- CCassandraNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe went to Essex for Thanksgiving dinner and it was fantastic. It was relatively quiet and the staff were more than welcoming. They were so polite in taking the orders of a large group and were very patient with our two children. The holiday had a pre-fixe meal and we all got to try new takes on classic Thanksgiving foods. It was delicious. The quality of food and the portion size for the price was great. Thank you all!More infoEssexPrice: Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Lower East Side•4.6

- JJuanNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 14, 2024Had a great experience. The food and drinks were a highlight - it was so tasty. Some of the best Mexican food in the area. Service was a little slow but it was a busy night. Staff was very friendly. The noise level was my one complaint. It was mostly a normal noise level but some random songs would be extremely loud. It wasn’t bad enough to take away from the night.More infoCasa BondPrice: Expensive• Mexican• NoHo•4.6
