The restaurant was really nice inside and the food was delicious. We couldn't even do dessert. The waitress was very nice so we upped her 18% tip.

We have eaten here before on several occasions and the food, service was very good. This is the first time we have had to use two dining tickets and the food went down with the additional cost. The steak was somewhat tough, my husbands was not cooked the way he wanted it, the bowl of soup my son ordered was a cup. This place is not what it used to be. The waitress was not friendly, very slow to come to our table, we were cramped along side the wall. just a poor, poor experience. We do not plan to go there anymore. I think that they are now charging two tickets has gone to their head while their food went downhill.
Pros:
pretzel breadCons:

This was a special night we got dressed appropriately according to the dress code posted. However, we were disappointed because people were there that just came from the park, flip flops, t shirts, etc.
We were told we couldn't have bread until we ordered our dinner.
Chef de France is so much better and the food is superior and for only 1 dining plan point.
Pros:
Food was very goodCons:

We had visited this restaurant a couple of years ago, and had a decent experience. Therefore, we assumed that it would be nice to take my parents for dinner. However, this was a complete waste. We were seated at a far back table and pretty much neglected. Our server acted like she didn't want to be there and we had to flag her down to get a water refill. My steak was overcooked, and our food was overall lack luster. We actually skipped dessert just so we could get out of there. The only plus was that we could walk right out of the restaurant to a good location to view Illuminations. I will not be going back to this restaurant. Very disappointed.
Pros:
Convenient location for Illuminations after dinnerCons:

For years, I have passed up Le Cellier in favor of other Disney restaurants. Being from Chicago, I didn't see the point of going to Epcot just to eat steak for dinner when it is so readily available at home. However, after lingering at the Canada booth at the Food & Wine Festival year after year and loving our samples there, I finally decided to make a reservation for my recent "girls only" vacation. I am so glad I did, and fully intend on making another reservation for my husband and I this fall!
The Cheddar Cheese Soup is simply delicious. It's creamy, tangy, and subtly smokey. If I could have, I would have brought a gallon home with me.
My entree, the Mushroom Fillet Mignon with Risotto, was perfectly cooked to medium and served with a rich truffle butter sauce. It was super decadent and wonderful. The risotto was also very well done - the rice had just the right texture and was a great complement to the butter and mushroom sauce.
Because I heard so much about them, I couldn't resist ordering the Poutine Fries. Wow. Just wow. Several cheeses are melted in with the fries, a blend (I'm guessing here) of a sharp cheddar and possibly a gorgonzola. Then there's the red wine reduction that is poured on top. It's a rich and strongly flavored sauce that is almost gravy-like, and it tempers the intense cheese flavor perfectly. I can see how this dish might be overwhelming, especially if you're not a fan of strong cheeses, but I will go back to it again and again because I loved how decadent it was.
Sadly, dessert was just not an option after such a lavish meal. I hope to try it on my next visit.
Service at the restaurant was good, but not exceptional. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and wines and she served us promptly, but did not engage us in any other way. The tables in the whole restaurant are also very close to each other, so privacy is limited here.
Overall, however, Le Cellier provided us girls a great meal, and I'm only sorry I waited so long to give it a try.

Great menu and foodCons:

Always go here when @ Epcot - since they made it 2 credits will not go here - not worth 2 credits - plenty of comparable restaurants with good steaks elsewhere on property that are only 1 credit (Turf Club @ Saratoga comes to mind)

good foodCons:

So, this was our annual visit to LeCellier for our anniversary. Al usual, the highlights were the pretzel bread, the filet mignon and my wife's martini sampler. The waitress also had some friendly fun facts about the area of Canada that she was from and where we were sitting.
On the negative, the wine sampler I ordered seemed to have less wine in the glasses than I remembered. I also told the reservationist that we were celebrating our 19trh anniversary. It sounded like she added it to the notes section. Then, when I checked in at the counter, I told the girl there and she just congratulated me. Meanwhile, right on the check-in desk was a stamp that said "celebrating" that they must use to stamp the paper they give the waitress. A few years ago, they gave us complimentary champagne and dessert becayse it was our anniversary. It's the small things that count, that is what makes Disney....DISNEY! 😉
Next time, I may be tempted to give another restaurant a chance. But the food here is great. 🙂

To write this review hurts, because for years upon years Le Cellier was our number one restaurant. For every trip (usually we visit twice a year) we would have 3 reservations. The vacation always began with Le Cellier. The first reservation on this recent trip was so bad, I cancelled the last two. I ordered the Fillet medium well and the waitress took it back 3 times till I finally said it was fine (it wasn't, it was still medium rare, she rarely came to our table so I gave up). It was obvious they embellished the Fillet to make it appear more gourmet, but whatever they did changed the taste. Finally after an hour and half of what became ridiculous, I received my bill. 64 dollars for me alone. Thats no appetizer or dessert. Thats a Fillet, Niagra Refresher, and use of my tables in wonderland card. They charged me full price for everything. The service here has declined and I'm so disappointed in the quality of food and price.
So so sad.

Le Cellier is one of my favorite restaurants on property. I was thrilled to get a reservation for just my hubby and me for lunch while he was in Florida for a business conference. I was able to get the reservation only a month or so in advance, so I thought that was a score!
We checked in, and had a little bit of a wait until our table was ready. I thought that it was nice because the people around us were all at different places in their meals, so it felt that they weren't sitting right next to us for the whole time. We ended up getting a table that was part booth on the back, and then a chair on the other side. I always like getting a partial booth. It just feels more intimate.
Our server was great. She was a wealth of knowledge, and she was just fun to chat with. The couple next to us was nice too. They were just trying to decide on dessert when we were seated, and I recommended the Maple Crème Brule.
The pretzel bread was delicious as always, but the only thing that disappointed me a little was the fact that they no longer serve those delicious cream cheese mashed potatoes. They were to die for. I wanted the filet without the mushrooms which was no problem. I didn't want the risotto, so our server recommended this layered potato thing, but I didn't care for it at all. I probably didn't need those potatoes anyway, I needed to save room for that Crème Brule.
Overall, it was a great meal!

We arrived a few minutes before our reserved time, and were seated within minutes. The food was excellent! We chose to pay rather than use 2 Disney food credits. The filet was melt in your mouth! Love the accompanying risotto. DD got the sirloin, and loved it, but said it was too much food for her. DH had the swordfish and said it was very good, though he liked the swordfish at the Flying Fish better. The chocolate moose was cute and very good, as was the creme brule. We will be back!
