Experience Reviews
Transparent, experience-based reviews of the places that deserve attention — and the ones that don’t.
La Boca ~ NYC, NY
La Boca is a moody, refined Argentinian dining room inside the Faena Hotel, known for its rich flavors, dim lighting, and theatrical red-and-gold ambiance. The energy feels intimate yet glamorous, making it a perfect place for slow, indulgent meals and elevated conversation.
Monarch ~ Dallas, TX
Monarch is a high-rise, Italian steakhouse known for its premium cuts, indulgent sides, and sweeping skyline views. The space is dramatic and refined, making it perfect for a polished night out with expertly cooked steaks at the center of the experience.
Beauty & Essex ~ NYC, NY
Beauty & Essex is a high-energy, speakeasy-style restaurant known for its glamorous atmosphere, elevated comfort food, and nonstop buzz. As a former server at Beauty & Essex, I’m especially tuned into the pacing, service, and details that make the experience work.
