Which would you choose?

Those dining will be 2 adults and 3 kids, ages 2, 4, and 6. I love seafood and my husband loves steak.

Thanks!

no question! lecellier! it by far my favorite in wdw, this trip will be the first time im going to try coral reef, but i havent heard great things about it, you could have asked me that same question with any other rest at wdw in its place and my answer would be lecellier. i think youll find most people here on intercot love lecellier, i dont think ive read a negative comment about it. lecellier is :number1:

Yup Lecellier IF YOU CAN GET AN ADR.

The kids would like seeing the fish at Coral Reef but the food is passable at best.

We LOVE LeCellier:eat: and will be going to the Coral Reef for the first time on the 29th of Aug. From what I have read the small ones may be happier with the Coral Reef, Le Cellier is a much more grown up atmosphere. I am sure you will all enjoy what every choice you make, after all you will be at the happiest place on earth!:mickey:

We tried both on our last vacation to WDW. Loved them both...enjoyed the food equally well at both. The only reason why I would put Coral Reef above Le Cellier is because of the fish tank. My DD4 and DS2 were in awe over the fish. Between the fish tank and the darkened atmosphere, it was the most peaceful meal we had on the whole trip.

The staff at Le Cellier was very nice and kept the bread/crackers coming until our meals came which pleased the kids. Le Cellier is kid-friendly as well but the fish tank has the most "wow-factor" for kids.

I would pick Le Cellier. I love steak and I don't even eat seafood so it was an easy choice for me;)

I like both restaurants, but I think the atmosphere at the Coral Reef with the fishtank would keep the kids entertained. I have never felt that there was anything special about the atmosphere at Le Cellier.

I've had a great meal at both.

If you can swing it, schedule lunch at coral reef and dinner at LeCellier. I have a hard time choosing too so I just try to fit them all in. My friend went to LeCellier and Coral Reef and LOVED LeCellier. She said it was and amazing value on the dining plan. Really good steaks.

How true. We just booked our next WDW trip for Feb. 2008 and when I called Disney Dining to make a dinner ADR for Le Cellier I was out of luck. I then switched to lunch and just barely got in. At the time it was about 175 days out, keeping in mind you can't make ADR's until 180 days out. They told me I was very lucky to call when I did and almost could not believe it.

We might be out of luck then for LeCellier. We too are going in Feb and I did not call yet for ADR's. I guess we can try for a lunch time there and then just do Coral Reef if not.

Thanks for all the help!

When are you going? Do you have an ADR yet? Le Cellier is extremely hard to get into now (it's now the new IT place.) Coral Reef is somewhat hard to get into, but it's not difficult as Le Cellier. You have to call 407-WDW-DINE at exactly 180 days before your arrival to have any chance to eating at this restaurant. Anyone who cannot get into this restaurant will tell you that calling early is practically the only way to get into this exclusive restaurant.

LeCellier is very good, but I would go with Coral Reef for the children. The aquarium will keep them entertained and the food is really good! You can't go wrong either way though! :mickey:

I called today at about 171 days in advance. I got LeCellier's lunch at 1:30! I am very excited to try this much talked about restaurant.

As recommended by another poster, I am going to also try to get into Coral Reef maybe for dinner this time on another day. The atmosphere sounds wonderful.

I ate at Le Cellier for the first time last month and it was excellent. Coral Reef (to me) is overrated and overpriced.

I tried to make reservations at both several weeks ago and both were already completely booked. I have never eaten at either but have read great recommendations on all websites. A friend on mine lives in Orlando and Le Cellier is one of her favorites.

Those are our two "always do" places in Epcot. In fact, I think we'd have a difficult time choosing which to do if we could only do one.

We are 2 adults, an 8 1/2 year old boy and a 3 year old girl and we all love both of them.
