What is the most overrated Restaurant at Disney

[MagicallyDelicious]

I just thought of another one.

50's Prime Time Cafe. I have never had a decent meal there. It's cafeteria-quality food, IMO.

Yeah, the food isn't great, but one of our best Disney memories is eating there a few years ago and the waitress making my 70 year old Dad and my 16 year old daughter clear the table. They both had to carry stacks of dishes into the kitchen. My daughter tried to sneak her green beans onto my Dad's plate since she didn't like them. The waitress caught her and my Dad made the mistake of saying they were his. Unfortunately, his entree didn't come with green beans. Busted!

Making my Dad sing "i'm a little teapot" was just an added bonus...

Biggest let down for us was CRT. Food was bleh, hubby's prime rib was more fat than meat and lavender chicken was just bizarre. Princesses didn't bother with us as we were just 2 adults.

Would much rather have spent my 2 DP credites elsewhere.

It's funny how folks tastes are so so different... I loved the Prime Rib and our pickiest DD RAVED about the lavendar chicken.

Unfortunately they have not offered these meals since switching to Princess Dining (2010? or so)

in May 2012 DD begged for the Lavendar chicken (which they no longer offer) and a waiter was kind enough to bring her the recipe....

That's too bad! They always stop to talk to us.

Here is the thing, overrated can mean different things based on what are the touted features of the restaurant. For a restaurant like Le Celliers people tout the food. For a restaurant like 50's Prime Time, some tout the home cooking, but most describe the atmosphere and waitress experience as the highlight. For Chef Mickey we are there to see the Mouse. I've never seen a review that praised the food too much. So you have to think about what people are praising the restaurant for characters, atmosphere, food, etc.

 

[Cimicats]

Le Cellier for me too. I wouldn't say it was bad, but with the hard to get ressies and rave reviews I guess I was expecting more. I agree on 50's Primetime too. I like it more for atmosphere rather than the food.

A theory explaining Le Cellier's popularity: surrounded by pavillions offering 'exotic' cuisine, its menu is a beacon of normality. It was the same reason why Alfredo's was ridiculously inaccessible for most of the eighties and nineties.

Chef Mickeys - sucks and feels like your seated off to the side of a low class airport.

I see a lot of bashing toward Le Cellier.
"Impossible to get a ressie" shouldn't be part of something being 'over rated'. Food quality, atmosphere, service etc. should determine why it's overrated. Obviously if something is deemed over rated it generally has a long wait/struggle to find a reservation.

As for the food at Le Cellier, I can only speak for their;
Scallop appetizer
NY Strip
Filet

The above choices on Le Cellier's menu, in my meaningless opinion lol, is on par or BETTER than top rated restaurants I've been to. The scallops were better than what I've gotten at Michael Mina's Seablue and both steaks were BETTER than Bobby Flay's steakhouse in the Borgata and Todd English's Olive in the Bellagio. Honestly I go to Old Homestead regularly in the Borgata and I would say that Le Cellier's steak choices are very close to the quality of them.

Like I said, I'm just some 23 year old Marine/Nursing student, not some food connoisseur lol but Le Cellier is definitely worth the table credits or out of pocket cash for a quality meal.

We have noticed a significant decline in the quality of the food in the last 4-5 years. We will no longer eat at wolfgang pucks(one of our all time must dos), pecos bills tastes like been in fridge since last Thursday(toppings bar makes it edible). For the most part there is nowhere in mk that is worth paying for. I just don't think the system can support 100% ressie capacity from open til close. Food at Disney is no longer a delicacy, it is something to eat to survive. As for the servers, I can understand the decline in service. They have more tables for the same pay as before, but the biggest problem is the ddp tips everyone the same percent automatically. So The hungover server gets the same as the outstanding one. We always try and tell a manager when we get an excellent one. But, with free dining u get what u pay for. If the.meal is not up to par, it is time to drown sorrows at the Sam Adams tent.

Another vote for Le Cellier.

And I thought it was over-rated when it was 1TS. I do NOT get the hype around the mushroom fillet. If I was paying OOP I would have complained about the prices compared to quality, but on DDP I didn't bother.

I think Boma for dinner. It's good but not great.

I love Le Cellier, however I think the hype has created a lot of the let downs in customers. At 1TS, it was definitely worth the money, a value. Now at 2TS and having eaten at Yachtsman and several of signature restaurants, the food is on par with them, just not the 'signature' dining atmosphere- which for me at 23 I don't mind, nothing worse than a bunch of stiffs who enjoy eating in a full blown suit pretending they're above everybody lol.

2TS credits is going to put a damper on it for me

For us it was Flying Fish. Tons of money for a so-so meal. Our local seafood restaurant was much better.

 

[Luuvebugg]

I am completely over Chef Mickey's..like the atmosphere and the waving of the napkins, so much fun, but the food is just not good at all.
I also used to like going there because the main characters are there, and that avoids long waits in the parks.

O'Hana; extremely disappointed. Service mediocre, food a 4 on a 1-10. Atmosphere 8, but you can't eat atmosphere. Would not go back.
