Beauty & Essex- New York

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in New York

A bit expensive compared to what we get
We were sat in the 1st room and we were very closed to other tables, with a lot of noises
Not really pratictal to talk with each other and stay long in the restaurant.
The food is great

The waiter was good with menu but not very interactive.

My BFF took me for my birthday and it was exactly the fun were used to! Awesome cocktails, food was dee-lish, however atmosphere was EVERYTHING!
Definitely need to get a date to go with next time. Loved it.

Great service at bar and at dinner. They have a smooth operation

Very cool vibe + decor in the restaurant. Very loud, many large parties, very crammed space, “something for everyone” style menu, indifferent service, restroom dark + filthy.

After going to the one in Las Vegas we had a high expectation of the restaurant.. we were celebrating a friends 40th birthday and brought her from Uk to NYC for weekend. Everything was nice maybe even really good but just not excellent. We seemed to be seated with all the families and even though we had made a great effort to dress up for the occasion the space we were in lacked atmosphere. We would come back but maybe ask to be downstairs/

Excellent service great cocktails. And outstanding food. Waiters guided us correctly so that we did not over order.

Ambience is always reliable but food is lacking flavor.

This place has gone down down hill since it's been open for some time now, our server was not helpful and rude. I've been multiple times in the last 6 years and this was definitely my last visit. They do not care about a good customer experience because they are so busy all the time.

Not as we remembered but nice enough. More fur coat no knickers kind of place. Service too quick and $200 gone before you know it.

Food was excellent. Had to order more Tuna Poke Wonton Tacos because they were just sooo good. Plates perfect for sharing which meant we got to try many options. Save room for desert.
Service was great. Waiter was there when we needed him but he didn't hover. He made great recommendations when we couldn't decide between two or three and knew the items on the menu.
opulent atmosphere. Not quite over the top. Noisy but could hear each other over the table without yelling and could not hear other tables even though we were very close.
Bathrooms in the basement.

Food was fine, service was poor. Server was rude, side tracked and lacked personality.

Food was very good. Good for big croup. We had a party of 7 and they will be able to split the portion for each of us. We are celebrating one of our girl friend’s birthday. They provided a complementary cup cake for her. Over all I will go back again.

Traveled to NYC to visit son. Enjoyed our meal and the ambience.

Hreat Place and service, but smelled odd and the food was hot and miss. Great eggplant pizzeta and NY doughnuts but blah Eggs benedict

We had made reservations and when we arrived we were seated right away. It was a lively vibe, without being to loud. Our waiter was great and so friendly. I would say the entrees are more of a tapas style in serving. Everything was delish. I would recommend👍🏼

Was excited to go and left disappointed. So terribly loud everyone was shouting at their tables. Service was mediocre at best. Had to ask for clean plates and silverware from app to main course. Server barely checked on us and took forever

Absolutely amazing! Highlight of our trip, so happy we were recommended to this place! Highly recommended

Ambiance and cocktails are high end but food is so so, good presentation but not delicious, nothing special

I made a reservation but when we arrive the table was not available and we had to wait for 1hour to get the table. Plus they gave us a tiny table for 5 people. Disappointed about the service.

Fabulous! Great place, loved the food.

Terrific atmosphere and service. Food was good. Great NYC experience. So glad to have gone.

Just wow. I knew what to expect when I booked it but it still had the wow factor. Everything was perfect.

La viande infecte immangeable et je la rendu et la hôtesse n’a pas proposé de la changer

This restaurant was everything I expected & more! I had high hopes and everything was definitely worth the hype!

A wonderful, romantic meal out with my husband. Beautiful venue and lovely low lighting which really set the scene. The food could not be faulted! Although lamb chops could have come with some kind of side, it was still delicious! Perhaps an upsell from staff would have helped - to suggest some greens for example. The only slight downside was that people were wearing baseball caps and hoods (yes, hoods on hoodies were being worn) in an otherwise very classy place which was made to feel quite exclusive. Even if trainers are allowed it killed the ambience a bit too much for hoods and caps to be on. A little more light in the restroom would have been good - had to use a phone torch to see what I was doing

My experience started with my drinks at the bar, I had The Woodsman and my wife had a Emerald Gimlet, both drinks were outstanding and the bartender was very engaging while we waited for our table. The meal took our experience to another level, we began with the delicious fish tacos that were heavenly. I followed that with the lobster mac-n-cheese while my wife dined on Seared Scallops. I also tried Ginger Marinated Portabella Mushrooms and BBQ fries both were equally delicious. The atmosphere was fine dining in a lounge setting but without the loud talking, everyone kept their conversations to their table. I will definitely dine there again. The staff is on their "A" game.

I think it is a little expensive for what you get
But great food and experience

I love bringing guest here, the music is always good ( R/B) and the service is great. Can't beat the ambiance.

Very good😃

Went for wife’s birthday. Service was excellent. Waiter very friendly and Attentive. Food was real good and atmosphere was hip.

Celebrating my sister and her husband's anniversary trip to NYC to visit us! This place was perfect. Loved eating in the LV location and this one definitely measured up. Our server Andrew WAS AMAZING. He was fun and interactive, helped us with the menu and drinks! He checked on us over and over, but I think he secretly liked our table. We were fun for him too! The Wonder Wheel dessert came to the table and when asked the server brought it in a second time for us to get a good photo! SO MUCH FUN! Before dinner we had cocktails at the first floor bar and after dinner we went upstairs to the bar with a DJ, overall just a great night! We will return soon.

Excellent food, service and overall ambience. Will return.

Great atmosphere

Recently celebrated my birthday at Beauty & Essex. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with natural lighting and nice seating options no matter where you are seated. The food was not my favorite aspect as my main course was salty and I could not finish it. I did enjoy my side dish of lobster and chorizo potatoes as well as my pancake appetizer! Drinks were also pretty good. My server was not very present and ignored my friends and me throughout, which was annoying. There is a fun photo booth upon entering the restaurant to make memories. I would recommend this restaurant for people who like a relaxed ambiance with a beautiful decor and are not picky about food or overall service.

Delicious food and a beautiful decor.

Went for Saturday brunch in a group of 5. Our waiter advised us that most people get 8-10 dishes to share, so we did. In addition to the usual leftovers one would expect, we walked away with two whole sandwiches and two sides of fries. The food was delicious, but you should probably confirm portion size with your server before doing what they recommend.

Amazing experience!! We will be coming back for sure!

A Wedding Dress shopping weekend is always more fun when you start with amazing drinks and great food at Beauty & Essex!👰🏻💕
