Essex Restaurants

The Highlawn is nothing short of spectacular! From the moment you step into the elegant setting, you’re greeted with breathtaking views of the New York City skyline and an ambiance that radiates sophistication. The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of seasonal flavors and timeless classics. I highly recommend the filet mignon, which was cooked to absolute perfection, and the lobster bisque, which was rich and flavorful. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable—attentive, professional, and warm. Our server ensured every detail of our dining experience was flawless, enhancing the evening. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in an upscale dinner, The Highlawn is the perfect destination. It’s an unforgettable culinary experience that truly elevates dining. I can’t wait to return!

This was such a unique and amazing experience! I came with two friends, we sat at the temaki counter and it was the perfect girls night out. Our rolls were so good and I loved that we got to pace ourselves while we ate. We also got the mushroom dip and enjoyed that as well! I absolutely want to come back here with my boyfriend. We were in and out in 40 minutes - so quick! Absolutely worth it.

Never disappoints. A favorite every time I attend a concert at the Wellmont Theater.

Lunch. Had 3 small plates which were plentiful and delicious. The combo bread basket was plentiful. Beautifully decorated Efficient and friendly staff

A lovely evening celebrating our 29th anniversary. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Food, fresh and delicious. I had been wanting scallops for weeks, and these were perfectly cooked and delicious. The sauces were so creamy and delightful.
