Originally Posted By Autopia Deb As far as MK sit down places go, I'd say Liberty Tree is pretty good. Those green beans were super yummy (and I never rave about veggies!). Like most fixed price places, it's over priced, but so is every other theme park restaurant on the planet.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Liberty Tree we have eaten at twice, and had fun. The food has always been less than average except the stuffing and mac n cheese. The meat is overcooked, and vegetables must be really boring in the rest of the US? It's ok, and it is the best option, but I find the resorts, Epcot and Studios are a far greater draw. But we all have different pallettes. I know I find a lot of food in the states is now too greasy or salty for my pallette. When I first moved to the UK, it took decades to get used to the food (and some traditional food I find dull here). I am always happy eating in mainland Europe however.

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I think it is a case of my pallette changing. I found we were fine at place like Mark Hopkins, 4 Seasons, steakhouse 55 in DL. But a lot of the cheaper places, were too processed and salty (it is true in the UK too, but to a slightly lesser extent)

My opinions: Hoop-de-doo: super fun show, food was good, could eat more cornbread right now! would return Cinderella's Royal table: awesome eating in the Castle, well, being in the Castle, eating was less than awesome. Eggs were awful, service was good, and all the princesses came to visit even though we were grownups. glad we did it once, would not return Boma: interesting options, beautiful setting, would absolutely return. Le Cellier: best meal in a long time "scopa special" filet with mushrooms was unreal and I don't even like mushrooms, would like to return. tomorrow. Yak and Yeti: a nice break from more typical theme park food, also enjoyed the take out window and could have gotten my fix there for a lot less $. would return to the takeout window. 50s Prime time Cafe: food was barely ok (meatloaf...) and a small portion, our server seemed bored, would not return. Coral Reef: I enjoyed eating fish while looking at fish (disturbing). Food was good, would like to try other places before we return here.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I'm odd... as if everyone here didn't already know... At Epcot I love Marrakesh, Nine Dragons and Biergarten.

The previous restaurant at Italy (Alfredo's) was the most over-rated at Epcot... I've never tried the new one. I would LOVE to try the restaurants at France but could never interest Rosie in the menus. Now I will have to give them a try. NOW… for the comment that will put me in the LP dining doghouse... Since Alfredo's is history, what is NOW the most over-rated restaurant at Epcot? No question... Le Celllier at Canada!! COME ON FOLKS... it is at best a mid-scale steakhouse with a great beer cheese soup and nothing else. You can get a better meal at any upscale steakhouse in America. I cannot believe the constant drooling over this place that I hear. I've eaten there several times and it is good, 'safe', and enjoyable. But a great dining experience? NO WAY!! Bring it on... ;-)

Originally Posted By 1DisneyNutt My mom and I went to LeCellier for the first time over the summer. We both really enjoyed it I had the filet mignot and she had the New York Strip Steak which was amazing.
Originally Posted By Disneymom443 Have you ever had their Ice wine? It is great, best for a dessert wine, a bit expensive though. We have always enjoyed the food at Le Cellier and will always make it one of our places to eat. But we all have own opinions here that is what is so great. One can love Le Cellier and one doesn't. That is Ok.

Oh, and as for the French restaurants, I HIGHLY recommend le Bistro de Paris. It's great! had a nice dinner there with Spirit a few years ago, and -em and I will be having dinner there on Christmas this year.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Thanks folks for not dumping on me too much. I love the beer cheese soup. I've had good steaks there and mediocre salmon and pork chops. I've had better meals at steakhouses in both Minneapolis and Vegas. Maybe I should give it another try. But not this year... I am trying Chefs de France for the first time! -Jerry
