| - So excited about all the new bars and restaurants in uptown, and by far most excited about Essex right now! It's been open for not too long and i've already been there enough times to have tried 80% of their menu! The best part about this place is the vibe & ambiance, followed by the food and drinks! I've only ever been here on a Friday or Saturday night, and it's always packed and lively. It's a good place for a small group or a large group.. as long as you're not looking for a quiet and serene restaurant experience :) my favorite drink - simply sage martini! The G & T is nice too, and so is the margarita. If you're looking for a sweeter cocktail, try the Mediterranean mojito. I've noticed they have a pretty neat red wine offering too. Let's talk about the food, shall we! I haven't had anything yet I didn't like.. but if I had to recommend some of my faves - the warm Brussels Caesar, Korean BBQ shrimp tacos, gambas, calamari, lamp chop lollipops! The butter chicken is pretty good too, and the garlic naan - well that's really good... it's more garlic bread than naan, but it tastes great with the butter chicken!! :) If you're in the mood for flatbreads, you can't go wrong with any of their choices. Here's to hoping that they continue to maintain the quality of their food and drinks and fab atmosphere!
