10 days...4 people...lots of food and pics!

[belleatheart]

Ok so we got back from the world a few weeks ago and have been crazy busy and unable to start. We were on the DDP, we truly love it! So here we go

Me- 20 and loves her food. Not huge on Fish but Mahi Mahi and Salmon Also one of my favorite parts of the trip is to plan where we are going to eat. I know...crazy!

DMom- likes pretty much anything and open to just about anything, and generally easy to please with food. I have a soy and also lactose intolerance so some dishes are a bit modified due to that.

DDad- Loves scallops, Shrimp, meat, not crazy about Dessert, I know he is crazy about that one. He is also very Italian and makes his own sauces so well you will see later on with one experience...hehe

DSis- 15 and picky! Though she is starting to be more open to food options still love good ole faithfuls of steak and chicken. Dislikes seafood and fish with a passion. Also careful about the spices due to severe heartburn so some plates will appear a bit different.

The restaurants we went to are:
Le Cellier
Yak and Yeti
Boma
1900 Park Fare
Chef's De France
Restaurant Marrakesh
Cape May Clam Bake
Narcoosee's
Mama Melrose

I will include Quick Services as we go, can not remember them all off the top of my head currently...

Day 1:

So we leave the wonderful world of CO only to get to more of a wonderful world of DISNEY! As we are flying across the country I am counting down to when we get on Disney Property and the world of Magic! We stayed at BW so our first meal was in Epcot which is one of favorite parks and places to eat because of the options out there. We get all checked in and out the door we go.....

First meal is at Le Cellier, we had some issues at first with our ressie, they seemed to have spelled the name wrong, dunno how you do that but it is fine, regardless TAKE YOUR RESSIE CONFIRMATION #, this is important!!!!!! That is how we figured out that they spelled the name wrong. So moving on, we had to wait about 15 min. for the reservation which was upsetting to Dsis because she was about ready to eat an appendage. But whats WDW without some sort of wait right? So we get seated....

First off we were basically in the aisle, seems like they are trying to smoosh more tables in Le Cellier every time we go! Oh well we are seated and getting to eat soon! I had been looking forward to the Mushroom Filet since the last time we went 2 years earlier...oh yea and that amazing pretzel bread!

Our waitress comes over and goes through her spiel of everything about Canada...i kind of tuned out oops! I was too focused on that pretzel bread and filet. She takes our drinks I get this raspberry lemonade wway way way sweet, pretty much tooo sweet, watered it down later, Dsis-same, Ddad- water and Raspberry Chocolate Shake...he loves milkshakes go figure, but not desserts! DMom-Chocolate Shake.

Ok so Beware!!! of a waitress named Dawn she is not that great. Our drinks AND Bread!! took about 15 min to get to us and then the shakes took another 5! Seriously this is not Ok, I mean I am ok with waiting for a few min, I am a waitress and now and then it gets busy and sometimes you get busy, but I mean seriously that long! The shakes came by with another person, who was probably the runner for that station so understandable but soda and water taking that long???. Ok so that moves on and we haven't seen Dawn in forever, I am out of lemonade and my mom out of soda and we are out of BREAD! Finally she is passing us and we flag her down and say we need more drinks and bread she kind of seems bothered but whatever. Our food gets to us and all is well again

me and DM get the Mushroom Filet

Dsis and Ddad get the New York Strip Steak

The Mushroom Filet was to Die For!! It was so tender you could have cut it with a fork, I was , so wasn't my mom. We were sooooo pleased and found this to be super filling, perfect portion sizes for us! The Risotto was not too mushy and had the perfect flavoring! I want to get back on plane right now and go eat the Mushroom Filet.

The New Strip Steak was really tasty as well. Tried a piece a Ddad and really loved it. The steak was huge, he wishes he got more potatoes though. He is a carb and starch man. Dsis enjoyed hers as well, she said it was too big for her to finish so Ddad finished it off, he finishes off anything we can't. In the pic above he already started to dig in before I could get a pic, you can also see his Raspberry Shake, though we all felt it was meh, it was vanilla ice cream with what tasted like hersheys chocolate and raspberry syrup, something you can easily make at home with a blender. Ok back to the steak. The potatoes had amazing spices on them that just made them yummy. Overall we were all very pleased with our meals.

Now desserts we come,

Me, DM, and Dsis got the Maple Creme Brulee- let me tell you heaven, It was carmelized perfectly on top so the top layer was warm but then the custard part underneath was still chilled. It was a creamy heaven. We ate it right when it hit the table, we forgot to get the pic...but my dad got his to go because of not being a dessert fan right after dinner and we did get a pic of New York Style Cheesecake

When the bill came it was around $180, no surprise we are on DDP so no big. Now one thing we did notice, didn't bother us, is that there are suggested Tip amounts on the bottom. Now we felt that Dawn did not earn a full 18 or 20 percent which is what is given on the bottom. She only checked on us once during the meal and never during dessert except to bring the check. We left her 15 percent instead which we thought was generous considering, and still a really good tip considering our total for 4 people. So there is Day 1 down and conquered tune in for Day 2 which will be up soon!

Their are not enough words to describe the Mushroom Filet, I know alot of people are questioning Le Cellier with the menu changes but I think I enjoyed the filet more this time than I did last time I had it.

Thanks for the report and picture!!! I love love love the mushroom filet at Lecellier! My DH loved the filet with the BBQ sauce but since that's off the menu now, not too sure what he'll get. He HATES mushrooms but maybe they can do it without! Can't wait to hear how the rest of your meals were!
