Beauty & Essex

Went for dinner with my girl friend. It’s beautiful as u enter. Reservation is required. Since we both are eaters we asked the server to move us to bigger table. The food was amazing. Every item we ordered was divine & worth every penny. We ordered double as the portions are very small. Chelsea our server was amazing. Very sweet & friendly. The drinks were super good too. Definitely going back. Need to try other dishes.

Bring a date here! Beautiful, lavish ambiance. I did not like how loud the music got as it got later, so I would come more to the early hours of the night. The drinks are very good also. The food is overall good, with a shareables menu. Mu table ordered a bunch of items, as seen by the pictures below. There were more OK dishes than excellent ones, but it was good tasting experience. The fish dishes, like the tuna tacos and the shrimp are the highlights. The meat dishes and desserts were not at the same level, but still nice. Would come back if wanting to wow someone with a classy place.

We went there yesterday for the brunch, and everything is good.people are very friendly the food were delicious. The drink I order is the best whitxh is call garden city. it good to have a party in here too.and they have plenty of seat for large groups. Highly recommend this restaurant. We enjoyed our brunch and will be back again for dinner soon.

If you’re looking for a cool dining experience, this is the place. I give the restaurant experience 5 stars, and the food experience 3 stars. As you walk in the entrance, it looks like a pawn shop. Walk through the next door and you enter into a hip, low-lit restaurant with a beautiful chandelier. The ambience is incredible! I got the Essex Burger. Don’t expect it to be like a normal burger — the patty is a grounded combination of lamb, short rib, and brisket. It made for a one-of-a-kind flavor. Mashed potatoes were incredible! The tomato basil grilled cheese dumplings were so unique. Fun to try! Chicken meatballs were also good. I give the food 3 stars because although it was a new mix of flavors, I personally didn’t love the dishes but others might. It didn’t knock my socks off. All in all, this place is worth trying!

I had no idea where I was going as I entered the pawn-inspired retail shop. My boyfriend surprised me with the location to celebrate my birthday at this fantastic restaurant. The food is delicious, and I loved the secrecy and speakeasy feel of the place. The restaurant decor and ambiance were perfect for a cute sexy date or a celebration like we had. I have recommended it to many friends, and all love it. The drinks, appetizers, and the desert are simply exquisite. A must-visit if you are in the area.

Ambiance and decor were great, service was good, not rushed at all. Beautiful booths, light fixtures, dim lighting. Came for restaurant week early Friday evening. We didn’t try the cocktails. The kale & apple salad, grilled cheese soup dumplings, and pizza were all delicious. Wasn’t a big fan of the salmon, ice cream sundae, or doughnuts. They were average, nothing special, and the salmon dish tasted odd, maybe it was the sauce. Bathroom downstairs is very nice, and there is more seating upstairs, plus an area for parties/events.

We came here for my birthday and had an amazing time. The service was excellent and the place is simply gorgeous. Glad I read about the unique entrance! It can get a bit chaotic in the entrance and bar, but once seated you get to take the entire place in. I was told they used to serve champagne in the women's bathroom, but they've sadly stopped this. The food was delicious as well. Overall we had such a blast! Highly recommend to celebrate a special event!

The Beauty&Essex is really a special location. Already the entrance is extravagant and in the first moment you don't expect a restaurant behind it. The food was very tasty and beautifully arranged. From the service of the staff there is nothing to complain about, all very friendly, as it should be. There is one star deduction, because our place was very drafty and it was sometimes just too cold. It must have been the same for other guests, as many left their jackets/sweaters on. Overall, though, a nice experience that could have been perfect if it hadn't been quite so chilled down.
