    Esperanto’s food was exceptional. I will absolutely return to try dinner as we were there for brunch. It’s very casual, so don’t go for the ambiance. Truly my only complaint is they didn’t have AC and it was very hot outside. Otherwise, really wonderful!

    We came for happy hour ann sat indoors. Started off with calamari, sangria and passion fruit mojito. The drinks were great. Calamari had no flavoring needed to be paired with the dipping sauce. The grilled salmon with spinach and rice was delicious. My friend had had hanger steak and really enjoyed it. The waiter was pretty attentive and provided good service.

    Support your local restaurants! We came from Jersey because the food and ambiance is always amazing. I have been coming here since its opening. It is my favorite and my forever place to have fun and eat and drink well.

    Food and drinks were delicious! Well proportioned servings, neither too much nor too little. Service was friendly and attentive. Price point was excellent, especially for Manhattan.
