It looks to us like the menu has changed. The beef filet seems to have been replaced with a strip steak. This is always our first meal of our trip and now we aren’t sure if we should go or not. Does anyone know if this is the case?

We've always enjoyed this restaurant, I took three years of French in high school. With the third year, I had to speak only in French. It was always nice speaking to the waiters and waitresses in French. Not sure about the strip steak being replaced by the beef filet. Have you considered the Boathouse. It is at Disney Springs, but they have great food as well....
We enjoy the boathouse also. Le chef’s has just always been our first night tradition. But my kids always get the filet. My son isn’t an adventurous eater so he always orders the same thing, and he isn’t a fan of strip steak.
Anyone been the last week and know for sure? Or have any more info?

They were still really good when they reopened after the 'vid, but over the last few years we've noticed that while the staffing was still wonderful and attentive, the food quality has declined.

Ah the ubiquitous "Disney Strip Steak".Found on nearly every sit down restaurant in WDW....sigh
Has anyone been lately to confirm? Of course the photo that comes up for reservations is still the filet.

A strip steak is one of the best cuts you can get -- arguably better than a filet.
That said, I doubt Disney is splurging on high quality strip steaks. A $47 strip with the Disney mark-up is probably no better than mid-tier chain steakhouse quality.
Not that it matters since the OP's issue was that his son only wants a filet, which I understand because that was the only steak I ever ordered as a kid too.

Looks like Le Cellier and Space 220 are the only places in EPCOT to find a filet now. (Link to the touringplans menu search tool below, in case you want to check other locations.)

Filets can be very hit or miss, IMHO. Because they are so low in fat content, they don't have much inherent flavor and have to be prepared properly. Depends on the restaurant.
Strip steaks are generally far more consistent but, as another poster said, I seriously doubt at that price that Disney has sprung for really good strip steak.
