 | 	- This review is long overdue and I have nothing but great things to say about Envy. I've eaten here about three times with my girlfriend and our friends. Each time we visit Envy,  we're never disappointed because the service is on point, the food is always fantastic and the wine list is amazing. A great experience each and every time and I have the staff at Envy to thank. 
Let's talk about seating. In normal restaurants, tables and booths are set up to seat about 4 or 5 people per table/booth. I think we can agree on that. At Envy, every table and booth is set to seat about 6 - 8 people. Well, for people like me who enjoy dining with good company, it means a lot to me that a little detail like this is taken into account of what a good dining experience should be. At the end of the day, it is about how the food tastes but when you get to share with a group of friends, it somehow makes your food taste that much better. Also, it's nice to have all that space so you can keep ordering food and alcohol!
Now, let's get to the food. The bone-in rib-eye is phenomenal. It's huge, a bit pricey, and is cooked to order. I like ordering my meat medium rare because I think the texture and flavor is better when ordered as such. As far as your sides go, don't leave without ordering the truffle-regiano fries and bacon gruyere mashed potatoes. SOOOO EFFFFING DELICIOUS! We order at least two orders of the fries and mashed potatoes because they are pretty damn addicting to say the least and because it really is that damn good.
The staff itself is very accommodating. There were visits where we had to change our reservation from six people to eight... or ten people to seven... and whoever was answering the phone was always so pleasant and easy to deal with. Our waiters were always coming by the table to check on us to refill waters and bread. Gotta love that!
There are plenty of other steakhouses that need to be visited -- like Cut, Del Frisco's, Brand -- but it's nice to know that if shit goes down at any of those places, Envy is always waiting for me.
