Originally Posted By LadyandtheTramp I'm not sure what the cause is, but both of the past three weekends we would have been able to snag lunch reservations there by going online the morning we were interested.

Originally Posted By elene That's too bad. We probably won't go if that is the case unless we have credits to burn. I had a hard time getting a lunch reservation in October a few weeks ago. I took the reservations I could get (I booked 2 lunches there)! I've been checking every day to see if I can get a better day (earlier in my vacation for 1 of the visits) but so far no cancellations. I guess your answer is, can you get a dinner reservation now? If you can't, then adding 2 credits for lunch might not make much difference in terms of getting reservations.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I never use the DDP so 1 credit vs 2 doesn't make me much difference. What does make me a difference is that fact that prices at Le Cellier have increased by about 50% over the last few years... although Le Cellier used to be one of my favorite Epcot restaurants, I just no longer feel the value is there.

Originally Posted By KCCHIEF I had never dined there before so not sure if tables have been added....but for how expensive and nice this restaurant is.....those tables were very close People all around us (no matter their size) were having to slide in sideways to get into their seats at their table
Originally Posted By RoadTrip This place gets such great reviews... wish I could generate some enthusiasm for it but I just can't. Outside of the Beer Cheese Soup which is outstanding, I find the rest of of the menu rather average and overpriced. I've had salmon, the pork chop and a steak (forget which one) there and wasn't overly impressed with any of them. It was good enough but at those prices I don't want good enough, I want OUTSTANDING. Maybe my menu selections have been poor. What are some of the favorite entrees of the people here who love the place?
Originally Posted By hopemax Honestly, the entree is the weakest part of the meal for me too. I love it for the cheese soup, pretzel bread and the chocolate moose dessert. For an entree I would either get the prime rib sandwich (which they don't have anymore) or the mushroom filet depending on how hungry I am. But I haven't gone in a few years because of the craziness surrounding the restaurant.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I agree about the crowding of tables, but the last time I was there it was nowhere near as bad as the old Alfredo's was in Italy. I swear, at Alfredo's you were literally inches away from your neighbors! My favorite Epcot restaurant is still Nine Dragons followed closely by restaurant Marrakesh and Biergarten (though Biergarten has gotten a little pricey for a buffet where you sit at picnic tables!).
Originally Posted By KCCHIEF I loved my filet .....it just fell apart But, I was really excited for that cheese soup that I had heard only good things about.... Well, my soup had no taste whatsoever and was kinda thick and greasy...yuck!
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Well, that's two out of two people recommending the mushroom filet. I checked their lunch menu and the prices are MUCH LESS than they are at dinner. The filet is only $4 more that the pork chop that I though was very average. I may return for a lunch visit next time I'm at WDW. I know it would probably make sense to sign up for the dreaded DDP, but so far I've refused to do that because I hate what it has done to making reservations at the WDW table service places.
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh I really don't like the idea of making reservations months in advance. When you tend to go in January, which park you decide to hit each day can vary a lot with the weather.
Originally Posted By sjhym333 And the fact that they will not even entertain walk ups is very annoying. The days for someone who is local being able to head to EPCOT and grab a last minute nice meal are long gone. Now the choices tend to be China and Morocco. But we haven't been to Le Cellier in years because we just never know when we want to go.
