Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in Essex

We had a wonderful dining experience and also some time spent at tge bar first. The ambiance is lovely, lively and fun! Jesse, our server was great as well. We were not rushed, the food was delicious and while the service was attentive it was never intrusive. We could not have asked for a more lovely experience. Well done in all!

Excellent food and service and ambiance! I mean, there’s pictures of the GOAT everywhere, how cool is that? The garlic bread is the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back!

The food was absolutely delicious! It was a fantastic overall experience. The staff, owner, and chef were all incredibly attentive. In true Mediterranean style, they gave us ample time to savor the delectable appetizers, wine, and meal without any rush. It was a really nice evening with 4 out of 4 of us giving 5 stars.

Our favorite restaurant. Last night we had oysters on the half shell with a fabulous vinaigrette. We shared a Shrimp and Clam handpie that was out of this world. I had the Roasted Monkfish and my husband had the Prime strip. For dessert was the Sugar Pumpkin Creme Brulé. Once again, Chef Taylor waved his magic wand and provided dishes that continue to leave beautiful memories. Our main server Peter, and Renee were great with every attention to detail. Every single meal there has been an adventure leaving us begging for more.

One of, if not the best rib steaks I've ever had, and far better than the other steakhouse in Mohegan Sun. There is nothing negative about the entire dining experience at Todd English Tuscany.
