Le Cellier last night

For the positives: Ds and Dd had the cheese soup and LOVED it! I found it a little salty. (In fact, I found everything to be a bit salty at this meal...but I don't use much salt, so it was probably just me.) Dh and I each had the mushroom filet mignon and ds had the NY strip. Wonderful, as always! However, dh and I both noticed that they are getting really skimpy with the risotto. What's with that?

For the negatives: Our party of 4 got the basket of bread with 3 pieces in it. Ummm...there are 4 of us. Do the math. Ds and dd fought, of course.

The charcuterie plate left something to be desired. It wasn't bad...just not all that good. For $15 and at Le Cellier, I expect a little wow factor here.

Dd's steak from the children's menu was miniscule and her green beans were nearly raw. Her steak was all of about 4 bites -- probably less than that once she cut the fat off it. The beans definitely needed another minute or two in the pan.

Our ADR was for 8:45, and we were seated by 8:50. Despite many parties leaving, our food was slow to arrive. By the time our entrees arrived, there were only a couple of other tables seated in our area, making us feel hurried.

Our server was efficient but not friendly. She did get the job done...but there were no warm fuzzies. Also, this dinner was for dd's birthday, which had been noted on our ADR; but there was no recognition of it. (I realize that this is not guaranteed, but other groups were getting recognized for various celebrations; so it was a little sad for her.)

Overall, a very good meal. Next time, we'll stick to just entrees here.

I thought my steak was a bit salty last trip too.

I have a picture of comparison from an older trip to a recent trip in food proportions & it is crazy how much less you get for your $$ now but we love le cellier. Our server last trip wasnt very attentive last trip but we're hoping for better in December.

Here are the comparison pics:

Le Cellier has been a must do every trip to DW. This coming year, we have decided not to add it in. We were there last week and did enjoy it! But you are right about the salt. Everything was fantastic though. I still would recommend it to anyone that I know is going to Epcot.

In fact, my DH and I are going to drop the Deluxe Dining Plan to the Dining Plan this next year. We have been doing the DDP plan for 5 years. We leave too many credits on the table (lol) every year.....
