Le Cellier ADR

[Paging Mr. Morrow]

quick question...I have a le cellier lunch ADR for our upcoming trip; The reservation is for three people but the third person may be arriving later than expected. If we show up to our ADR with only 2 people for a reservation that was made for three people will they turn us away?

It depends...

If you arrive at Le Cellier and tell the hostess the third person in your group won't be coming at all, you will be seated.

If, by "arriving later" you mean the third person is going to join you for lunch, but isn't there yet, they won't seat you until every one in your party has arrived. However, if the third person doesn't show up in time and it is past the grace period, the restaurant could refuse to seat you or you could be put on the walk up wait list if they're accepting walk ups.

I agree with Purpule Figment.

Dh was late for our ADR in May as he was on the phone with work. Well he was on the phone for over 30 minutes and he didn't want to go in the restaurant usingthe phone KWIM. We were called once and I told them he hadn't arrive. They told me if within 15 minutes he wasn't there, they would have to cacel our ADr and put us on the walk up list. Luckly Dh made it back on time before they called our name the second time.

Depends on whoever's at the podium. Usually they will make you wait until your party is all present and if they're really late you won't get a break; they'll put you back in the standby queue and a lot of times Le Cellier doesn't even have a standby queue. If you believe the third person isn't going to show up at all, tell them you're just a party of two and you will be seated.

We had the first dinner seating at 410pm. Properly greeted and seated. For us, the price seemed ridiculously overpriced but more importantly the food was pretty mediocre. To spend $40+ for a steak, you're in Ruth's Chris and/or Morton's territory and you know how good a steak you're going to get there. In my opinion, the quality of the steak at Le Cellier was on par with a Golden Corrall or Sizzler at best. Absolutely nothing special about this "all Canadian Beef" All 4 of us ordered either the bone-in ribeye, the fillet mignon or the NY Strip. The ribeye is the biggest steak you can get there. 16oz with the bone in, 12-14oz net weight after bone removal. $42. $1 more than the 8oz fillet mignon. Cheapest entre on the menu is Quiche for $23. I ordered my steak rare. It came medium-medium well. The steak was also caked with so much salty seasoning had it not been overcooked, I wouldn't have been able to eat it anyway as it was way too salty. Ordered the "Poutine" fries which were not traditionally prepared as it is in Canada but the description sounded good. In reality, it was inedible after they dumped a saucier of bitter salty red wine reduction all over them. So, the first steak went back for a retry and the potatoes went back for good. Round 2 of the ribeye was no better. Cooked rare this time to order but was truly so tough and grissly, I gave up on it. So much for Canadian Beef. Of the other 3 meat eaters in our group, his ribeye was overcooked too but he didn't want to send it back. The other 2 diners' steaks were cooked correctly. Nobody was ooing and ahhing about it. For a first time try of this place, it will be our last. Good parts were the "pretzel rolls" The butter was richer (though somehow they feel it necessary to put "artisan salt" over the top of it. Service from Alyssa was a little spotty, had to ask for additional butter twice, she never brought it the 2nd time. Oh and BTW, your cellphone will NOT work in this restaurant, it's downstairs/underground somewhat. Plus come on, $280 for dinner for 4 in a theme park? For us, as it is with Barack Obama, it's "one and done" for this place.
