Everything about Essie's Restaurant is immaculate. Every time my boyfriend and I go to Essie's we get something new, and every time we are mind-blow by how delicious and beautifully crafted it is. Chef Brandon is insanely gifted when it comes to cuisine. We also have had some of the best cocktails we have EVER had. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in April of 2021 and was scared to go out to eat anywhere. I reached out to Essie's, and they put all of my worries at ease. They modified my meals to make them completely gluten free and safe from cross contamination. They take food allergies very seriously. Additionally, we have had the same waitress (only one waitress on the week nights we have gone) the past few times, and she is so lovely and personable. Any wait is WELL worth it and just adds to the overall intimate experience of Essie's.
