LeCellier - arriving early for ADR

[Mimi Q]

Any chance of getting seated a few minutes early there if we arrive early? I can't get an ADR for the time I really wanted. I am going to keep trying though. Thanks.

 

[J and R's mom]

It never hurts to try. Your success will largely depend on when you're planning to try and get in early. The dinner hours are probably more difficult.

We arrived there 30 mins early for our lunch reservation once and still had to wait the full 30 mins before we were seated.

 

[Mimi Q]

That's what I was afraid of. I am going to keep calling every day to see if I can move it up.

Just had dinner at Le Cellier about 2 weeks ago. Arrived about 25 minutes early due to some thunderstorms. Waited the 25 minutes plus 10. We had arrived earlier at other restaurants and were seating almost instantly so I am thinking that the weather may have been a factor. The pretzel bread is worth the wait though!!

It never hurts to try....Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. I have even gotten in without a reservation.

You can always try, but be prepared to wait. This is one of two places that always seem to have long waits, even if you arrive early for an ADR. The other place always seems to be the 50sPT.

Dinner in Dec we waited 15 minutes past our ADR time. Lunch in Feb we were seated right at our ADR time and we arrived 20 minutes early

This past christmas we ended up an hour early and just stood around awhile , then I asked if I could check in early and she said sure just as we were going to go watch the movie we were called and it was about 40 minutes before our adr and on Christmas week. So you just never know what could happen.

We had lunch ADRs for Le Cellier in June. We arrived 10 minutes early and even though the place was mobbed (they were not taking walk ups at that time) we were seated right away.

LeCellier is the only restaurant that we've had to wait *after* our ADR time for a table. We've been there early, we've been there fairly close to our time, but we've always had to wait for that one.

We went during lunch and arrived about 20 minutes early. We got our table within 5 minutes of checking in at the podium.

In Feb. we arrived about 20 minutes early and got seated right away! Our ADR was for 5:00pm, I guess we got really lucky! It doesn't hurt to try.

 

[byoung]

Yes if you are lucky.

We arrived 30 mins. early for Le Cellier one time and went to check in.

The woman at the podium told me to come back in 10 minutes to check in as they were so busy they weren't checking anyone in more than 20 minutes prior to their ADR time.

I have generally found at Le Cellier (probably due to its popularity) they generally seat on or after your ADR time.

In Feb., we arrived about 20 minutes before our ADR time and were seated right away. As others have said, anything can happen. Good luck!

The last time we ate there, which BTW is the LAST time we'll eat there!!!, we got there 30 minutes early, (just to see) and waited 1 1/2 hours to get seated. So good luck!!!

We were just there on Monday with a 7:40pm ADR. Showed up 20 minutes early & got seated RIGHT away! It worked out perfectly- we walked out at about 8:55pm & were able to see Illuminations!
