About

ESQ Bar + Dining offers a sophisticated, moody atmosphere in the QVB, perfect for date nights. The food, particularly the steak and seafood, receives high praise for quality and presentation. However, service consistency is a recurring theme; while some guests have stellar experiences, others report long waits and indifferent staff. It is a beautiful venue, but the experience can be hit or miss depending on the night.
