Essence Kitchen + Bar Reviews
We were passing through and decided to stop for a bite to eat, not knowing what to expect. We were seated quickly, the owner is SO friendly and hard working and her husband, Chef Jason is amazing as well. They really take the time to get to know their customers and their food was beyond exceptional and the staff was so nice. I don’t come this way often, but when I do, I will definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Came here for the first time today for our anniversary! We live in Prescott and I had seen this recommendation multiple times. I have to say it absolutely lives up to all the hype!! My husband started with the lobster bisque, the best he’s ever had and the dinner salad, the dressing was amazing! We share the Ohana Cheesesteak Sandwich, so unique and tasty as well as the Parmesan crusted chicken breast. We finished off with the skillet brownie a la mode. Everything was outstanding...read full review

The menu features standout dishes like filet, pork sliders, and chicken fettuccine alfredo, as well as popular items such as braised ribs over butternut squash ravioli, sea bass, and ribeye steak. Customers have praised the quality of food, including the sea bass with a miso marinade, exceptional burger, and fries. There are lots of gluten free selections, and the gf flourless torte is scrumptious. The chef came out to meet guests, and the service was top notch.
