Le Cellier patrons - Steak/Meat Choice?

[PryncessChrysty]

Normally, at any good steakhouse I prefer the NY Strip & DH loves the prime rib - neither of us would usually order filet mignon. A couple of weeks ago, during lunch at Le Cellier I ordered the Mushroom Filet and we both loved it! When we went back for dinner later in the trip, we both ordered it!! We definitely plan to go back for it on our next trip!

LOVE the filet! DH and DS both ordered the NY Strip. DH liked it, DS thought it was terrible. At least I talked DS into going back and trying something else. I loved my meal at Le Cellier!

The filet mignon was the best and the mushroom risotto was to die for. I believe I licked my plate clean! I've had the new york sirloin and it was okay but I am a filet mignon girl. We'll be there in a couple weeks to have it again!

I had the NY the first time and the filet the next and would get the filet everytime in the future. The NY wasn't bad but it was nowhere near as tender and flavorful as the filet.

I order the filet mignon and ask to have the cream cheese mashed potatoes with it instead of the risotto. It's an amazing meal!

Ditto!!! Add the cheese soup and pretzel bread and its a delicious steak dinner!

Filet is great. Sub mashed for risotto. Not a mushroom girl. I've had the sirloin a fcouple times and once it was good and the next time not so much. So I stick with the filet. I also like the chicken! (even tho my son makes fun of me when I order chicken at a steakhouse) Wasn't a fan of the mac n cheese. Garlicky. Cheese soup and poutine for apps are yummy!

On our last trip I thought the mushroom filet was awesome. DH thought the New York strip good but mine was better

The veal T-bone is a wonderful piece of meat and unusual. The others three are probably the top three most common beef dishes in any restaurant so it's nice to try something different! The veal is tender and has a lighter flavor, certainly my choice.

If you choose the filet, subbing the cream cheese mashed potatoes for the mushroom risotto, you should try the veal demi-glace for a small charge. Very rich and very wonderful drizzled over the filet and potato. (about 3 tablespoons served separately so you add to the dish yourself.) I believe this is how the filet used to be served before changing to the mushroom risotto. We are hoping once LeCellier changes the menu, the demi-glace will still be available.

I love the filet. That being said, if you like you meat cooked more than medium rare then I'd suggest something else. It really is a very thick cut (as it should be) and they'd have to butterfly it to correctly cook it beyond that. DH likes medium and his was a bit under cooked for his liking because really you can't correctly grill a steak as thick as that to medium or more without burning the outside.

I also love that risotto and I could eat mushrooms with every meal and if a steak is cooked beyond rare I won't eat it so the filet is an easy choice for me.

I've eaten the Filet twice and ordered it Medium Well and it wasn't burnt or cut butterfly. The steak is thick. Maybe they put it in the oven to cook it more on the inside?

It was really good! Cooked purfectly.
