Critical reception

SFGate said "The squabbling among a family of restaurateurs may not amount to a hill of haricots verts in the greater scheme of things. Yet the real appeal of Rossi's film, in the end, isn't so much whether Le Cirque rises or falls but rather the story of a father trying nobly to hold on to his traditions against inevitability. That makes "Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven" appealing to every taste."[5]

Variety wrote "Director Andrew Rossi assembles the story as if building a puzzle in quadrants, suggesting each section is just as important as the next. The story does not turn dramatic until conflicts arise over the new Le Cirque, and even those are hardly life-shattering.[3]
