About

Behind a vintage-guitar storefront, Beauty & Essex pairs a dim, candlelit dining room with shareable American plates and a separate vegan menu. The gochujang tofu and BBQ portobello stand out, while the $98-per-person five-course group menu and lively brunch make it a popular pick for celebrations.
