25% off all speciality restaurants including Le Cirque. 4 star Mariners get 50% off. It is a great deal for the 3 and 4 star Mariners.
