Fantastic late night dinner at Essex Bar! Yellowtail Crudo was beautiful and a refreshing start to a wonderful meal, and Duck Pasta was perfectly prepared. Desserts, especially the flourless chocolate cake were standouts. Wife had the bone-in strip steak, which was huge and flavorful. Nice selection value wines. Will be back.

We wanted to eat somewhere close to the Tenement Museum, and we picked this. Lovely atmosphere in here. I had the crispy rice salad, and my companion and I split the banana bread. Both were delicious! It looks like a great bar to sit at as well. Servers were attentive but not overbearing.

My first time going to Tudor Steakhouse and I must say I had a great time. It was my children’s birthday my four-year-old and my 17-year-old and they enjoy their self. They have an older guy there who plays the guitar beautiful, the service was wonderful and the food was great.. I can honestly say I would definitely go back.
