We had a group of 12, we had a great booth-table-booth combination. We had an excellent, relaxed time. We never felt rushed or crowded. We had plenty of time for conversation & eating. (so many other restaurants are so fast paced) The food was excellent, of course I had the filet that I heard so much about, it was perfect. My mom's filet was a little undercooked, they served her a perfect steak within minutes of her request. My birthday daughters were served ice cream instead of the same plain vanilla cupcake they got at the other restaurants. Bathroom was a little small, but it reminded me of a real fine restaurant back home. Which, while I would prefer an open stall immediately, it didn't bother me. And dessert...oh yes, I'll be eating there again!
Perfect dinner & experience.

After years of wondering how good Le Cellier really was, we decided to try it on our last trip. We always try one or 2 new restaurants each trip. As usual we showed up about 30 minutes early and every other restaurant this has never been an issue. But at Le Cellier we were told to "Go away and come back at our scheduled time" Since I really wanted to try this place I overlooked the woman's rudeness and we left. We came back 20 minutes later at which point the check-in was up at the top of the path to the restaurant. First we were told they could not find the reservation. The young lady checked again and they told us we were seated 20 minutes ago. At that point I told her since we are standing there were probably were never seated and that we had been told to go away 20 minutes earlier. At that point I no longer had any desire to eat at Le Cellier even if they were giving it away. Never have we been treated so poorly at any Disney restaurant.

We have eaten here several times over the past 7 years and I think we ate here for the last time last week. We had lunch not wanting to use 2 TS credit. The food was just alright and the service was very slow. I would never have eaten here if not on the dining plan. The food and service has declined greatly over the years. We will give it a rest for a year and maybe try it again.

My son (19) and I dined here for dinner on 3-17. This restaurant has been a must-do for us since 1994. However, that has now changed. After a dismal experience in Oct.of 2011, I decided, at the request of my son, to give it another try. My son ordered his usual mushroom filet and risotto, which must have been excellent, since he cleaned his plate in less than 10 minutes. It also may have been because the portion was so small. Supposedly an 8oz filet, and about a half cup of risotto for $43.00. I ordered the cod. The 3" x 3" piece of fish was only slightly warm, and virtually inedible. I did manage to eat the two 4" pencil thin carrots, the two 4" pieces of asparagus, and wanted to eat the small artichoke, but it was so leathery I couldn't even cut through it. All of this for $37.00. Our server, was just adequate. Our drinks were never refilled, despite our setting them near the table edge, so they could be seen. However, he did redeem himself a bit when he asked if I disliked my entree. We were then compensated by being given two free deserts. I had the creme brule and my son had the cheesecake. I nearly laughed when I saw what would have been a $10.00 piece of cheesecake! It was a small oval, about the size of an Easter egg, on a thin wafer cookie, with 4 fresh raspberries! When you label a restaurant "signature" you have set the bar pretty high, and people will have certain expectations. LeCellier falls short. This restaurant was better BEFORE it became "signature". I don't believe we will be returning. Such a shame.

We dined here on a rainy Sunday night. We were seated at about our reservation time, and orders quickly taken. (We are Tables in Wonderland, not dining plan.) Not in the mood for beef, I had cod and my wife ordered the pork. The pork was presented in two forms, which we decided was tenderloin. The fish was excellent; the accompanying vegetables were undercooked, though that may have been what the chef intended. Unfortunately we were seated in the screeching baby section, not the fault of the staff. For a steakhouse in the Epcot area, I think we still prefer the Yachtsman.

We ate here for lunch March 7, 2012. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the dining plan, so we went for lunch. My husband had the New York strip with the cream cheese mashed potatoes and I ordered the chicken crepe. My husband loved his meal and wanted to lick his plate clean. The description of the chicken crepe did not do it justice. I expected some sort of creamed chicken mixture wrapped in a crepe which is not what I got. It was a grilled chicken breast sliced on top of a crepe with a small pile of salad on top of that. It was delicious. We got a basket of bread, including the beloved pretzel bread which was really scrumptious. For dessert I ordered the maple creme brulee which was incredible, while my husband ordered the whiskey cake which was surprisingly dry, and no where near as good as the rest of the meal.My only complaint about the entire meal is that we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated even with reservations and ended up with the table right next to the bathroom which I would not recommend unless you enjoy eating beside strangers waiting in the bathroom doorway. We would definitely go back on our next trip!!!

We had always wanted to dine here during previous visits, but were concerned about the steep prices. We decided to do a late lunch after my DD completed the Princess Half Marathon to celebrate. It was overall a good experience.
We waited a short time for our table, many who did not have reservations were turned away. The restaurant was completely full, which made the experience not very relaxing. Our server seemed kind of rushed, but took time to explain the menu.
My DD ordered the salmon and I ordered the prix fixe menu of appetitzer, entree and dessert, which is a very good deal. I had a very nice salad to start, then the burger. The entree was brought to the table before I could finish the salad, which is not acceptable to me, but I understand they are trying to turn tables over quickly. My DD loved the salmon, my burger was huge, very juicy so that I had to eat it with a fork and had a great maple flavor. The bread basket brought to our table was heavenly - we loved the variety of breads. We had to request that our drinks be refilled and then repeat the request, but the server apologized, again she seemed very busy.
For dessert we split the maple creme brulee which was very good.
We enjoyed our meal, glad we went at lunch time as prices were more reasonable. I am not sure that the experience is that much better to be considered a signature dining experience, but we definitely plan to return during our next WDW visit.

We had made lunch reservations here for Mother's Day 2011. They were booked for dinner. This was the main dinning experience we looked forward to for the whole trip and thought it would make for a nice Mother's Day experience. We were seated in the farthest part of the restaurant up against the wall at a table for 2. We had submitted a special dinning request prior to our trip and were told they could accomadate. My mother could not eat excessive spices and had to watch the salt intake. When the chef came to the table we found there were barely any choices for her as they could barely make any alterations and she ordered a grilled chicken salad. They actually brought out a large bowl heaping full of lettuce and a tiny, maybe 2x3 inch piece of chicken in the middle of the lettuce. Nothing else at all in the salad! I ordered the steak, cheese and pepper sandwich. They placed the food on the table and basically ran away and aside from getting one drink refill just as we were finished, we never saw the waitress again during the whole meal. She was very rude when she took the order. The steak and cheese sandwich tasted like they dumped a container of salt on it. I had hoped to order the BBQ chicken sandwich, but they had taken it off the menu and would not make any exceptions... even though they had the exact same toppings being offered on a burger and they had chicken on the menu.
We noticed that there were a few pennies under the table and I highly suspect that was her tip from a previous party.
The menu here is very limited, the service was terrible. The food was the worst of an 11 day trip and actually, the food you eat at any chain steak house is better than they serve here. What a joke that they charge 2 dinning credits for dinner here! It's not even worth 1 dinning credit. We will not be back unless they get a complete makeover and replace their servers, cooks and menus... and they can also cut back about 98% on the salt! What a disappointing Mother's Day!

We had an early lunch ADR in late January. We were on the Deluxe Dining Plan. We’ve eaten here twice before, once for lunch and once for dinner. The first time was great, the second time not so great. This visit was our very best yet. The service and food could not have been better.
We shared the Trio of Appetizers for two – small servings of the Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup, Tomato Stack and Roasted Duck Meatballs – and we loved every bite. In fact, the appetizer and the bread they give you would have made the perfect sized meal. But we ordered entrees anyway.
I had the Mushroom Filet Mignon and my husband had the Le Cellier House Burger. I was a bit worried about my choice since some reviewers have said that the risotto is really salty and I never use salt when I cook. Thankfully, this was not the case, my meal was pure heaven. For dessert my husband had sorbet and I had a few bites of the Maple Crème Brulee, which I liked very much.

We had dinner here on 2/15/12 and were disappointed; this is not our idea of a signature restaurant. DH had the filet which was "ok but not great", I had the ribeye which was overcooked. Our waiter had four tables, three of which stayed mad at him for disappearing for lengthy amounts of time. The fourth table had ordered wine, so he spent a lot of time with them. LeCellier may be okay for lunch, but we won't waste two credits for dinner here again.

I've been to Le Cellier twice. We did have a nice meal both times. But I will say that during our stay in 5/2011, my steak was WAY overcooked. I ordered a Medium and it was completely grey inside that steak. I would hope a steakhouse would be able to cook a steak properly. Will not be back as I would rather go to Cali Grill for my 2 points!

The food here was good as always. My husband and I each had steak and both were cooked exactly how we requested. We ate here for lunch b/c 2 table credits for dinner is crazy. Your portions are pretty much the same for lunch or dinner so try to get in for lunch.

We had an ADR for lunch for 3 people. However,it took us nearly an hour to get seated. When I first booked this lunch, I was leery for that exact reason. I had gone there when lunch and dinner were part of DDP as a (1); but now with dinner being a DDP (2), I wondered how everything would shake out. Happily, the answer is, not too bad. Aside from the wait, everything went smoothly. Once seated, our waitress was on top of things from the get go. Our drinks came out in a timely fashion, and our entrees were superb. The red maple is still as good as I remember it! The filet's were cooked perfectly, as was the strip steak! For dessert, we had a maple creme brulee, chocolate mousse and apple tart. All three were delicious!

Arrived at 2:30 for a 2:45 lunch ressie here a few weeks ago, waited until almost 3:30. Finally got our table and were almost sitting on top of the table next to us, eh. Husband got the cheddar soup and the sausage/polenta app, I got the Le Cellier burger. All of it was perfectly fine, no wows, nothing great and certainly not worth the wait. We have been here a few times in the last few years and I think we will skip it in the future.

The steaks, all three which were enjoyed by our party were AMAZING!!!! The filet and risotto were the best thing I've eaten in years!! The maple creme brulee was okay. The apple dessert and chocolate mousse that my dh and dd ordered weren't anything exceptional. I never found a dessert that I liked ANYWHERE on the entire Disney property. I find that to be odd. Perhaps I just didn't know where to look. Our server was very polite. I would return here and pay the astronomical fee just for that filet and risotto!!
