    I have a long list of TS restaurants that I would like to go to on my next trip. I need to narrow down my list. I was wondering if you could tell me which one of the above is your favorite and why?

    I've only eaten at two of the four you had listed: Mama Melrose and LeCellier. I picked Mama Melrose as I enjoyed my dinners both times we've eaten there. I like LeCellier; but I didn't find it lived up to the hype for the money. I actually thought the steak tasted better at Raglan Road.

    We have eaten at all four. LeCellier is by far our favorite -- we've always had great food and great service. Next would be Biergarten, then Mama Melrose and lastly Garden Grill.

    As much as I looooove Le Cellier, I chose the Biergarten. The food is good and the atmosphere is great.

    Choose the Biergarten!! I've only eaten at 2 of the 4 resturants. Biergarten and Le Cellier. We really liked the food and atmosphere at the biergarten. We were less than pleased with Le cellier. Probably will never go back there.

    Although, none of the listed is my fave, out of the 4, I chose Mama's. It's the only one of the 4 that I can say I both enjoyed the food and didn't find it too pricey!

    I have only eaten at two of these restaurants as well Mamma Melrose and Le Cellier. While I like le Cellier I picked Mamma Melrose because we have never had a bad meal there and the service is excellent. I dream about their calamairi (Yummy!)

    Of those four, I've only tried Biergarten and Le Cellier. Garden Grill and Mama Melrose never appealed to me. Mama's gets mixed reviews, heavy on the negative. Garden Grill looks like a nice family experience, but not my thing.

    Biergarten was great to try once. The atmosphere is lovely, the band is fun. You're seated in tables of eight, may end up with strangers. And the food? Buffet quality, very heavy, sausage-centric. Not bad, but not great, unless you're a fan of heavy foods and sausage.

    Le Cellier is over-rated, but it's still very good food, and it's consistently good, which is why there are far more good reviews than bad and it's a big favorite of many. I liked it and I would go back.

    I have dined at 3 of the 4. While the filet at LeCell was awesome, my best all around dining experience this past year was Mama Melrose. The food at Garden Grill didn't do it for me, although I have not eaten there recently. Biergarten is on my list for this Sept.

    Le Cellier is fantastic for lunch or dinner! We love Mama Melrose's for lunch. We weren't impressed with the Garden Grill the last time we ate there a few years ago for dinner. I haven't been to the Biergarden in at least 20 years, and I didn't like it then. Not my kind of food. My German ancestors would probably be appaulled.

    For quality of food - Le Cellier

    For entertainment - Biergarten

    For a character meal that's good for adults and kids - Garden Grill

    AS for Mama Melrose - When I've eaten there on the Backstage Magic tour the food and service have been great. When I've eaten there as a regular guest the food has been just ok and the service has been terrible.

    We used to make Garden Grill as one of our "must do's" but haven't had much luck in getting in on the past 2 trips.

    I vote for Le Cellier for the overall quality of food. I must admit, each of the choices is pretty good!

    Of all the places at WDW we have eaten multiple times Le Cellier and Ohana's are the only two we have never had a bad experience. Always good service and good food. Most of my experiences are good at the other places but I have had one mediocre experience at each.

    Hard choices, as you have three of our favorites on your list! We really enjoy Mama Melrose and dine several times each trip here - it's a nice place with a casual atmosphere, good food and great sangria. LeCellier has lived up to its hype with us . . . great steaks, love the "cellar" atmosphere - and of course the pretzel bread! Garden Grill has some of the best character interaction available at Disney - but I wouldn't give up our LeCellier reservation since Garden Grill cut out lunch, hence we're not dining there this season. Biergarten is the only one we haven't been, since DH can't stand the smell of 'kraut.

    Good luck in your decision - you have a hard one to make!

    Out of your choices, I've only eaten at LeCellier, so that's what I voted for.
