The Essex

if there was ever a restaurant the cared about the quality of food they put in front of their guest, this is it. The Essex is our go to date night restaurant, and it is hard to imagine ANY other restaurants in the area live up the consistency and quality Chef Taylor and his team put forth. I am reviewing after 5 visits in 2 months and this Asian menu is so freakin addicting! Sushi lovers to steak lovers, this is worth the drive and deserves all the attention it can get!

Very nice place! Good food, good staff, good owner! He came to our table to make sure we were satisfied and even gave us a free dessert! The place was well organized and the bathrooms were clean...that tells me that the whole place is clean! I would go back...

We had the pleasure of dining at The Essex Restaurant with friends & were delighted yet again with the creativity of the exotic ingredients. The venison pineapple dish was most delectable- What an amazing combination !!! Our server, Peter, was excellent & the atmosphere was cozy & inviting. This is one of our favorite special occasion places !!

This restaurant was the best surprise I've had in a dining experience. They have something for everyone. First they change their menu every 3 months. Spending 3 months creating the menu. Currently their menu is Brazilian. The traditional Brazilian foods were amazing. The chef does an outstanding job of taking traditional food and putting a twist on it to make it his own. From what i noticed, the chef did a great job of stopping by and seeing all the guests. After a quick conversation with him, it was apparent he took great pride in his work and he had tons of passion for food. The chicken stew had more flavor than could be processed in one bite. And the chef did an amazing job at tying everything together. We tried his feijoada and it was honestly one of the best things I've ever tasted. The spirits list was extensive. And had quite a wide range every spirit imaginable. Definitely amazing new restaurant that is a must try. If you're willing to step out of your comfort zone you will definitely be rewarded with amazing meal that you would have never seen coming!

Exceptional fine dining experience. The lobster and pork ramen was sensational. There is a more causal relaxed area in the back with an incredible open kitchen. It would be a great area to hang out on a Friday night. With both areas it caters to all tastes. Great flavours and the chef made everyone feel so welcome. Will certainly be coming back.
