- IInezNew York City •11 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIt was a birthday celebration and we had a GREAT time! The atmosphere was perfect; we were seated right under the sky light. The service was great; Billy was excellent, but his shift was over before we were done and his sub was not nearly as seasoned. It didn't put a damper on our experience, but it was noticeable. The additional support wait staff also did a great job; never had to ask for water, dishes to be removed, etc... The pre fixe brunch offerings met the needs of all the guests. However, it is worth noting that the short rib option is REALLY miniature! Almost comical...😅 The guests who had it did say it was good. The complimentary coconut milk mocha shot was a nice touch, and appreciated. We also ordered the Wonder Wheel; an assortment of miniature pastries. Tasty and enough for our table of 12! Overall, we had a great time and many are already planning to return for a date night! Many thanks for cutting and serving the birthday cake without a fee involved! That was an exemplary display of customer service.More infoBeauty & Essex- New YorkPrice: Expensive• undefined• Lower East Side•4.6

Discover East Village
The East Village was once the heart of New York counterculture. Poets, artists, punk rockers and people who lived against the grain gravitated to St. Mark’s Place, perhaps the most well-known street neighboring Tompkins Square Park. Today, the original character of the place remains, but there’s an abundance of trendy eateries and fast-casual restaurants that take some of the edge out of the place. Still, charming tiny restaurants serving upscale, rustic fare add dimension to the multilayered neighborhood.
