For my brown folks,…read more You know that feeling of being watched by a hawk by a racist solely because you are a minority? Well, come on in - you'll surely feel out of place in this store. One would think security cameras in every corner would be enough, but no! My wife and I are pretty used to being watched in places where certain people think we don't belong in. But hey, this is 2021 and racist people just need to be called out. For my non-brown people, They sell good stuff here! They got a business card that offers 20% off once every week. Radical stuff that you won't come across in every thrift shop. Lady was super nice besides the subtle racism.

Wow, so this place is positively dripping in elegance from ages past. Do you need a masonic stained…read moreglass window? Maybe not but they have them. What about a gilded room that looks like it was ripped out of Versailles itself? I mean, who DOESN'T want that...? Or retro lighting fixtures from virtually every decade since the light bulb became a thing? The shop is overflowing with antiques and there are allegedly many additional warehouses of items behind the scenes. This does, at times, make navigation around all of the stuff hard, so this store may prove challenging if you have mobility difficulties or small children. The revolving nature of the items also means that not everything has an apparent price so there is also the danger of falling for something (literally or figuratively) to find out it is several hundred, if not thousands, of dollars more than you expected. However, most items appear to be quite good quality (staff indicated that they sell a lot of items to movie/television sets) and refurbishment + transportation is included in the price in some of the larger items (stained glass windows, for example). The rear portion of the shop also has a work area and I think they offer restoration classes. Definitely a unique place that fits in and adds to the eclectic vibe of Middletown. You might wander in to find yourself dazedly wandering out 75 minutes later.

Dined here on a Monday night and ordered the Beauty for Two pro fixed for $99 for two people. It…read moreincludes two appetizers, two sides, one entree and one dessert to be shared by two people. For appetizers, we had the grilled cheese tomato soup dumplings and French dips which were delicious though the baguette was a bit too hard. For an entree we had the pesto ravioli which was fresh and perfectly al dente. The Mac and cheese that we had as a side was very heavy and a bit greasy. We also ordered a filet mignon since we were sharing between three people. It was perfectly cooked to medium and the demi glacé was perfect. Sharing the price fixe for 2 and ordering an additional entree was plenty for us and we got to try a variety of things. There is no kids menu but Jonathan, our server was nice enough to let us know which dudes or entrees the kitchen could customize to make kid-friendly. My daughter ordered the mac and cheese side and it was plenty for a kids entree. Overall, I think Beauty & Essex is fun for a special occasion dinner, even for a family dining either tween/teenage children. We saw mostly couples dining but didn't feel out of place for dinner at 6pm on a Monday night.

The menu describes the portions as "shareable" and "for the table," which led us to expect more than just three chicken meatballs or three scallops per dish. The chicken meatballs arrived only room temperature at best, and while the scallops themselves were flavorful, the rice served with them was not. Bread is available only upon request, and considering the prices, the overall experience didn't feel like a good value. What was most surprising was that both dishes arrived in less than seven minutes, making the meal feel more like fast food than a leisurely dining experience.
