ENVY didn’t hit a false note all evening.

The restaurant is located inside the Renaissance Hotel on Paradise Rd, and right next door to the Las Vegas Convention Center. The decor inside is nice, it’s casual yet elegant.  Comfortable seating with plenty of room between tables unlike some places where they are crammed together.

The Cantonese Cocktail

I started my dinner with a cocktail from their inventive, lounge menu.  THE CANTONESE  ( $10) which was Stoli Vodka, Domaine De Canton Ginger Liqueur, Fresh Lemon Juice, Hand‐Extracted Strawberry Juice and garnished with a fresh strawberry.  Delicious.

Black Pepper Calamari/Rock Shrimp

For an appetizer we ordered the Black Pepper Calamari and Rock Shrimp combo with came with a  Ginger-Mirin Aioli and a Marinara sauce.  The calamari was tender, the dish was pretty greaseless and everything tasted great.

Classic Caesar Salad

I wanted to try the Classic Caesar Salad that consisted of tender Romaine Leaves, a White Anchovy draped over the dressed Romaine and garnished with a tasty Black Pepper Crouton.  Just the right amount of dressing that was spot on as far as Caesar Salad was concerned.

Chopped Salad

Vic had the BLT Wedge Salad which had  Iceberg lettuce, Bacon, Tomato, Red Onion and was dressed with a  Tangy Tomato &
Tarragon Dressing.  He loved it.

ENVY's Bread Basket

Even the bread basket was good:  a white artisan-type loaf, a walnut  white chocolate bread and grissini.

Sea Salts

Then our waiter (Josh was an excellent server) brought a tray of three different sea salts out for our dinner.  One of them was a smoked salt that was a standout on the steak.

We decided to split an entree as we were full at this point…Josh split it for us.  With the bone-in ribeye…we ordered the Maker’s Mark bourbon creamed corn… and the Truffle-Reggiano Fries.

Thank goodness we decided to split the steak…everything was so, so good that we kept eating even tho we were stuffed.

Truffle Parmesan Fries

Fries first.  Hugh (enough for a table of four), hot, crispy, with Parmesan sprinkled lightly on top and scented with truffle oil.  Addictive.

Makers Mark Bourbon Creamed Corn

Creamed corn…wonderful dish, probably their most popular side.  Sweet, creamy yet the corn retains it’s texture….

Bone-In Ribeye

Finally the Ribeye.  Again, just melt in your mouth tenderness and lots of beefy flavor.  Cooked perfectly and served with a mushroom jus.   We ordered two glasses (Cab I think) to go with the meat and just enjoyed the rest of our delicious dinner at ENVY.
