Essence By The Grid

Loved the waiters & waitresses. Very convenient and conducive environment for work meetings and brunches. Although I was accidentally overcharged and had to wait 3 weeks for a refund which threw me off. Asides that, good food & space! Budget for 2 people should be 30k +

It's an overall nice place for an intimate date if it's not fully packed because it's quite a small space. Food tastes really good especially the seafood pasta I just wish there were more than just 3 piece of prawns (the small size) in it. The staff are nice and welcoming so customer service is good. Budget for two should be from N25,000.

This was part of my saved list so it was finally good to visit📝. Had dinner as a trio. There was some road work ongoing which made driving in a bit tricky but glad it was being done👍🏽. Parking was a breeze. Loved how they've utilised the space and the vibe is very intimate on entry. Different lighting zones would match your mood. The music was just the right volume and vibe 🎧. I had the Virgin daiquiri and i enjoyed it! The tropical smoothie 🍹 and strawberry & banana smoothie were great as well. One of us had the hangla rice and plantain to go while we both had the mozzarella chicken burger and beef burger. They both came with French fries and we enjoyed it. Nothing like a really good messy burger 🍔. The food did not take longer than expected. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restroom was also kept clean which is something I always appreciate. Its a lovely place to visit on the mainland.

Located at Ikeja GRA, The grid has a nice ambiance and great staff. The food came quite late but was worth the wait eventually. The only thing I didn’t like was the cheesecake (which was the last available piece that day). Everything else was great, as evidenced by my plates🫠 Although space is limited and several customers had to leave as there was nowhere to seat. For lunch, a great time to arrive is 12 pm -1 pm on weekends.

First thing that stands out about this restaurant is how intimate it is. It’s tucked into a close in Ikeja, although still easily accessible. The interior of the restaurant is really chill. Soft music plays through the speaker, while the waiters get your order. Can’t say I particularly liked the food. Couldn’t decide on what to pick from the food menu. The drinks menu had good options. The turmeric rice I ended up ordering with chicken was a bit undone. Couldn’t really eat it. The chicken sauce was quite creamy. Had to request for a re-mix of my drink because it was too strong. The burger was nice, but the fries were too dry. The cheesecake was good. Had to signal the waiters to get attended to a few times. Service and quality of food might have been the way it was because it was a weekend.
