Use to be a favorite restaurant but there have been staff changes and the “manager” is any thing but helpful. Sorry to see this happen.

Checked this place out over the weekend, and I cannot express how beautiful and cozy this restaurant is! And even though it was crowded, it wasn't too loud. It's easy to see why it's such a popular place, and the service is lovely. The bartender and the owner were chatting with us and really personable, and the drink menu is wonderful (especially the whiskey flight!). But I order the bistro pasta with shrimp, and unfortunately it just wasn't good. The sauce was more like a broth, and the pasta was thick and starchy, and still had starchy water inside the culrs of the pasta that was making the pasta kind of... gel. But my partner good the steak tips and they were awesome, cooked perfectly, she said they were scrumptious. I think this is a great place to go to, especially for drinks, but if you're getting dinner just avoid the pasta dishes.

Went for dinner with friends. I had the Mediterranean haddock, and it was excellent! My friends were very satisfied with their meals as well. Good waitress and service. A great value for the food. We will be back.

We ordered trays of food for Christmas to make the holiday a little less hectic, and it was the best decision we could have made! We chose the Pork Bellagio and Chicken Marsala, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. Often, food prepared ahead of time can be dry or lose its quality when reheated, but not here. The chicken was incredibly moist and tender, practically falling apart with every bite.
I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant, but their catering service truly went above and beyond. It was a perfect addition to our holiday celebration. Highly recommend!

We usually have a good experience but the last two times we have been there the food has not been good. We visited 3 nights ago I had a burger and fries. The burger was supposed to be cooked medium but it came out rare and the fries were cold, soggy and barely cooked. My spouse had the scallops broccoli and risotto. His meal was cold and under cooked as well. It was somewhat busy but not packed at all. $130 for cold under cooked food. At least the eggplant rollitini was cooked and decent.

So delicious and great service. I got the chicken Marsala and a raspberry limincello martini. Everything was timely. Great atmosphere for a date night imo.

I wanted to make a shout out to this place. The bartenders and waitresses are absolutely amazing! Love what they bring! Lots of personality and I fully believe that's what you look for in a bar! Love this place and can't wait for my next visit! Thank you Essex Street Grille!
Stopped in for food and drinks Silva recommended us the Pork Bellagio and the shrimp diablo…. It was amazing and so was her service, loved the energy she brought in. Definitely coming back soon!

$30 for four scallops seems a bit extreme! We left hungry.
