About us

Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in The Pawn Shop complete with vintage treasures, curated contemporary pieces and an eclectic array of “one-off” pieces of jewelry. Continuing past The Pawn Shop, the host greets you in the Jewelry Box and takes you past upholstered walls into the Pearl Lounge and bar. You’ll then find the Peacock Dining Room and the Locket Private Dining Room separated by a screen wall of antique frames. Each of these rooms are inspired by the delicate, yet glamorous details of jewelry. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course with unique shareable dishes and twists on classic cocktails. Acclaimed chef and co-creator Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.
