Featured in the pages of The New York Times, an Infatuation darling, and awarded the distinction of being a New York Magazine Critics Pick, Essex Restaurant's dynamic, ingenious menu and abundant energy have made it a Lower East Side staple for over two decades.
Grab your $59 pulse (a $132 value) to indulge in a decadent 3 Course Dinner for Two, that includes 1 Starter, 2 Main Courses, 1 Dessert, and 4 House Cocktails, Glasses of Wine, or Beers.
Discover the secret to this mainstay's long-standing success as a result of Executive Chef Adan's adherence to the exceptional. Drawing from the neighborhood's foodie history, you'll begin with starters like Fresh Bluepoint Oysters (shallot mignonette, cocktail sauce) and the Chicken Lollipops in a Jack Daniel's & ginger beer glaze.
Using the highest quality Pat LaFrieda meats and farm-fresh produce from the nearby Essex Street Market, tuck into heaping plates of Angus Prime NY Strip Steak Frites sided with blistered tomatoes, shishito peppers, celery root puree, and a dollop of bone marrow butter.
The Lobster Ravioli in saffron-sage cream sauce, or the refreshing New Bedford Sea Scallops with a trio of asparagus, watermelon radish, and onion char also make themselves worthy contenders.
A fashion-forward crowd, drinks like Aperol Spritz's and gorgeous red wines, plus an ensemble of decadent desserts will round out this sultry, sleek, and stylish New York City night...
A pioneer in its own right and award-winning as a result of its authenticity, Essex Restaurant pulls out all the stops, from the chic city vibes to a dinner menu that prides itself on indulgent flavors and organic, fresh cuisine.
Essex Restaurant's palatial, loft-style space is decked out with high ceilings, contemporary chandeliers, exposed brick, artistic accents, and a convivial, social buzz that has earned it the title of being a beloved hotspot for locals and Big Apple visitors alike.
Begin the epicurean endeavor via staters of Manchego Macaroni & Cheese paired with red wine. Opt for some white vino and Ahi Tuna Poke (avocado, wasabi, wonton crisps), or sip on exquisite cocktails like The Mango Lava Lamp (vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry, mango lava) as you nosh grilled pineapple chutney and queso fresco-stuffed Pork Belly Tacos.
Refill whatever libations fuel your fare, then move onto entrees, namely Arctic Char Salmon dressed in red chimichurri sauce, and the stunning Australian Lamb Chops sided by tricolor beets & tobiko creme fraiche.
Battle over the final bites of housemade desserts, like the Chocolate Lava Cake or the Apple Crisp à la Mode, basking in Essex Restaurant's uber-cool nature that makes for an evocative setting to see and be seen...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
