Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the restaurant’s entrance, a well-curated modern-day pawn shop replete with a saxophone, boombox, quirky artifacts, vintage treasures, and an eclectic array of “one-off” pieces of jewelry. Continuing past the pawnshop, guests encounter a grand, circular staircase wrapped around a two-story custom chandelier, but only the adventurous will discover all that Beauty & Essex has to offer. With four distinct dining rooms (one private), two bars, a lounge, and a women’s bathroom complete with a salon including a luxurious sofa, and antique perfume bottles. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course. Chef 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.

This is an excellent restaurant in the theater district. The managers and staff should be applauded as well as the NY Fire dept. when a pipe burst over the door creating a massive waterfall during our dinner service in January. They all sprung into action and had the damage under control in a very short period of time. The food was delicious and the concern from management and staff for us was exceptional. Thank you for a memorable evening.

Five of us and we ate family-style so we got a lot of different things and really liked everything. Our collective favorite was the Red Curry with chicken. The corn salad and the papaya salad were good to refresh the palette in between dishes. Spice level was high.

We had the most incredible experience! Our server Kazi was incredibly attentive and played a large part in making our tea time feel special. The tea was fantastic (we tried the mint, lavender, and fruit infusion) as well as the desserts and sandwiches. On top of that, the architecture of the room is breathtaking. I can’t wait to return!
