A Memorable Evening at Essence Restaurant and Bar Our recent visit to Essence Restaurant and Bar was nothing short of exceptional. With four of us dining—two celebrating birthdays—the restaurant made the occasion feel truly special. A thoughtful birthday card was waiting at the table, and the celebrants were treated to complimentary desserts, a gracious and much-appreciated gesture. We started the evening with expertly crafted cocktails. The Cosmopolitan, topped with vapor bubbles, was as visually stunning as it was delicious, and the option to have bourbon in our Manhattans smoked added a sophisticated touch. From appetizers to entrées, the food was outstanding—beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and served in generous portions. The wine service was impeccable, enhancing an already elevated dining experience. Desserts were both inventive and indulgent, a perfect finale to the meal. The atmosphere at Essence strikes a perfect balance between elegance, coziness, and sophistication, making it an ideal setting for a special night out. With entrées averaging around $50, it’s a worthwhile indulgence. We look forward to returning as soon as possible!

Our third time dining here and we will continue to come back. We always feel so welcomed and cared for while at Essence. They pay attention to the details and desire everything to be perfect. We enjoyed our conversations with Brad (aka Bow tie Brad- the owner) and his intentional way of noticing the details and taking care of us. The food was perfection. We ordered the Japanese sweet potatoes and carrots for appetizers. Delicious! The whipped butter that comes with the rolls is always divine. Entrees were Sea Bass and Seafood- both so good! Of course we will be back. Elkhart is lucky to have this gem.

Brad and his team are amazing! They are all very welcoming and kind. Everyone that we came into contact with spoke with us and asked how our day was. Our dinner and drinks were delicious! Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our 45th anniversary celebration. Brad even gave us a very nice hand written note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. And thanks to him and his wonderful crew it was!! 5-stars plus!
