Amazing experience and great atmosphere

Great ambience, a very cool spot for a celebration.

Quick to cancel a reservation if you’re 15 min late, despite them not seating until almost 30 minutes after original reservation. The hostess said she couldn’t accommodate us, but I went on opentable and saw they still had multiple reservations - including one in 15 minutes. Very meh service.

Cool place. Only issue is you pay to hold your reservation but your reservation is not honored when you arrive on time. Waited 30 minutes to be sat. Also it’s noted that the $10pp to hold your reservation will be deducted from your bill but it is not deducted automatically, at least mine was not. Will have to call to get this rectified. But amazing service even in such a packed place , our waitress was great made the whole experience worth it.

The food was amazing! The ambiance was next level! Our server was one of the best I’ve had in the city! Highly recommend

We stated on our reservation that we were celebrating a special occasion and received zero acknowledgement. The food was terrible - the burger was burnt and the bread was stale. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Mini moon dinner

Great vibe and overall fun experience. Service was awesome.

Great spot. Perfect to surprise some one if they never heard of the place.

Totally cool place. Waitress was knowledgeable. Good outstanding. Even the bathroom was cool and smelled delicious. Pawn shop as you enter! Fun!

Food is fantastic. The tomato soup is a must. Our server was perfect for the occasion. She gave great recommendations and directed us towards a great evening.

A wonderful experience with excellent food, drink and a wait staff eager to please. Ambiance at it’s best!

LOUD and fun!

Great vibe, a bit pricey, but overall would recommend! The drinks were really good!

This was the second visit and last visit. The first time was amazing, and I always raved about my experience with friend and boyfriend, so I planned a special date night on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the rudeness from one particular server ruined the whole experience. The round table across from us, was over capacity and of their guest had their chair out, blocking the walking path. Most waitstaff and guests realized that there was no room to squeeze, so they walked around and used the other path. However, one particular server decided that his conveniece was worth the trouble, and keep squeezing and bumping into my boyfriend's chair though-out the night. Instead of approaching the large party and asking the other person to move their chair forward, they opted to lean into my boyfriend's chair every few minutes. For an upscale casual restaurant, were our check was over $300, I really expected better service. The busser also used the same dirty wet towel to clean tables, which made me questions their santination practices. We will certaintly not be returning to this place.

Let's just say that the Tuna Poke Wonton Tacos are out of this world amazing but why $19 for three. I love this place and the food is AMAZING but the prices for what you get sour me (as much as OpenTable keeps neglecting to give points per reservation). The staff was also AMAZING as well. You will not go wrong going here for an super meal, just make sure you have enough room on your credit card.

Entire experiences was wonderful,Service was outstanding!

I love this place! Very classy and the food is amazing!

Birthday Dinner

Rowen was an amazing server for my best friend’s bachelorette bash! Go to Beauty & Essex!

Amazing all around

I have been here several times. Really enjoy the food, service, & experience. I had family in town & wanted them to experience something quintessential New York. They loved it it as well. We ordered several dishes & cocktails. They were all delicious! Love the experience of Beauty & Essex. Will definitely be back again

It was packed, a little too packed. The ambiance was everything I wanted, the service was decent, and the food was great. I’d go again but maybe not on a Friday night.

Great aesthetic & creative cuisine. Superb NY experience!

Very cool inside and the food was amazing!

It was for my 30th birthday and I enjoyed all the food. The only thing that was not perfect was having an aggressive waitress that made it clear she wanted us to just eat fast so she could turn over the table. Just try to order a few dishes at a time to not eat too fast.

Music too loud left with a sore throat

Great place to enjoy a night out on the town and do it up right!!!!!

Awesome night celebrating with friends. Food was delicious and didn't have to wait although it was pretty packed. Great ambience. Was looking forward to champagne in the ladies lounge but no one was on duty. Only downer was our table for six was a little cramped. Having a reservation should eliminate this but not sure what happened. Overall great food, good time and great service. Kudos to Nadia and the great service.

Awesome experience. Will recommend! The ambiance and service was exactly what I imagined for my wife’s birthday w/end

Absolutely loved it! I was out with a group of friends and the energy in Beauty and Essex was felt immediately when we got there which was awesome. The food was terrific! I had myself barbecue fries and ordered the Peruvian chicken, and the black tie white noise drink, definitely recommend it! Also, our waiter Kim was so patient and so welcoming to all of us, she helped make our evening so enjoyable which was very much appreciated.

Awesome place. Food and ambiance outstanding. The type of place you visit New York to dine.

Good overall experience! Enjoyed meal, drinks, and service. Music could be louder and vibrant. Other diners were poorly dressed. Needs to attract a more upscale /dressier crowd.

The place is gorgeous ! The women’s bathroom is beautiful.
Service is outstanding .

Food was very good - creative dishes and cocktails! The noise level and music were a bit loud but it goes along with the scene.

Love having small plates to taste a lot of different things!

Cool vibes, happy hour menu, great staff and music on point

I came for my 30th birthday. Everything was really nice! The hospitality and service was on point. I really enjoyed having many appetizers so I can try many times. Upscale and classy!

Upscale and energetic dining. Excellent food and service.

We were seated approximately 10 inches from two other couples. It looked as if they had overbooked and squeezed tables where they could. We ordered the beef Wellington, only for it to come out raw. The saw was white and goopy and the meat wasn’t high quality. I ordered the onion rings and they were undercooked. We told our waitress and she was genuinely apologetic and they let us order something else. The food was decent but underdone but at that point, we were over it. They did give us a free order or green beans and fried eggplant which was… nice? The eggplant was surprisingly good, but like… you couldn’t slide me a dessert? The cocktails were TERRIBLE. Their speciality cocktails, specifically. But I did order my cocktail of choice since I had not enjoyed the one I ordered and somehow they messed that up. The staff was kind and so I can’t complain too much but I wouldn’t waste my time. If you want some cute Instagram pictures and are willing to spend an upwards of $100+ per person, this is the place of you.
