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.

Never enough MJ23 at Mohegan Sun! Arrived around noon, headed straight to MJ’s for some delicious onion soup and garlic bread smothered with blue cheese fondue. OMG!!!! We had a light lunch because we had reservations for dinner there at 5pm. (Be sure to make reservations!) It was a special birthday dinner and with waitress Mel we were in good hands as she attended to our every dining pleasure. To be sure the strip steak and asparagus were done to perfection but the best part of the experience was dessert!!!! You must have the Banana Spring Rolls!!! Strategically placed upon the creamiest vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and toasted sugared almonds! Well , I’ll just end it there and leave it to you to go there and try it for yourself. Thank you MJ23 for making a birthday dinner so special!
