LeCellier lunch or Coral Reef dinner?

[ktink]

We need to cancel one of our ADR's. We'll only be doing Epcot on one day so I will need to cancel one of the two. For those of you who have eaten at both places which do you prefer?

I have to admit I honestly had to think about this. We really like both, but I went with LeCellier for slightly higher food quality. Atmosphere hands down Coral Reef.

Thanks. I really am having a hard time with this but it looks like LeCellier is in the lead.

Coral Reef, hands down. THe food is quite good, we love the appetizers and desserts. Atmosphere is wonderful, especially if you're anywhere near the tank. While we eat at Le Cellier every trip, it seems a little crowded and cramped by comparison, with no view to admire while waiting for your meal. The food is OK, but frankly it's just as good at Outback.

I'm really glad you posted this. We've never ate at either place and I would really like to have dinner instead of lunch. Thanks for the input!

Food-wise, I think LC is slightly better, but we go to Disney restaurants for the atmosphere, and Coral Reef definitely has the upperhand there. LC's atmosphere is ok, but where I live, there are tons of restaurants with the cellar/steakhouse look, so we don't really feel like we're at DIsney when we go to LC.

I was thinking that if the atmosphere is that much better at CR that we may cancell LeCellier for lunch. And if we do this I will schedule WCC for breakfast. Does that sound like a good idea?

Our last trip, our whole group enjoyed Coral Reef more than they did Le Cellier. I was a bit disappointing to go back this last time, compared to 2005. We had great service, great food, and a great atmosphere at CR. Try it!!! I'm sure glad we did.

Thanks. I've talked to the kids and they really think that the aquarium in CR would be great. I'm really not sure what to do on this since we've never been to either. LeCellier seems to get so many great reviews while CR seems to be a little mixed. I'd really love to hear more opinions.

ktink, my vote is for dinner at CR b/c I can't imagine walking around the park after having an app, entree, and desert unless someone is rolling me around. But we usually have our big meals at breakfast and dinner. Dinner is just a nice was to wind down and visit about the day.

Very good point! We like to use the credits for dinner and breakfast and that is the very reason why. I think that DH and I will try LeCellier on our next trip as the kids will enjoy CR.

I'd probably pick dinner at Coral Reef since you have kids, but I do like Le Cellier!

My preference, by far, is Le Cellier. I can't sit in an aquarium and eat seafood! But besides that, I really like the food at LC. And the atmosphere.

My husband and I still talk about our dinner at LC and have decided that it may have been the best meal we have had in 10 years (although we don't get out much... ). I still dream about the creme brulle and my husband loved the crab appetizer. The kids liked it (9 and 6) and it was nice to have some quiet time and a good meal. We did other character meals and a ton of "busy" meals, we all enjoyed a little down time with the best food ever !!!!

I can't recommend it highy enough!!!

Thanks for the link. If we decide to go w/ CR, I won't be ordering the sad little crab cake.
