    Always an amazing experience. We ordered dessert then a surprise birthday dessert showed up so we had way too many desserts. Other than this, it was outstanding.

    Food was great, fast service. If you’re looking for quiet and low key restaurants, this is not it.

    Cody did an excellent job navigating the menu for me as I have celiac disease. I felt great about all choices and thoroughly enjoyed our meal experience. It’s just really loud between the number of people and music—it makes it difficult to hear dining companions.

    The food was good. However, our server was terrible. She seemed annoyed at every question we asked. Felt rushed the whole time. Definitely be reluctant to go back.

    There was a lull between courses, so it really put a damper on the whole night and slowed our energy down so much. But pre the last course it was great!

    Server was great and attentive. Food was just OK, nothing “knock your socks off!” For what we were served, this experience was wayyyy over-priced.

FAQs

Yes, Beauty & Essex is a very popular choice for date night. Guests praise the moody, speakeasy vibe, dim lighting and jewelry-box dining rooms that feel intimate and special. The menu is shareable tapas-style, which makes ordering fun for two, and there are standout dishes and crafted cocktails to elevate the evening. Note: the dining room can be lively and fairly loud on busy nights, so request a quieter room or an earlier seating if you want a more conversational dinner.

Family-friendly: yes, guests frequently celebrate birthdays and bring families, and staff often accommodate celebrations and dietary needs. Accessible seating: specific accessibility features aren’t listed in available info, so call ahead to confirm wheelchair access or other needs; the staff is often described as accommodating and will help arrange seating when notified.

For a slightly quieter experience, visit early in dinner service or during social hour (many guests suggest arriving right when social hour opens). Weeknights (Mon–Thu) are generally less crowded than Fri–Sat. If you want full energy and a lively scene, go later on weekend nights when the atmosphere is at its peak.

Beauty & Essex offers multiple distinct dining spaces, hidden behind a pawn shop, you’ll find several ‘jewelry-box’ rooms, a main dining room, bar seating and private rooms for larger parties. Guests often recommend asking for the smaller/side rooms for a more intimate dinner or reserving a private room for celebrations.

The vibe is sultry, moody and energetic, a Las Vegas speakeasy with dim lighting, DJ/music and chic decor. Guests love the glamorous, jewel-box look and lively energy, though many note the dining room can be loud; if you prefer a quieter meal, ask for a private room or earlier seating. Service is frequently highlighted as attentive and theatrical.

Smart casual. Guests often dress up for the upscale speakeasy vibe, jeans and nice shirts are common, but shorts and flip-flops are discouraged. If you’re celebrating a special night, many guests wear dressier attire to match the chic atmosphere.

Yes, guests routinely request birthday or celebration accommodations and allergy/dietary notes in advance. The restaurant has private-party capability and staff are often praised for arranging cards, desserts or special seating. Call ahead or add notes to your reservation so the team can prepare and confirm details.

For a more relaxed meal, choose a weekday (Mon–Thu) or arrive right at social hour. If you want the full high-energy Vegas vibe, pick a weekend night. Ultimately choose a weekday for quieter conversation and weekends for the lively party atmosphere.

Yes, guests frequently reference the original Beauty & Essex in New York and other locations. The brand and TAO Group operate multiple venues, and many guests who’ve visited both NYC and Vegas compare the locations favorably.

Yes, the restaurant allows private parties and has private or semi-private rooms (guests mention a small private room and a quieter back room). Many guests book private rooms for birthdays and larger celebrations, and staff are noted for helping organize special touches.

Yes, guests have dined at Beauty & Essex on major holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas are mentioned by visitors), though the hours or menu may differ. If you plan a holiday visit, call ahead to confirm hours, special holiday menus and reservation availability.
