    The food was phenomenal! There were so many choices. I can’t wait to go back and try the things that we didn’t get this trip! We ate at Hell’s Kitchen the night before and let me just tell you, there is no comparison to the two! Beauty and Essex would definitely be my 1st choice!!

    We had a lovely time at Beauty & Essex. We were celebrating our anniversary and I think everyone we spoke to congratulated us. We had a lovely table in a little nook and the decor is absolutely gorgeous. All our food was incredible. The drinks were divine. We were surprised with cake pops for our anniversary which we were not expecting at all and they were super decadent and a lovely top off to the meal.

    This had very high reviews from a friend so we selected Beauty and Essex and it was a big disappointment. We had Tao and Nomad Library the two nights before and they were far superior in every regard. The server did a fine job. We felt like paid attention to but in terms of her warm and connection, nothign like the waiters we had at other two places - though the backup gentleman was outstanding. put him on the frontline! Ambiance was cool, but a notch below the other two. The food was the real disappointment. teh selections were fine, not great, but interesting enough. the salmon dish was just not good. no good taste and a bit overdone. the yellowfish crudo was pretty good but not outstanding. overall, the food at the other two places was markedly better than B and E. and the servers we had really connected at other two places to make a fanatstic experience. Vegas clearly has other options than B and E if you can get in there. i won't try B and E again but i would definitely go back to the other two. that's the difference right there.

    This place was so good we went back a second night! The food, decor, waiters and just everything was perfect! Highly recommend the chicken meatballs, braised pork belly, broccolini, Mac and cheese, the tomato soup dumplings, and for an alcoholic beverage that’s not overly sweet and helps settle the stomach the Pandora’s folly was great! I will be back next time I’m in Vegas for sure!

    This is definitely an experience! It's beautiful, dark, and sexy! You order all at once, and yet everything comes out as shareable plates in the middle of the table...so awesome, especially if you want to try everything. I think every restaurant should be setup like this. They even swapped out our plates and silverware 3 times, Wow! Excellent service. We will be back!

    We have historically loved this restaurant but unfortunately the service recently has been atrocious. There was a wait when we arrived for our reservation yesterday so we grabbed some cocktails at the bar. Upon being seated our server cleared our cocktails we brought over from the bar when nobody was finished with their drinks. When we mentioned something to her, her attitude completely changed, she barely came back to our table, wouldn’t communicate with us… this restaurant really should have excellent service levels and unfortunately it lacked by more than a little this last time and the past few times we’ve been in. Probably will pick another option at Cosmo or close by next time.

    We have been before for our wedding rehearsal two years ago and the food and service was TOP NOTCH. Unfortunately we return and it was not it. Our server made us feel rushed, at times would talk to us like we were dumb. We had to wait a while just to get her attention, the extra help she had was the only saving grace. The food was like warm at best, just overall eh. Wasn’t a good night for the restaurant.

    The dishes we had were good and the restaurant was beautiful. Disappointed by the number of non-spicy options, and more so our waitress’s unwillingness to help identify good options for us. At that price point, one expects impeccable service.

    Everything about Beauty & Essex makes it a must go restaurant. The food was delicious and the cocktails excellent. Our waitress Jess made the perfect recommendations and modifications to our cocktails, as if she’d known our tastes forever. I went for a casual dinner with a friend but this could easily be a great celebration spot or date night place. The dishes are mostly made to share, so come hungry and try as many as you can! The crudo is a must, Brussels sprouts were delicious and the grilled cheese dumplings were so good! Save room for dessert!

    We celebrated here with our family after getting married. We had a really good time. From our wait staff, the ambience, to the food everything was perfect! We tried the tomato soup dumplings, mini beef dip, the pulled pork, cauliflower tacos, the bone marrow so many things. Everything came out as it was ready, so we had time to adjust our stomachs. The dessert wheel was so adorable.
