I rarely write reviews on restaurants but here it goes.
Went to Essen, ordered a couple appetizers and main dishes. The food is garbage and tasteless . The chefs need to learn how to season their food ie, take a lesson in salting your food.
Soup had zero salt and undercooked noodles.
Brisket was terrible meat and under salted.
Peroggies came with nothing to dip them in, they were chewy and tasteless.
Chicken schnitzel was under salted and didn't come with any starch to compliment the 20 some odd dollar dish.
In summary, save your money, time, and calories and go to enoteca right down the block if your in the area.
