    Incredible dining experience! Such a cool way to enter the restaurant by walking through a pawn shop. The atmosphere was perfect and we were promptly shown to our table. Our waiter was great and super helpful throughout dinner. There were 6 of us and we all decided to order a wide variety of food for us all the share. The grilled cheese was absolutely phenomenal!! Some of our other favorites were the tomahawk ribeye, braised chicken meatballs, and little French dips. Their cocktails were really good as well. A bunch of us kept ordering the bubbles and berries which is a fabulous combination of champagne, vodka, and muddled berries. Overall our experience was perfect and we can’t wait to come back!!

I The dining room manager, Royce, was amazing too. He made sure that he checked up on our table every now and then to make sure we were enjoying dinner!

    Great atmosphere and vibe, the waiter was amazingly enthusiastic and fun! Highly recommended - the grilled cheese in spoons (forgot the name), jumbo Thai shrimp, scallops, and the bone marrow portions are very generous! We ended up eating only appetizers and getting wonderfully full on them. Out of all the dishes only the tuna tacos were so-so everything else was great!

    Beauty & Essex is my absolute most favorite restaurant in all of Las Vegas! Both the restaurant and its food/drinks are unique and stand out from any other place you’ll eat at on the strip. The dishes are meant to be shared and it’s always so hard for me to decide what to order because everything is so delicious. I highly recommend trying the Mexican street corn raviolis and the chicken meat balls (I order both of these every time I go). Also… I would make sure to save room for dessert! There’s always a dessert item that changes and this time when we went in it was the dessert carousel that had a different dessert in each cart of the carousel. The service and staff are top notch and really make sure you feel welcomed and taken care of. Reservations are recommended as this restaurant books up pretty fast. Trust me when I say you will not be disappointed in Beauty & Essex!!!

    I'm giving it 5 stars for the overall experience. I will definitely be back as there are options on the menu I need to try to fully assess everything. The food was great but the Mac and cheese was disappointing. The scallops were amazing and the Thai shrimp was second to none. The kale salad was amazing as well. The service from everyone was world-class and the ambiance was perfect. It is dark inside so if you go to an early dinner you will think it's late. Will definitely be back.

    We have gone several times, with friends and with family, and we always have a great time with delicious food and drinks. They even surprised us with a desert filled platter to celebrate a birthday. There are so many good things on the menu that you get full and need to come back to be able to try them all. The prime rib, chicken sandwiches, and the poke tacos are our favorites.

    Visiting Beauty & Essex was a highlight of our Vegas vacation. The entrance to the restaurant is themed as a pawn shop, and you can actually purchase the items in the cases if something catches your eye. The woman behind the counter was very helpful and pointed out the nondescript door to the restaurant, located in the back corner. Once we were inside, it was clear the decorations and ambiance of the restaurant was a continuation of the pawnshop theme, but substantially more elegant. A collection of antique mirrors decorated one wall, velvet seating, and gorgeous chandeliers. I do wish the interior was a bit brighter. While the dim lighting adds a romantic element, it was too dark for many patrons to be able to see the menu. To alleviate the issue, they used flashlights on their phones and would inadvertently shine the light around the restaurant at other tables. The food was FANTASTIC. Our server recommended the grilled cheese dumplings with tomato soup to start, which were excellent. The toasted bread made for a great crunchy exterior, and the cheese was perfectly melted and flavorful inside the dumpling. We also tried the beef wellington and little french dips. The beef wellington was delicious, but not designed to be shared easily like the little french dips and grilled cheese dumplings. For the price, I was hoping the portions would be slightly larger but it was not surprising they were on the small side. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a nice evening. Excellent food, wonderful service, all in a beautiful setting.

    If you go here you MUST order the grilled cheese, smoked. It’s DELICIOUS! The restaurant itself was nice but super loud. Not the best acoustics. If you are looking for a quiet place this is not it. The service was phenomenal. For dessert we got the chocolate peanut meltdown which could easily be shared with 3-4 people. It was good but very rich.

    This has become one of favorite places to eat in Las Vegas. Our waitress Kiyanna was very friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is dark and elegant. Food is amazing, this time we got streetcorn ravioli, truffle Mac and cheese, and the famous grilled cheese, smoked bacon & tomato soup dumplings! Our drinks were mixed very well too. Just a great place to eat.

    What a great meal!! Loved the cocktail Earl of Pearl, but they all looked fantastic. Loved to be able to try so many things. The empanadas and crispy eggplant were highlights, but everything we had was excellent.

    Absolutely incredible experience! We came as a work group of 50 people and had a set menu. The grilled cheese and tomato soup dumplings were to die for. The tuna tacos, the beef Wellington, the salmon, the everything. Every single bite was epic. Try as many things as you can!

    Visit was a couple month ago. But I remember loving the hamachi appetizer! It was so good I ordered another after the meal. The spaghettini was huge but nothing spectacular for us and we didn’t eat even half of it. You enter and walk through a high end pawn shop and then the nice dark ambiance inside. Nice to dress up but it’s not required. Service was good. They had a live dj during our dinner and they played awesome music. Don’t remember the drink but my husband loved it.

    Had an amazing time here. We tried the Chile Relleno Empanada, Tomato Soup Dumplings, Thai Styled Deep Fried Shrimp, Little French Dips, Mexican Street Corn Ravioli and the Crispy Fried Eggplant along with several cocktails. Everything was fantastic. Personal favourite was the soup dumplings. Great service despite being very busy. I'd love to return.

    Everything we tried was phenomenal, drinks were absolutely delicious and unique. Prices crazy as you'd expect from any posh restaurant on the strip, and portions are small. BUT it allowed the four of us to try lots of delicious items. Id pass on the scallops next time as i didn't enjoy the flavors of the sauces together, and the meatballs were our surprising favorite. Service was quite fast for being so busy.

    The food here is really good! Small plates so they’re shareable. I’ve been here 3x and the waiters were all friendly, super attentive, and knowledgeable with the menu. Great place to bring friends.

    Beauty and Essex is an experience I would recommend to anyone. The pawn shop-store-front has a secret door (James bond feel) that leads to an elegant restaurant with great music and staff. I must warn you that the food is pricy and well worth it! Side dishes are plentiful and should be ordered to share (as stated in the menu), so you can taste everything. The three of us together ordered Grilled Cheese Smoked Bacon and Tomato Soup Dumplings (A MUST HAVE), Oven Braised Chicken Meatballs, Brown Butter Scallops, House Salad (in a league of it's own), a stack of Onion Rings and the 10 oz Steak. Each portion was delicious and the attentive servers swarmed is to ensure we were never without. So when visit Vegas treat yourself to an experience you will NOT forget!

    Really cool venue with a great ambience. The entrance to Beauty & Essex is really cool as you start off in a quirky shop and get led through some doors to the restaurant+ bar area. The cocktails are really good and I highly recommend the Woodsman, as well as the Beauty Elixir. The food is good as well. The restaurant is designed for sharing so order a bunch of small plates and try everything. I highly recommend the Cauliflower tacos as well as the Tuna Wonton Taco from the raw bar.

  • 5/5 J S. 4 months ago on Google
    Really dark and sexy place to go to enjoy a taste of everything, with a share plates type of service! The Thai shrimp and french dips were the best things we had! Truffle Mac n cheese and BBQ fries were out of this world too!

  • 5/5 Kelley O. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a beautiful place to eat at. Like a speak easy from back in the day. The vibe was very chill. The food was delicious. The staff was very helpful in making drink and food choices and so attentive. Definitely recommend going there.

  • 5/5 David C. 6 months ago on Google
    One of top 10 all time favorite restaurants in the United States. The service food and ambiance are all top notch. It’s a fun vibe and the food is spectacular. Their signature grilled cheese and tomato one bite is incredible! Make a reservation in advance and enjoy all it has to offer!

  • 5/5 David F. 5 months ago on Google
    Sexy vibe, great food. Loved the shrimp, the walnut salad and the fresh donut dessert was sooooooo good. Pretty light but very delicious. The place has that speak easy vibe. I recommend getting reservations. My guests really liked the drinks like the spicy mint jalapeño vodka drink

  • 4/5 C W. 4 months ago on Google
    Delicious food. Very expensive though and very limited menu. My cosmo was $27. The French dip sliders are what we loved last time and came back for. The atmosphere is very date like and dark and moody. We always sit at bar. Service is attentive and great. Last time we had the meatballs and the French dip sliders. I didn’t care for the meat balls.

  • 5/5 Nick 6 months ago on Google
    Great food! The food is worth the price and I recommend going in a big group so you can share appetizers! I ended up getting the aged bone in filet and was it delicious! It’s a speak easy style restaurant but is fine dining inside. My friends come here every-time they are in Vegas and I understand why. If you are ever planning to go definitely make reservations! *the street corn ravioli was not the best tasting thing so I recommend trying another appetizer but everything else was flawless !

    Wow! this place was amazing. The atmosphere, our very wonderful server with so much enthusiasm it made you love it all. The food was delicious wine was paired perfectly. We are Vegas locals and this will be one of our regular spots. It’s moody and perfect for a sexy date night.

  • 5/5 Ryan J. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible food. Some of the most interesting and delicious bites in Vegas. It's super fun to share plates and it is actually very affordable?? Almost confusingly cheap for what you are getting. The food came super fast and the drinks were very good. The grilled cheese and tomato soup bite will literally change your life; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

  • 4/5 Jennifer C. 9 months ago on Google
    It was Summer NBA League premier so extra busy. Service is 5 star, especially the bar staff and support team. I was surprised that Chef Chris Santos is trying out recipes at the prices Beauty & Essex charge, overall the staff compensated for the corporate

  • 5/5 Michael Del S. 1 year ago on Google
    Place was amazing. We lucked out and were able to get seated without a reservation. The food and service were top notch. New approach to the meals with each being family style. Made for a really enjoyable experience. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Rachel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent meal! Server was very upbeat and enthusiastic. Food was delicious, served sharing style. We had six at the table and I appreciated that they adjusted each dish to ensure we had six portions. Our favorite was the little French dips. Chicken meatballs were also standouts, as were the tomato soup grilled cheese dumplings.

  • 5/5 KD K. 11 months ago on Google
    Loved this place. First, it's hidden within a jewelry store. Then you go in and the place is a huge dimly lit restaurant. All food is meant to be shareable. It's served in bite sized pieces. We ordered 4 dishes and they were ALL delicious. We had Kale salad. It's huge. It felt like a never ending salad. No matter how much we ate, it was still some left. The meatballs (one of my faves) The grilled cheese dumplings and tomato soup (both my friend and my favorite) Thai Shrimp. The shrimp were HUGE (This was my friends other favorite)

  • 5/5 P B. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a great dining experience here. You walk in through a pawn shop into the restaurant. Beautiful decor and ambiance. Between 2 people we ordered the the Grilled Cheese and tomato soup dumplings (these were recommended by our server-10/10), street corn ravioli (not what we had expected, wasn’t flavourful enough for our palate) and the ribeye (10/10 melted in the mouth!). For dessert we had cake pop which where delicious! The food came out very quickly and our server was so attentive the entire meal.

  • 2/5 Nora Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Food is average. Can’t say it’s bad but definitely not worth the price in my opinion. But it’s Vegas, so … My favorite is the sesame crusted salmon. This dish is truly amazing. I’ve never had salmon this perfect. Has to control the perfect timing to have texture like this. Great for group dining & parties.

  • 5/5 Millie O. 9 months ago on Google
    Looking for a speakeasy vibe with food that slaps? Then Beauty and Essex is the place to stop in!! Food: The food is on point! Everything we tasted was excellent. We probably could have eaten everything on the menu if we would’ve had more time. All the items were unique and savory. Atmosphere: It’s a speakeasy vibe with low lighting and posh decor. The staff were kind to us and welcoming. We were late making it to our reservation but were still given a table asap. Price: $$$ - it’s a pricey establishment with tapa like portions but worth it to try a variety of foods!

  • 5/5 Amanda A. 1 year ago on Google
    Grilled cheese dumplings were delicious! The Mexican street corn ravioli was good but it's not something I would order again. The oysters were AMAZING!!! The tomahawk steak was the best steak I've had in vegas!! This would be #1 in my book. The way the chef cooked this was beyond words!! We literally finished the whole steak. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender slices of meat!

  • 5/5 Janna M. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a great dining experience! The server was very helpful on choosing our food and drinks. It is all small bites, so great to have some one help guide you in food choices and cocktails to blend well. The food was amazing! The tomato soup & grilled cheese dumpling was a huge hit, the ravioli was delicious. Beef wellington was cooked to perfection!! No room for dessert, will have to go back for that!
