Price: Expensive
• Unspecified • Lower East Side
Booked 112 times today
Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant’s entrance, a well-curated modern-day pawn shop replete with a saxophone, boom­box, quirky artifacts, vintage treasures, and an eclectic array of “one-off” pieces of jewelry. Continuing past the pawnshop, guests encounter a grand, circular staircase wrapped around a two-story custom chandelier, but only the adventurous will discover all that Beauty & Essex has to offer. With four distinct dining rooms (one private), two bars, a lounge, and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon including a luxurious sofa, and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.

    What a great spot for a delicious Italian meal! It was busy and loud but a fun environment! We took our kids and it was a great atmosphere for them. All of the dishes are served family style. We ordered a salad, chicken parmigiana, meatballs and spaghetti and Alfredo. It was PLENTY for the 4 of us - we couldn’t eat it all but the Alfredo! Yall - I don’t normally like Alfredo but that! Delicious! We wanted dessert but just couldn’t do it! Next time!

    We shared a dish of penne with marinara sauce and added in some chicken for an addtl charge . Everything was so delicious. The portions are absolutely huge. They bring a great bread basket to the table with a variety of homemade breads - all delicious as well. Prices are reasonable considering the portions and quality. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. You won’t be sorry.
