Essy's restaurant offers a mixed experience showcasing both positive and negative aspects, making it a hit or miss. Despite slow service and negative food experiences, the family-owned restaurant provides excellent customer service alongside delicious dishes that leaves diners satisfied.

The service was bad and very slow, the wine list was limited, and the food we ordered was the worst we had in a long time. We ordered their signature dishes, cr...
