Lol....my dad has a question for those who have been to Le Cellier before :)

[purple figment]

Since there are french fries on the kids menu he could ask to have them subbed for the side that usually comes with the steak he orders.

OP, I was looking around for Heinz 57 in packets. They have them on Amazon. Looks like it only comes in a pretty large lot, but it still might be worth ordering. Your dad would probably love the surprise of some of the packets at Disney, and you could give him the rest when he gets home.

If he likes the sauce bring it and taste the steaks and then add if necessary.

We love to have a steak at Flying Fish on the Boardwalk by the Epcot resorts....

So there's the question, would he be able to get a steak and French fries and ask for 57 sauce or will he get laughed out of Florida?

1) Yep.
2) In fact, asking for the steak to be plain and then adding 57 is a sound choice.
3) Le Cellier adds GOBS of sodium to the sauce to make their mediocre steaks taste better.
4) This is an old/trusty/reliable restaurant trick.
. . . salt hits certain receptors on the tongue and back of the mouth
. . . this makes most foods taste differently
. . . since salt/sodium in ingrained within humans and it is pleasing to the taste buds
. . . restaurants frequently add salt to meats or sauces to increase the sensation of the meat

NOTE: We have a majority interest in a breakfast-lunch-only Diner. We serve some cheaper cuts of beef for both meals, and either add salt or brine the beef to make the meat taste better than it is. You can't serve steak-and-eggs for $7.00 without using less expensive cuts. We also CLEARLY state on the menu, "Sodium Added".

I worked at the Canada Pavillion a couple years ago they definetley had french fries they were thicker steak fries and steak sauce upon request. It may not be your exact brand of choice but there is steak sauce. I had people order it all the time, I didnt mind. As a canadian I like dousing everything with gravy its not an insult just a preference

You might find it better value to go to Rose & Crown as you could get steak for $28 instead of $39-$49 and if he would normally just eat Steak without a fancy sauce he may find that a better idea?

Decided to cancel our ADR at Le Cellier. They decided a ribeye at Planet Hollywood or a New York Strip at T-Rex would be good enough.

PROOF that Disney doesn't get it. Good service NEVER looks at a customer this way. My coworker asked for it at Gibson's in Chicago and the response was "Yes M'amm' Same at Flemings and other good places.

While you and I can't imagine doing this, that does not make it wrong for others. It's their money and they should be allowed to eat food that makes then happy (plus it's going to cost you more the $40 at Le Cellier LOL! )

It's not always about negatively judging a customer, it's about maintaining a culinary image in CERTAIN dining aspects.
If you come here to Philadelphia or NYC and visit an upscale steakhouse, you won't find any commercial steak sauce available in 99% of locations.
Dousing a steak in A1 overpowers the taste of the steak itself, diners who pour steak sauce all over their steak are always said to not even like steak if that's what they're doing.
By not providing steak sauce in an upscale steakhouse, they're saying, "Our steaks don't require steak sauce." Not one upscale steakhouse I've been to (Del Friscos, Prime, Portobello's, Barclay Prime to many others) even have it available.
Capital Grille and Ruth Chris have commercial steak sauce, but there's it's not readily on any table for a reason and for 60 tables with steak, you might see one bottle. In the culinary world, a restaurateur would rather have the image of not providing steak sauce due to the integrity of their meat. Le Bec-Fin wouldn't even cook a steak beyond medium. The paying customer, simply couldn't buy a steak there if we wanted it any form of well because Perrier stated that he 'wouldn't serve ruin beef cuts'

In the end, I'm all for 100% eating whatever you want HOWEVER you want for your money. And the waitstaff want a good tip, nobody's going to be unbecoming to your face for asking for steak sauce. But in Gibson's or Capital Grille, asking for steak sauce for your steak is getting a diner judged as being out of your element and not knowing a good steak. If I liked well done steak smothered in A1, no place would deter me from ordering as I please.

You might find it better value to go to Rose & Crown as you could get steak for $28 instead of $39-$49 and if he would normally just eat Steak without a fancy sauce he may find that a better idea?

I agree with this 110%.
There's no point in seeking a dry or wet-aged steak or black angus steak for double the cost to bury it in A1. With the strong tastes of these steak sauces, it's not even about liking the taste of steak, it's like the steak just serves as a carrier and texture for the taste of A1 or Heinz 57
