The Elizabeth Taylor Lounge



Tucked within Jesse’s is a room that asks for nothing but your presence. The Elizabeth Taylor Lounge is where evenings slow, where conversation deepens over vintage pours, and where the world outside fades to a whisper.
From the glow and gather of the bar to the quiet refinement of the Elizabeth Taylor Lounge, the space unfolds like an Atlantic retreat. Thoughtfully designed and layered with soul, Jesse’s offers a setting where every gathering becomes part of its story.
Jesse's has three distinct spaces in Wilmington, NC: the bar, the main dining room, and the private Elizabeth Taylor Lounge for groups of up to 14.

At the heart of Jesse’s, the Bar is where refined elegance meets the vibrant rhythm of the coast. From the first martini poured at four to the last glass shared before midnight, it transforms with the hour, from early aperitifs to late-night conversations. It’s a place where the Jesse’s experience begins, flows, and comes to life.


The main dining room captures the soul of coastal hospitality: warm, generous, and unhurried. Anchored by white walls hung with custom paintings drawn from Jesse’s own life, high ceilings, and a softness of greenery, it’s a space that feels familiar yet special, a place to gather, to linger, and to feel at home.
