| - Even though place has tons of reviews on Yelp, I always feel as if this restaurant is way underappreciated when it comes to the general public. Whenever the topic of great Vegas steakhouses comes up, I seem to be the only one touting Envy. My husband and I have dined here 4-5 times, and each time with the exception of Valentines day the restaurant has been practically empty.
Envy is one of my favorite steak restaurants in Vegas so far. I'm extremely picky about the way my steak is cooked (mostly medium rare with a strip of cool red in the middle), and they've never gotten it wrong. Steak-wise I generally go for the enormous bone-in ribeye while my husband goes for the more conservative filet mignon. Both are cooked deliciously and always served with 3 different types of hawaiian salt. Who knew that black salt tastes so different from red salt? And both so wonderfully delicious.
I can't do a review about Envy without talking about the sides, though. The number one shining star here are the truffle fries. If you love truffles, your arteries will die happy eating these. In fact, if you're not interested in dropping $50-80 a person, you can actually call in a to-go order of truffle fries for only $10 (and the portions are HUGE), just to check out their flavor. Sometimes you just need some truffle fries.
My reviews of this place would probably be useless to non-truffle lovers, because my two other favorite side dishes at this fine establishment are the truffle macaroni and the truffle mashed potatoes. Depending on when you go, one or the other may or may not be on the menu, but you can always ask if the chef is making it that day. They're totally worth it.
The portions at Envy are always gigantic, and the value is wonderful. Add that together with the fact that you can get a Restaurant.com coupon for $75 off of $150, there really is no better value for the taste in Las Vegas. Really.
