Another vote here, for the fillet. As Tricia1972 said, "You can cut it with a fork." My hubby would vote for the NY Strip only because it is larger! Although, I think this time I am going to sub the risotto for mash potatos.

When there in September, I had the filet as did my DH and one of our friends had the NY Strip...we were able to cut all with just a fork--we were all in heaven. I would say go with which ever cut is your favorite.
The filet is tenderer but the NY Strip at Le Cellier has so much more flavor. I'm torn between them but I think on my next trip I'll have the NY Strip.
We were there last March and normally I'd order the filet. But because it featured dreaded mushrooms I ordered the NY Strip. I was really happy I did. It was very flavorful and it looked better than the filet. Plus, if you have an appetite, it's a larger cut of meat.
Just thinking about the filet right now makes my mouth water. I was afraid that they might overcook it, but it was perfect! I substituted cream cheese mashed potatoes for the risotto. To die for!
