What User likes about The Essex:
Small place, but it's worth it. You have the choice to make the tasting menu or order from the regular menu. We chose the regular menu. The watermelon and tomato salad was incredible. Next was the Wagyu Stripe Steak. To die! By the way, where we get our Wagyu. I really liked how Koch came out and welcomed the tables. For a 300 plus dinner, worth a lot. View all feedback.
