• Contemporary American • Uncasville

Booked 28 times today

Beauty & Essex has an innovative design that starts in the Pawn Shop, complete with vintage treasures and curated contemporary pieces. The host greets you in the Jewelry Box and takes you past upholstered walls into the Pearl Lounge and bar. Then you’ll find the Peacock Dining Room and the Locket Private Dining Room separated by a screen wall of antique frames. Each of these rooms are inspired by the delicate yet glamorous details of jewelry. The cuisine, much like the design, is intended to set a new course with unique shareable dishes and twists on classic cocktails. Acclaimed chef and co-creator Chris Santos was one of the pioneers of the small, share plate dining trend that has swept the nation, and with the Beauty & Essex menu, he once again has created waves on the food scene.

We had another great dining experience at TAO. My husband and I are TAO frequents and decided to bring our friends who never been. They thought the food, staff and management were top notch. We love how the management hits every table to make sure everyone is satisfied.

We stayed on a fall Friday night. Our server was lovely and provided the perfect balance of attention. We had oysters on the half shell, the steak and halibut. All were delicious and nice portions. The wine list was sufficiently varied and the glass of Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay at $14 a glass was a great pour and value. Sometimes hotel restaurants fall short, but not here. We enjoyed our meal.
