My mom and I booked Envy for their New Year's Eve tasting menu. The place was packed when we…read morearrived for our 9:15pm reservations, but we were warmly greeted by the kind hostess who doubled as waitress throughout the night. Our waiter so sweet and was as attentive as he possibly could be given the chaos of the evening. Every table was full and the kitchen was working their butt off. I'll summarize each course: Bread and Butter: Amazing and we managed to finish the whole loaf by our 3rd course. Mackerel with Kale: This was tasty, especially the crispy roasted Kale Potato with Eel: The sauce was very flavorful, but there was only 2 small pieces of eel. Halibut with Fermented Mushroom: I enjoyed this, the halibut was so buttery and creamy. Deer with Cauliflower: I've never had deer before, but this was dIfficult to cut through. It was cooked medium rare and had a very slight gamey taste, but still good. The cauliflower had roasted macadamia nuts on top that was to die for. Cheese Plate: The server dropped this off without explaining what was on the plate. I'm guessing it was Brie, Bleu and some other hard cheese. I don't know what the other two dipping jams were, but they were good. Prickly Pear Sorbet Dessert: The presentation was beautiful, but I felt like there were too many flavors going on to really enjoy it. Envy is best reserved for a special occasion and I would definitely come back for a regular dinner to try their traditional tasting menu. It was a great spot to spend the New Year as the crowd was fun and friendly.

Excellent Food and Service. Everything was fresh and creative. A must try when in Amsterdam. Note…read morethe restaurant has changed its name.
