Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Crown Heights

Nobu offers delicious food, exceptional service, and the best lychee martini. However, the reception staff’s aloof and unwelcoming demeanor often leaves much to be desired. One can’t help but wonder who they think they are, given their role—likely earning a modest wage—yet carrying an air of superiority.

Truffle linguini was so fresh with just the right amount of truffle. Spaghetti carbonara with pork and the egg on top was a hit at my table. Pappardelle was a good hardy bowl of pasta and roasted lamb. The capri pizza with a Caesar salad was a perfect appetizer for the table. Priced reasonably for the city, this place is definitely worth several visits.

Good and service were excellent. Expensive and portions not very large but because the food is really worth it!

The food was delicious, but what really stood out was Cecilia’s exceptional service. She went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. Her attention to detail, friendly attitude, and professionalism were truly top-notch. Thank you, Cecilia, for the superb service!

We had a great experience at Beauty and Essex! We ordered 8 items for 5 people and had plenty of food. Highlights were apple and kale salad, tomato soup and grilled cheese dumplings, strip steak and mushroom ravioli. Service was fantastic and ambience was fabulous. Expensive but worth it!
