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.

    The best meal we've ever had! The ribeye steak was tender and well seasoned and the fluffernutter pot de creme was the perfect ending to our night!

    Great service. We made a reservation but we got there early and went to the bar and ended up staying there. The bartender was very nice and friendly. Food was great like it is in all locations. It did take awhile to come out to us and everything arrived at once which was a little annoying because we are use to it coming out kinda slowly , one by one or two at the other locations. We will visit again and just ask kindly that it not all be brought out at once. I thought the noise level was good. DJ was playing great music. Bathrooms were clean.

    The food was well prepared and terrific. The service was fantastic. The downside was we were so close to the table next to us I could have eaten off of her plate. The noise level was so loud we were having difficulty conversing across the table.

    A great meal. I appreciated the vegan options!! The vegan entree menu wasn’t extensive, which was ok, because it wasn’t salad! I got the Gochujang tofu and my husband got the Orzo pasta. Both delicious! For apps we got grilled Shishito peppers with a flavorful sauce and a side of Mizo glazed eggplant to share with dinner. Dessert was an Apple pie, also vegan. Portion sizes were more than large enough to share. Entrees were appropriate sized. Ambience was a cool vibe. Definitely recommend!
