Ansonia​のベストバーラウンジ

Everything was well beyond what we expected- the food was some of the best we have had in a very long rime and the drinks were INCREDIBLE. Tom, who was our server but is also the beverage manager, really enhanced our night with all of his spot-on suggestions that truly made the night unforgettable! We already have made plans to return!

Our dinner with friends at The Essex was beyond expectations. Service was friendly, knowledgeable, and well paced. We opted for the three course price fixe and were pleasantly surprised by the appetizer course we were served before the salad course. At $79 per person the dinner was very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Our first and main courses were outstanding. My strip steak perfectly cooked to medium rare and the whole table enjoyed the frites. The halibut and scallops along with the sauces and vegetables were excellent. Dessert choices were very generous although I hit my limit after a few bites of the baked Alaska. The menu was heavy on seafood which restricted our friend who has a fish and shellfish allergy. But once aware of that and a nut allergy, every dish was carefully adjusted for nuts. Dining at the Essex is a wonderful treat. We will be back.

I celebrated my birthday here. Overall it was good! Me and my friends enjoyed ourselves. Only thing I will say is that they told me that they are NOT selling hookah anymore. I was very upset because that was my main reason of why I decided to celebrate my birthday there. Few hours later I see a group get hookah brought out to them….

We have brunch at Atelier Florian every Sunday morning for over a year. We have had a delicious meal from a varied and enticing menu in a quiet, intimate atmosphere every week. We have gotten to know our favorite waitress, Trinity, and all the other waitstaff, from the chef (SO glad he's back!!) to the busboys. Everyone does his/her job pleasantly and professionally. The Bloody Marys are the absolute best! Every item on the Sunday Brunch menu is worth a try, from the Eggs Benedict to the "Homerun." The atmosphere is impressively understated, casual, and comfortable. Background music is pleasant while being hardly noticeable. (We miss the live guitar and piano music of the past that made the experience even more special.) The fact that we continue to go back week after week says it all. Whether we go alone or meet friends or relatives, Sunday Brunch at Atelier Florian is one of the highlights of our week.

The perfect burger. Cocktails are delicious and well balanced. Staff is friendly. Would return multiple times!
