Come in and let everyone know how awful LeCellier is!

[FormrCastMbr]

That pretzel bread is just awful dipped in the mussell sauce full of bacon & potatoes!

I have to agree with my friend...she told me how horrible it was so I had to see for myself...

My DD - 6 at the time - ordered the Chocolate Moose for dessert.
Being the cosmopolitan Dad that I am, I explained to her gently that it wasn't going to be a chocolate "moose" like a chocolate bunny, or some other animal. I eloquently explained to her how one makes a mousse.
It had been a very long day, and she was tired, but her unblinking gaze allowed me to think that I was making soo much sense, and was completely understood.
Well, I was quite humbled when the excellent server brought out the chocolate moose, complete with antlers, rasberry nose, and eyes.
My wife laughed at me. My older DD said, "Daddy, I thought you said it WASN'T going to be a chocolate moose?"
Meanwhile, my tired 6 yr old looked down at her plate and started to cry. Tears rolled down her cheeks as we all asked her what was wrong. She lifted her head and bawled, "It's too pretty to eat!"
The table next to us began to laugh. Our server came back and asked if anything was wrong. We explained our daughters predicament.
The CM disappered and in no time presented a bowl of ice cream to crying DD.
We managed to get rid of the moose in a humane, and honorable manner.
Before leaving the park that night, we purchased a stuffed moose from the Canadian pavillion which DD still sleeps with.
This story is family lore at our house.
But, please, don't ever think we want to go back to the restaurant that made my little girl cry!

The waiters kept saying "Eh". I don't think they hear too well.

 

[PaulaSB12]

C'mon now people - the ADR's for LeCellier are nearly impossible to come by! Doesn't everyone know how terrible this place is??

The restaurant is kinda dark inside.

What other bad sounding things can we say without making stuff up?

We're going to have to skip it our next trip - no dinner reservations to be found!

I hate to sound smug but I have 2 reservations for my next holiday
na na na na naaaaaaaaa!

This thread has got me rolling now.

Particularly the "moose" story! See?! LeCellier is MEAN TO CHILDREN! Please people, don't support such cruelty!

I once accidentally (the klutz that I am) knocked over my soda. Got it all over the table and myself. The waiter did get me a new soda.... in a cup with a lid and straw!! Oh that mean waiter - can you believe he did such a thing?! (It truly made our night - we were laughing so hard!)

 

[Delaware Mike]

The last time we were there the food was so terrible, I left the table, stood out front, and blew chunks all the way to Butchart Gardens!

 

[goofy4tink]

Are you people unaware of just how bad the food at LeCellier is for you??!! I mean come on....that cheese soup will just set up a dam in your poor arteries. And the beef??? Puleeze......little bits of floating heart attack raging through your bodies!!! That pretzel bread can't be all that good for you. Everyone knows that you can't eat just one of the dang sticks!!!
And don't even get me started on the desserts. That Maple Creme Brulee is just miserable for you.
If it weren't for the tomato stack, you would be hard pressed to find any 'healthy' food in that place. Must be why they keep it so dark....you can't see all that 'fat' going to your arteries, much less your hips!!!

 

[DizGeek]

Nobody goes to LeCellier anymore because its too crowded!

 

[Eeyore2003]

Le Cellier USED to be good. Five, Ten years ago. We even had our 25th Anniversary dinner there!!! We never missed it. The last 3 times we were there though service was awful and food was mediocre. Artist Point has taken over the number one spot in our books and we haven't been to Le Cellier now in a couple years. The last time we ate there we waited 2 hours WITH AN ADR, we rarely saw our waiter, and the food is heads and tails better at Artist Point, or many other places for that matter.

 

[AGPrincess]

That moose story is too cute!

And the waiters do say "eh" all the time. Once, we had a woman wait on us who said "It's all good" just about ever other word. We order the french dip w/o onions, her reply "it's all good, it's all good!" We ask for more bread, her reply "it's all good, it's all good!" It was hilarious! We still say "It's all good" all the time at my house.

I hate to sound smug but I have 2 reservations for my next holiday
na na na na naaaaaaaaa!

I'll sound smug too and tell you I have ADRs for Le Cellier both for my May trip (in just seven days ) and another for my Sept/Oct trip. Come dinner time May 5th and again Sept 29th I'll be thinking of you guys, as I eat my vine ripened tomato stack, mushroom filet, and creme brulee. Oh, by the way, I'll be dining solo May 5th if anyone wants to come down and join me.

and to rub it in a little bit more I'll be on the dining plan both times (free dining in fact Sept 29th-Oct 7th thanks to the Bounce Back program). What can be better than free Le Cellier appetizers, entrees, and desserts? (not that I like Le Cellier or anything)

 

[cassi06403]

(not that I like Le Cellier or anything)

Oh no - we can tell you can't stand the place!

 

[Frantasmic]

Personally, I'm surprised more people haven't spoken up on behalf of the children. When I was there, all the children, well, most of them anyway, my own included, were served drinks that MUST have contained some sort of toxic waste as the drinks were all lit up with an eerie glow that eminated from deep within the drinks' insides. My only explanation was that the water they used to make the drinks or mix with soft drink syrup was contaminated in some form or fashion.

I cannot fathom someone purposely taking their children to eat at this restaurant with the glowing drinks of toxic waste water.

 

[Chloe'sMom]

Absolutely terrible. Instead of bread or rolls they serve pretzels. I can get pretzels at a car outside! I want rolls with my dinner.

We have 1 ressie in May and 3 in October for LeCellier because we hate the place so much. LOL

 

[hmp2z]

I have a genuine negative: it's the only place where, if they feel it's a bit crowded, they will refuse to honor ADR's. Not deter with a long wait, but just flat-out turn guests away. This has happened to us twice now, and both times, we had the printed copies of our ADR's (I'm an OCD planner).

They were made by itinerary planning office, since we stay concierge level usually, so we actually had the manager at Le Cellier call the concierge when they declined to honor our reservations. The concierge argued & argued with the Le Cellier manager, who kept insisting that they were full, and we should come back the next day. Even though our reservations were for THAT day. We were not dressed inappropriately by any means: I was wearing a long, flowered skirt & my DH was wearing a polo shirt & shorts. This happened to us, not once, but twice in our years going to WDW.

I have a lot better things to do with my time than fight with crazy Canadians. We don't do Le Cellier now.

Cheers!

Canada doesn't produce shrimp

I ate there once for lunch and didn't like it, I liked the pretzel bread and the beef and barley soup, didn't like anything else. my dad didn't like anything that he had. glad we were on free dining and not paying for it.
