   It’s a bar / club with limited menu. It’s a bit noisy so it’s very much a social venue to hang out with friends. Menu may be limited but food was very good. They also serve creative specialty cocktails.

   Food here is basic but good and solid drinking food. Music is fab, lots of hip hop/rnb. There was a 20 min section of dance/electro music which wasn’t as good but otherwise mostly hip hop & rnb which was great. To be fair the music was what kept us as long as we stayed.. unfortunately the drinks on the menu are really really bad.. definitely don’t recommend but would love to see this place pumping again!

   This place is amazing! Our server listened to what we liked and picked out the most amazing peach mimosa!!! And the food…to die for!!! I got the waffles and just when you think it’s “just a waffle” you eat this and you will never eat another waffle like it!!! The Apple compote and tasted pecans set it off!!! The music was good…wish they would’ve mixed more hip hop in but the crowd was a vibe so we were dancing to everything!!! I definitely want to sit in the pit next time…lol…IYKYK!!!

   Mediocre service, mediocre food. Good ambiance. Chicken and waffles not worth the price.

   The management was wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet brunch place, this is not it. Reviews were great but no mention of noise level. We made a reservation for 5, with many reviews stating great food etc. When we got there we were told there would be a DJ starting at 1. But we were placed at the table closest to the stage, we were not told there would not be able to have a conversation or hear each other at all. We did have an issue with a drink charge but it was easily resolved by the Management.

    Went here for brunch on a Sunday. The food was great but came out slow even though it wasn’t super busy. Additionally the volume of the music was at club levels.

    This is DEFINITELY a party brunch place. If you're hoping to be able to have a quiet brunch with lots of conversation - this isn't the place. If you are looking for a place to enjoy good food, drinks, music, and extend Saturday night into Sunday - come here! I love boozy brunch and is probably my favorite social activity - Sons of Essex does a great job! Great food, the DJ is spinning the hottest songs, and its a celebratory atmosphere. The music is a bit on the loud side but once you're through your first carafe of boozy bevvies, you become one with the vibrations and find yourself swaying with fellow patrons. I'll be back!

    The chicken & waffles were really bland , zero taste! Some brown sugar in the waffle batter & seasoning salt on the chicken fry would go a LONG way.

    If you are looking for a high energy DJ brunch-this is it. We stumbled upon this place 3 years ago on a trip to NYC and knew we wanted to come back. Good food, flowing drinks, and high energy atmosphere that has everyone smiling and dancing.

    Went for dinner at 7pm and thought it would have a good vibe. But they had just reopened from brunch so we were the first people there for dinner. Food was good but kinda weird being the only people there. Very cool decor and could see it being a fun time with more of a crowd

    I always love Sons of Essex. The food is excellent, the vibe was so much fun and the service was great. The only downside for me was that we made a 3:30 reservation and didn’t know the kitchen closes at 3:45 so it was a bit rushed. I wish it had been noted when I made my reservation. Still, love this restaurant.

    My group and I had SO MUCH FUN!!!!! Carla is such a great hostess and worked to get us a lovely section and wonderful service. Such a great experience and friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back! ♥️ Edit: okay so we went back later that night and while we were having a good time this weirdo man kept approaching and WOULD NOT TAKE A HINT! Would you believe staff came over and moved us to vip when they saw how uncomfortable we were? Yeah sooo…like I said, we will definitely be back. ♥️♥️

    Delicious food but limited menu. The ambience is a lot of fun and the people are so nice! Only down side was the noise level with the music, hard to talk so not a great place to catch up with friends but a good time for partying!
