| - We chose to dine at Beauty & Essex after a last minute change of heart. We decided to go with a lighter menu, instead of the Steak and Chops place we had originally picked.
From the second I walked into the Pawn Shop in the afternoon to check if they had any availability that night, I could tell this establishment understood hospitality. I was treated like a welcomed guest rather than a last minute bother.
When we showed up early for our reservation, we were greeted like regulars even though it was our first visit. We stopped at the bar and ordered two glasses of Cava from Casey, our pleasant, friendly, informative bartender.
Before long, our table was ready and we were escorted to our table in the beautiful, if a little dimly lit dining room. The menu here is mainly small plate, meant for sharing type of set up. There are a few larger options listed under the Prime Meats section, but since we had steak the night before, we decided to stick with the smaller options.
Dish #1
Roasted Bone Marrow with Rioja Braised Shallot Marmalade and Grilled Bread.
Bone Marrow is everywhere these days, but we love it and order it just about every time we see it. This was one of our favorite versions ever. The combination of the Rich, Meaty Marrow, Sweet Shallots, Crunchy, Perfectly Grilled Bread was one of the best bites I've had in a long time.
Dish #2
Grilled Cheese and Smoked Bacon Dumplings on Tomato Soup.
These one bite wonders were the highlight of the night. They brought back childhood memories of dipping my grilled Velveeta sandwich into my Campbell's Tomato Soup, only a thousand times better!
Dish #3
"Fish and Chips" Tacos, Beer Battered Sea Bass, Chile-Lime Slaw, Crispy Matchstick Potatoes.
This was our least favorite dish of the night. It was still very good, but more one note than our other selections.
Dish #4
Basil Pesto Ravioli with Rock Shrimp and Tomato Fondue.
Excellent little pillows of pasta filled with a flavorful Pesto. They would've been fine on their own, but the sauce and perfectly cooked, juicy Shrimp took it to another level.
We were filling up so we decided against Dessert, but there were several items that looked very interesting that we will definitely save room for next time. Beauty and Essex is easily wheelchair accessible and service is wonderful. With so many dining options in Vegas, we only have two restaurants on our must visit list (N9NE and Julian Serrano Tapas). Beauty and Essex is a strong contender to become the third member!
