This was an impromptu late lunch at Essex since we couldn’t get into any other spots without a reservation, and Essex did not disappoint! We were greeted by Reggie at the door, who was so pleasant and welcoming—definitely gave me nostalgic vibes from my days of wanting to move to Charlotte. Our waitress, Toni, was incredibly patient, attentive, and professional. We started with the hummus and the bang bang grouper entrée. I went with the grilled salmon entrée, which came with creamy tomato butter, grilled broccolini, green garbanzo beans, roasted almonds, and feta. Every bite was perfectly balanced, and I enjoyed every dish. The restaurant was clean and presentable, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped by for lunch on a week day. It wasn’t too busy. Service was fast. Can’t remember what I ordered, Philly sandwich, it was spicy and really good. Enjoyed my food. I was seated inside and ambience was quiet, maybe due to timing and day of week. Overall pleasant experience and I will be back.

First time at Essex Bar and I was pleased. We were seated right away which was a plus for a Saturday evening. The food was very tasty and the waitress made great suggestions. My only issue with this Bar was they didn’t give enough food. I ordered shrimp and grits and it wasn’t much at all. The music was on point. Overall 8/10 and definitely return.

I ate here about 3 weeks ago. The lamb chops were delicious. I should have posted sooner so I could give a better review, but I enjoyed my meal. There was an event somewhere else in Charlotte this same night so the restaurant was not full, which I didn’t mind at all. I’d definitely return.
