Glad to see you reviewing this place and enjoying the food. My friend told me of Essie's when she stumbled across them in their beginnings. Nice and cozy lo-key, beautiful staff, beautiful atmosphere, offers happy hour, etc....However, when i chose to visit the establishment which was in 2023 during happy hour that they offered, my food experience wasn't quite like yours in 2024. Haven't been back since. But after seeing your recent review, i will be giving checking them out again. Beautiful people, beautiful staff and beautiful lo-key atmosphere with music.
Love the look of the restaurant, the reviews on Google are great and you seemed to enjoy the food, however I wished that you respectfully asked the owner to allow you to eat the meal alone. He was literally watching you eat through the entire review. No matter how good you say it was I know that you'll never call food "bad" or "mid" to the owner's face or say that it's overpriced, and therefore can't see the review as 100% honest. Mike, give reviewers space to do their thing.
I am a homebound handicapped senior living in Wisconsin. I am on 4 health related diets which leaves me with steamed vegs, salmon, other fish etc. All very bland and mostly boring. I have followed you for a couple of years now. I guess you could say I emotionally eat through your adventures. But this video really made me jealous. LOL! It looked so good. Thanks for your videos!
Now this is one spot I'm overly glad you went to..... The owners are wonderful people, shout out to my sponsor peavey for doing the entire sound system up and down stairs. And I hope you tried the gator 🔥👍🏾
Essie's seems like such a chill spot !! And the food looks delicious !! I'm in the area in 2 weeks, hopefully i can squeeze in a visit for myself. Great review !! ❤
That food looks really good JL but I'm highly allergic to shellfish hope they have other things there that I can eat I'm going to check it out the next time I go to Jersey
