Beauty & Essex

"Beauty and Essex showcases what a great dining night should be with a touch of exploration. We went during restaurant week and was given these specific menus but given the option of we wanted anything else outside of the pre-fixed menu. It’s a speakeasy that opens up to beautifully decorated interior restaurant that stands out. Let’s start off with the food. The food is great! There are specific standouts here that I should mention. The Thai style deep fried shrimp 🍤, it’s so crunchy and delicious. It’s an explosion of seer and savory that lots of restaurants cannot get right and this one does 🙂. The sauce. Nuff said. The grilled cheese, smoke bacon and tomato soup dumplings were also very delicious and soupy. The Mac and cheese was very good and wasn’t so overwhelming. The lamb chops were tender and nicely season and the wine reduction gave it a nice sweet finish with the mash potatoes. The strawberry shortcake shots was delicious and not super sweet. The Garden Party drink is probably one of the best I’ve had. The taste I can’t describe but sweet, creamy almost coquito like. Highly recommend! "

"Hidden beyond a pawn shop (yep, you read that right) is Beauty & Essex, a sexy speakeasy-restaurant that attracts a steady stream of trendy people looking to splurge their paychecks. Low lighting, dark leather, and a fair amount of velvet upholstery create a swish vibe, which is matched by decadent American small plates. It’s the perfect blowout place for high days and holidays.   Don’t leave without visiting the ladies’ bathroom (sorry boys), where there’s a tiny champagne bar serving complimentary bubbly all nigh t."

"Fun dinner place in LES, amazing food. Must try: grilled cheese tomato soup dumplings (actually unreal, so unique, have never had something like this before). Oven-braised chicken meatballs were also amazing w truffle, wild mushroom, & ricotta. Enjoyed the Thai style deep fried shrimp as well & the cacio e Pepe Mac and cheese with bread crumbs. Very fun environment, loud music, clubby, dressy. Reminds me of going to dinner at catch. "
