Now I booked this reservation on the 180 day mark and I was really looking forward to this as was Dan, the meal all in all was good but did not meet our expectations and here is why.

We had to wait over 30 mins to be seated
I was told despite disliking mushrooms my steak had to come swimming in mushroom risotto and have my side "on the side" - no substitutions allowed
And our order was taken down wrong

We both ordered cheese soup but only one came out so we shared this, we were kind of glad as well as it was quite filling and thick but was really tasty - it reminded me of cheese dip my mum used to make in the 80's - the bread was also brought out and was good.

I ordered the filet mignon - with a side of loaded mash potatoes and Dan ordered the rib eye with fingerling potatoes

Dans rib eye was huge

Now I will eat my words here because the risotto was actually really nice but I could not get over it being forced upon me and my steak was only just still medium and almost medium-well - the loaded mash was good though - Dan enjoyed his steak but it did not blow him away and we think that we could have a similar meal at longhorn steakhouse for a lot less money. I cannot remember how much we spent here but I think it was around $160 and we score it 6.5/10

How bad was your service at Le Cellier! I'm so glad it's not on my must do list ( we aren't steak lovers ).
I wasn't impressed with Planet Hollywood either but we all really loved T Rex, my DD's made a dinosaur and it brings the memories flooding back every time I see them.
Loving your food report.

The service was ok but not fantastic, I think the server had too many tables to wait to be honest.

T-Rex was a surprise for us as we thought the themed restaurants would be the ones with less tasty food - how wrong we were!

There are not many places for breakfast at universal so we decided to have a snack to tide us over until lunch - I went for a corn dog and Dan had a hotdog and these were bought from a stall near to rip ride rocket. I don't really have anything either negative or positive to say about this it really was just ok and for sustenance only - one thing I will say though is that this was my first corn dog and I was surprised how sweet it was. 6/10 - this was around $14

This was a surprise for us - being a huge Harry Potter fan I thought that we should eat here for the theming and scenery and not so much the food - well both the scenery the food was really good - so much so we would say on par with T-Rex.

As you walk in you are placed into a queue to go to the counter, you order your food there and they give you a candlestick, you then walk over to a cm and they take you to your table with your drinks and then your food is brought over to you - this is classed as a counter service restaurant but the staff still wait on you.

We ordered a frozen butter beer to share, I had fish and chips and Dan had the bangers and mash.

I would rate this as a 8.5/10 and we only paid $34 - great value for the money
