Each trip we schedule a few restaurants we've never tried before, just to keep things fresh. Our Easter trip included 4 new spots, but LeCellier was the best!
Although we had ADR's for 6:20 PM, we still waited 25 mins. to be seated. Granted it is THE busiest time of year, but ADR's should count for something, right?
Properly seated, we are immediately greeted by the friendliest waitress we have ever encountered! Helpful, pleasant, smart, all the things you want in a server! She helped navigate the menu, suggested apps and entrees and whisked away to get our drinks. I ordered the Moosehead Pale Ale and DW chose to go with our servers suggestion of a Canadian Chardonnay, great suggestion (I stole a sip)!
We order entrees, DW the Filet Mignon, DD the chicken (of course) and I the prime rib (of course) and apps; DW the mussels, DD the cheese soup, I the spring salad (with the idea of sharing). The apps are brought out within minutes and WOW! The mussels are awesome, the soup very tasty, the salad crisp and tart. Nothing left but plate!
The main course arrives maybe 15 mins. later and again WOW! The prime rib and filet are cooked perfectly and are full of flavor, and the chicken a big hit with DD12!
We're not a dessert group (me being diabetic) so DW & DD split the creme brulee'. They liked the vanilla but not the maple.
We used our DDP and all agreed; the best meal of he week! The room is cosy, service outstanding, food delicious.... just work on that waiting to be seated with ADR's thing!
