I came for the Thanksgiving dinner solo and sat at the bar. Both bartenders were amazing and very knowledgeable about the food and beverages being served. I left totally full, satisfied and looking forward to the next time at this restaurant. Kudos to the whole staff for a fun holiday night for those of us not with family

Kudos to our server Jeffrey for making this celebration memorable. He was insightful about the menu and offered recommendations to us as a group of vegetarians. They even have a separate vegan menu. The food was amazing - small plates, shareables, deserts. Everything was top notch. Rarely as a vegetarian does our family rave about every meal. At Beauty & Essex, we did. And we are coming back the next time we're are in Vegas!

Wonderful evening spent with good friends for Thanksgiving and a birthday. Attentive staff, the head chef even came by to say hi and see how things were. At the end of the evening, she was gracious enough to give the kids a quick tour of the kitchen, from the outside, not where all the chefs were. Beef wellington was amazing, and so was the seafood tower. I feel like a shark after eating all that shellfish. Haha. Sticky toffee pudding...I wanted more but was so full. I'll go back just for a dessert run. Amazing overall. Pricey, but that's paying for the service, atmosphere, rent, and some of the best food I've had in Las Vegas.
