   Our server, Javier, was fantastic. The food was to die for, and the space is beautiful. I love the Israeli culture, music, and energy in the room. It would be a fabulous space to hold an event in. We will be back again and again!

   I recently celebrated my birthday at Esh, and it was an amazing experience! The ambience was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a special evening. The service was top-notch, attentive, friendly, and seamless throughout the night. The food was absolutely delicious!! (Don’t skip the branzino). Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience & great food!

   Good, not great is the best way to describe Esh. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and had a lively, young atmosphere. The service was also very attentive, but somewhat rushed. My wife and I were in and out in just over an hour, with two drinks each. Should have been paced out better. The biggest disappointment was the food. The best thing we had was the meze dips. We split three additional apps and dessert. We were hoping for these vibrant flavors as described and ended up with an average outcome at hefty prices.

   We had the three-dip appetizer (hummus, baba ghanoush, tziki) and it was pricey for dips ($25). We asked for a second bread and they charged us an additional $9.00. The halibut was covered in the red pepper/tomato sauce. It was tasty but very heavy. My dining partner was disappointed. The dessert - rice pudding - was delicious but again, overkill with crunchy toppings that were not necessary. We paid $103/p.p. Including tip - no alcoholic beverages. The waitress seemed to be in a rush to take our orders, serve us, and deliver the bill so that part was not pleasant as far as offering us an experience. Probably will not return - place is fou-fou.

    I have eaten here many times and love the food the atmosphere and the service. This last time I thought the service was a little lacking otherwise great experience as ever.
