Beauty & Essex

Dined here in April 2025. A great little hidden gem of a place. The front is a 'pawn shop' so from the street looks non-descript. Once through the door you open up to the bar and the dining space and stairs to the upper floor. It has that...

Beauty & Essex is hands down worth every cent. The staff was amazing and knowledgeable. Their recommendations were spot on and nothing less than perfect. The tomato soup and grilled cheese was absolutely my favorite. This Speakeasy is neatl...

Came to Beauty & Essex for my best friend’s birthday with a group of 12. The space is dark, cozy, and beautiful. Such a great vibe for a celebration. The food was amazing and served family-style. The tomato soup dumplings with grilled chee...

We went there for thanksgiving so we knew there was going to be a lot of people. However, this does not justify waiting 45 minutes while we had a reservation. It is utterly unacceptable for any restaurant, but even more so for one that has...

The food was AMAZING but the WAIT? Insane. We waited to be seated for an HOUR even though we had a reservation. They did give us some compensation but maybe a more realistic wait time expectation would be helpful.

Everything was amazing except the 45 min wait we had from our actual reservation time .

The food was so tasty and there was great variety and vegan options. I give 4 stars only because we had to wait for 20 mins for our table even though we booked ahead. The fish tacos are perfect. Great vibes overall just a bit too loud imo

Where to even begin. The faux speakeasy thing didn’t bother us too much. We even encountered an overflowing toilet before being seated, and we were still trying to look past all that and looked forward to the meal. We eventually got seated,...

Had high hopes for Beauty & Essex at Mohegan Sun, but left disappointed. The space is beautiful and the service was great, but the menu was limited and the portions were really small for the price. Everything felt overpriced, and while the...

Very nice decor, cool ambiance, the place is stunning. It's like a vintage pawn shop and inside a hidden high end restaurant. I made a reservation to brunch with a good friend. The food is good, but very pricey and small (tapas). We didn't...
