Housed in a century-old winery on Rivington, Essex spreads out over multiple levels but keeps a steady hum. No need to overdo it when the room’s already doing the work. The menu moves cleanly from wagyu tartare and grilled Spanish octopus into a proper dry-aged porterhouse without feeling scattered. Bottomless brunch has been a draw here long enough that it feels baked in, not bolted on.
