   YES! GO! YES!! Went for the first time and I absolutely will be back. We went early so it wasn’t busy yet but everything was on point. We had the hush puppies, colossal shrimp, lamb chops, blacken chicken pasta and honey bourbon sweet potato chips. YES TO IT ALL!!

   It was my first time there. Hostess and bartender were extremely nice. It took a long time to receive food. Waiter was nice but not very attentive and kept mixing up bill orders.

   I took my wife out on a date to try something new.we attended on R&B Saturdays. The DJ was great. Drinks were tasty. Food was good, but pricing didn’t match portion size. The only negative is the service. We had 2 different waiters. One didn’t submit our initial order which caused a delay in receiving our order. And the other didn’t check on us too often. The DJ played great music which kept our mind not too focused on the delay of our order. We plan to return again to give it another shot, because the vibe was nice.

   I really enjoyed myself at Essies. Besides my overcooked chicken wing appetizer, the food was pretty good. Loved the vibe. I was signing along to all the good music. Would like to revisit to watch a live band.

   The feel of a lounge with the food of a first rate restaurant. This is becoming my favorite place to go on a Friday for happy hour or date night. I love the Lamb, but do wish you got a few more pieces. Still, it's a good value for the price. The drinks are great. Tasty and strong without being too strong.

   The atmosphere, the service, and the food was superb. The only criticism I have is, possibly for the price, serve a bit bigger portions. The food was so good that my husband and I didn't mind.
