Old school hidden 💎...:Update Dec 26 The all 5⭐ Only apply for the Mon and Tues that the kindest expert Mixologist bartender is there...London. Food is excellent I've had the Essence wings, shrimp cocktail, and a few others...all very well prepared and presented. As far as drinks it's the small things like a lime in your corona or a cherry and orange slice with your whiskey sour that adds to the aesthetic..maybe even a welcoming "how are you, what can I get you". Not pet peeving, but let your top bartender who can make a drank, who is personable and charismatic be the one to teach these very unprofessional nasty attitude bartenders who were serving today(Dec 26):an I ain't talking bout Felicia,😑, in a uniformed way. I usually get down wit my grub drinks n fellow patrons, always a great vibe. One negative don't make me forget the other 5 positive. Visit...eat...enjoy...great place overall.
On Saturday 12/2023 we held a family dinner for my aunt 80th birthday the food was amazing and the bartender did an awesome job on the drinks..the atmosphere was great. I would like to thank Marilyn and her staff for an outstanding job everything was wonderful!!!!..Hope to visit again on my next trip the NYC...
Catfish under cooked, calamari horrible, grilled shrimp good, fried shrimp good, collard greens disgusting! Bartender Natasha was very professional and great hostess! Drinks were good prices for bottle of wine was GREAT!
The only place you can go now adays n feel safe and everyone is so friendly. I absolutely love Arthur the owner. Always a smile as he walks by. My sister died and the love and peace I got was awesome. Come on down on à Friday night for karaoke and sing with me. It's my peaceful night.
Had a a wonderful time.. Great Live music😊
Came here for a drink and seafood, and they delivert!!!
My waiter was a male, and he was super accommodating, especially for a busy Friday evening.
My only gripe was that my food came out not so hot. It taste freshly made, I think it sat waiting too long, to be picked up.
Meal: seafood combo. Includes Grilled and fried shrimp, calamari, and catfish strips. With a side of Pinot!!
Definitely a locals bar with good vibes. Good food and drinks and attentive staff. Went for Drag BINGO hosted by Veronica ConstantLay and she was LOVELY.
I love knowing our parents, aunties/uncles, and grandparents have an enjoyable place to eat & turn up. I love dropping by whenever I'm near.
This place is a staple for me! The Essence Honey wings and catfish straps make me break my diet every other week! 😩 I've been going here for YEARS and I've never been disappointed with the service, food or drinks. Plus, they have Karaoke which is fun and a dope happy hour menu!
Cool spot. Food so so...I think I may have gone on a bad night. There was only one person working the bar so we waited on drinks and food a little longer than usual. Drinks were made well and served with a smile which is always nice.
Old School bar with reasonable drinks! The food is really good...
First, this venue is much bigger than I expected and there is a lot of seating! I attended an event here and was impressed with the food and drink options that were reasonably priced, and the backyard area is really nice. This is definitely a dive bar and the bartenders are super nice. Essence also hosts a lot of different events like karaoke, and is available to rent out for larger events
