Beauty & Essex - New York

“Such a fun experience! Came to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The best lamb I’ve had in a long time! The soup dumplings and scallops were also both really good. Our waiter was amazing and made our night really wonderful. We’ll be back!”

“I recently visited Beauty & Essex and wanted to leave a review because the experience was exceptional. From the ambience to the service and meal, I had a lovely experience. The food was excellent from start to finish. Every dish was delicious, beautifully prepared, and worth talking about long after dinner. That was a meal I won’t forget, especially the lamb chops. What made the night even more special was the service. Our waitress was wonderful and attentive, and there were two women assisting her who went far beyond what anyone would normally expect. It meant a lot and did not go unnoticed. The whole staff was attentive, warm, and on top of everything all night. Water glasses stayed full, plates were cleared quickly, and everything flowed so smoothly. You can tell when people truly care about the guest experience, and that was felt here. Thank you to the entire team for making it such a memorable evening. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it.”

“Visited Beauty and Essex on a birthday trip to NYC. Nestled behind a pawn shop, I had no idea what to expect when we walked through the doors. Absolutely beautiful, cozy space. Service was top notch. My only complaint is that it’s not ideal for unadventurous eaters like myself. The food we did have was great, all shareable bites. Truffle Mac was a bit rich for my stomach. Tomato and grilled cheese dumplings were soooo good. We also had the French dip and I asked if the aus jus had onions in it. They said yes but it didn’t seem to when the plate arrived. Drinks were delicious. I’d definitely go back!”

“Came here on Valentine’s Day for the dinner and very delicious drinks. My only complaint is ofcourse the portions. I’m not sure if I’m the issue and my American brain is used to larger individual portions but I just felt like if it’s going to be “family style” then the portions should be a bit larger. The food tasted fantastic though and the drinks are honesty unbelievably delicious. They make the best espresso martini’s in all of nyc”
