Essex food and service were totally on point. Vibe was very mellow, but we were dining on a Sunday night. We shared a burrata flatbread which was very good but the steak was the star. The Porterhouse Steak for Two, which could easily serve three, was on another level of awesome and was cooked to perfection. I've been to all the name steakhouses and this may have been the best steak I ever had. Shout out to Kate, our server, for her excellent food and wine recommendations. Will be back!
