位於Lower East Side​的優質美式​餐廳

I keep coming back to Essex because it's close to me on the train and the staff never disappoints. I don't remember the name of my server but she is a Black woman with a trucker cap. She has been my server the last two times I was there and she is a phenomenal individual. From her attention to her professionalism to her patience, she has made the experience that much better every time. She da bomb diggity!

Best Mexican food I’ve had in a while. I especially liked the elote and my steak fajitas.

En général un peu dispendieux pour ce qu'on a reçu...., tout était ok, mais sans plus.

If you order a cheeseburger as I did, note that's all you get, no little greens or fries with it. Also, it's the yellow sliced, non-cheese cheese. The host noted that the people in front of us did not have a reservation and then disappeared without saying anything to us--we did have a reservation, and our friends (as it turned out) were already there, but we ended up waiting about ten minutes for the host to arrive, ask about our reservation and shown to our table. I had asked for a quiet table so we could talk. I understand it's never "quiet," but did not expect to be seated right next to the speaker and right next to others on the long bench. We were shouting just to hear each other. They could have given us a separate table atleast, away from the speakers. I won't be coming back though everyone was friendly, because this is New York and there are other choices.

We always have a great time at Bar Contra. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Small plates from wild air are delicious and the cocktails are creative and there is something for every one. Theo is the best! We always try to sit at the bar when him and his colleague are there, usually on Fridays. Will be coming back repeatedly
