About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Hot spot
Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the Pawn Shop, complete with vintage treasures and curated contemporary pieces. The host greets you in the Jewelry Box and takes you past upholstered walls into the Pearl Lounge and bar. Then you’ll find the Peacock Dining Room and the Locket Private Dining Room separated by a screen wall of antique frames. Each of these rooms are inspired by the delicate yet glamorous details of jewelry.

The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course with unique shareable dishes and twists on classic cocktails. Acclaimed chef and co-creator 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.

    Karen ordered scallops only to have the server return after a few minutes to say that they weren't available. There ensued some confused conversation because Karen thought they said salad. It was difficult to hear over the rap music playing. IMO the server should have known that the scallops were unavailable before they start taking orders. Also the decor and atmosphere didn't fit with the rap music.

    Incredible! Cannot come up with one detail to criticize, very unlike me. Beef Wellington, Lamb and tomato soup were amazing!

    We were expecting this to be a very nice elegant dining experience. It has high end prices but falls shot in most areas. One of the big issues is dress code. We were sat one table away from a man eating alone with a baseball cap on and his large backpack sitting on a seat. Not very elegant when you are dropping $60+ for entrees. Food was average, cook of steak wasn’t as ordered and a wait person should never pick up the paid check until the guest has left. Not a great experience.

    We started with the sishito peppers, which were very good. I had the beef Wellington, which was slightly more cooked than I prefer but good. Unfortunately, like almost everything we had, too much salt was used. My wife had the lamb chops. Again, too much salt. Our side was Miso Glazed Eggplant. Very good. For dessert we shared the black forrest cherries. We didn't't expect what came out., basically vanilla mousse with a cherry glaze covering. we expected real sherries. Our server did a very good job. We have dined at their Las Vegas location in the Cosmopolitan. This was our first time here, we'll try again.

    Prices are a bit high for the “shareable” portions but everything tastes good. Service could have been a little faster given the restaurant wasn’t crowded but wasn’t bad by any means
