Just booked it today for dinner. I asked for the "steakhouse in Canada" and the CM said "you mean le cell- E- A (sounding like the letters of the alphabet). Not sure if this is the commom pron but it is what I heard today from one CM.
We have a small town near here named Versailles, and I just can't bring myself to tell you how it's pronounced. Let's just say we'd make an Okie speaking french feel right at home here in Kentucky!

I used to live in Madison Indiana, and I know what you mean about Ver sails.
I have also always been unsure of how to pronounce LeCellier. When I made ADR's last week, I just said Canada. The CM said Le Cell yer. I didn't think that was right, but didn't dare try to correct her.
Ahhhh, Versailles.
I grew up in Florida in a subdivision where all the street names were French. A pronunciation guide did not come with the purchase of a home. A street near my house was known to everyone as Ver-sail-eees. I was in my twenties before I realized how wrong that was. I'm just glad we didn't live on Mar-se-ale drive (Marseille)
