Essex, New York NY

Helen B.is the best waistress at brunch. Kept the mimosas bottomless. Never had an empty glass. Best bang for buck I've found. Food was great. 4 stars for upcharges on the brunch menu compared to the regular menu.

Had dinner last Wednesday and everything was great. Brought a date and had a great time. Beautiful atmosphere, great music and the best service. Celeste was there when we needed her and super pleasant. Can’t wait to come back.

We had an amazing time at Essex. Krystal was an angel. Krystal is one of the best hostess I have come across as yet and gave outstanding service. Delicious food, it was a fun space to be. I recommend you ask for Krystal when you go there, she is absolutely amazing.will come again

Unlike most of the places around, we were able to be seated without a reservation in a timely manner (ie less than 45 mins). Helen B.was hands down the best at brunch. Kept the mimosas bottomless and even was accommodating with juice options. Never had an empty glass. Food was great. 4 stars for upcharges on the brunch menu compared to the regular menu.

#CELESTEISTHEBEST SHE IS THE BEST SERVER! We always ask for her when we get here! She knows us on a first name basis and always makes us feel so comfortable and happy! We hug her hello and goodbye and she is so sweet. Definitely would recommend her as ur server!

Victoria is the best waitress. She didn’t hesitate to refill our mimosas during bottomless brunch, other places wait too long. She was fun and made it a great experience. Definitely will return, but only if Victoria is our waitress again.

High-energy brunch with great music and v solid food. Servers are amazing- Katie made sure we took full advantage of our bottomless res and dove in to refill the second our glasses got low. It’s a must-hit for groups.

Had an amazing brunch! Helena B was so organized and helpful. I haven’t been to the Essex for over 14 years and I will recommend to all my friends. Helena made our soon to be bride’s bachelorette brunch special.

Katie was the best waitress I have ever encountered. A true icon among wait staff. She never let me get to the bottom of my bottomless mimosa. Funny and efficient. Personable and hilarious. Brilliant. Kind. Katie.

#celesteisthebest I went here for my 30th birthday for brunch and Celeste was genuinely the best server! She was fast with filling up our bottomless drinks. She was fun and engaging and we love a fellow Virgo energy. She was fantastic!

Katie was an amazing server. Great attitude, always helpful. Knew the menu and was quick with any requests.
Brunch menu was great, all of our food was good for a Sunday rush brunch hour.
Burgers and Country Fried steak.
A bit of a wait, but worth it because Katie kept pouring those bottomless mimosas! Thank you! 2nd time here and will be back.

Excellent eating experience! From walking in to the door to being greeted and seated, Krystal was our waitress, she has great customer service skills and made us feel welcome. The meal was served hot and excellent taste. Thank you Krystal for such a great experience!

Came with a group of friends for a labor day weekend boozy brunch, and this place was fantastic! We all had a wonderful time, and our server Celeste was amazing! She made sure we always had full drinks in front of us and she provided great hospitality! Good price, good vibes, good people, good times! Would come back! #celesteisthebest

This place has great drinks and a variety of seafood which happened to be my favorite. Krystal is one of the best servers I have encountered so far. I have been to Essex many times and every time Krystal delivers outstanding customer service overall. She's a naturally energetic soul who always keeps up a positive upbeat interaction. Be sure to personally ask for Krystal for your next brunch party!

Came to Essex today for brunch. The vibes are good. The drinks are bottomless and amazing (light on the oj which I love). Food is good. I got the burger which was really good. Cooked the way I like. And service is amazing. We had Katie as our waitress and she was so pleasant. Def will come back! And when I do I want Katie. Her energy is amazing. Def was knowledgeable about the menu. Thinking about planning my birthday brunch here?

No complaints other than I didn't expect a glass of house wine to be $14. Maybe it's been a long time since I've gone out. The food was good, arrived promptly, & the waitstaff was friendly. Good music.
