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.

    I’ve been to this restaurant many times before, so it was nice to bring friends who’ve never been. We had a great time. A spacious corner table, perfect for six of us and spacious tables. We shared a spinach artichoke dip, then all of us opted for different main dishes: margaritas pizza, half chicken roast, fish and chips, Greek salad, and good bowl. Drinks: great range of cocktails & I love their organic black tea. Ending the night with creme brulee. Thank you to the waitress who took care of us! (Forgot to take photos of the whole table.)
