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.

    ordered five items to share - Taramasalata, brussels, lamb kebob, asparagus and shrimp with dill. I have never had the taramasalata here before and while this was good, i had higher expectations. I think i just prefer the taramasalata that I get from my local greek restaurant, The Olive Tree in Honolulu , this was much creamier and I prefer the distinct texture of the fish roe in the one i know and like better. with the exception of some tough ends of asparagus that i had to cut off, everything else was amazing. service was great, it was busy as usual and the noise level is above moderate. I have always had exceptional experiences at Zaytinya in DC and once previously at this location in May. This was the first time I wasn't totally gushing about everything but it's still amazing and Zaytinya is still one of my all time favorite restaurants ever. David was my server back in May and again this trip - he was fabulous!
