I had the best meal of my life at Beauty & Essex. The environment is so fun, going through the jewelry pawn shop inside the Cosmo makes it feel like an event. The menu is set up small plate style which is a perfect opportunity to try lots of different things. We ordered the tuna tacos, empanadas, tomato tartare, tomato soup dumplings, & ricotta chicken meatballs. The tomato soup dumplings were incredible - everything you think of with comfort food in one perfect bite. The tomato tartare was like nothing I had ever had before - tangy and tart topped with a smooth quail egg. The meatballs had flavor I didn't even realize could be created with truffle oil and ricotta. This was an absolutely incredible meal.
