Superb as always! I have been to this restaurant many times and in very occasion there is something new or different in the menu to try. This is a place has such a pleasant vibe that really welcomes you and make you feel cozy and relaxed. Service is always wonderful and with its farm to table feeling and generous wine list, this is fantastic spot for nice casual dinner.

We sat outside. Food was really delicious! Service impecable. One thing: we were a party of 3 and two of us were there waiting for our friend to arrived and they didn’t sit us. Perhaps next time we can sit and have an extra drink while waiting for our friend at our table. Thanks!

East Pole has become my Go To restaurant in my neighborhood. My friends loved it last night and plan to return on their own. Unfortunately, although indoors had only another table with patrons and we asked for the music to be toned down, the music blared and wasn't dinner conversation music at all. This is the first time this has happened but it definitely detracted from our enjoyment. See you again in what I hope will be a quieter experience.

we ate indoors. on this beautiful day the many outdoor tables were packed started with smoked salmon toast and a blood Mary + mimosa. shared French toast I had a "French" omelette which was a bit bland. perhaps change the cheese? wife had eggs Benedict which she requested as "Florentine' (with spinach) which was accommodated without any fuss. otherwise everything was excellent shame we couldn't have eaten outdoors.... also a shame that the weather is turning cooler.... if it's in the 70's again and fair, give it a try. we would return

From the moment we approached Brian on the outdoor desk, we knew we were in good hands. Friendly, accommodating, in charge with an easy manner. Outdoor table, small but enough room. Our server was Hanna, who was terrific, attentive, quick to adapt to changes in our order and the plumb tart she recommended to two non-desert eaters was very good.

Went to East Pole for brunch. Food and service was outstanding. Sat outside at one of the sidewalk tables which was our preference, therefore the ambiance was given a lower score just due to noise, pedestrians, etc. Would highly recommend.

We normally love coming here for upbeat weekly dining, but last night we had the worst service and mediocre meals. We sat down and the waitress never came by for 20 minutes. We finally called her over to take our drink orders and it took 15-20 minutes for them to come. We finally asked for our waitress over again to take our meal orders. To top it all off, the burgers that we normally live, were over cooked and bland. Very disappointing.

The last time I was there Mariella was our server and she was also absolutely phenomenal, and so when she saw me this time she remembered me and we were able to connect which I thoroughly enjoyed. Also the bartender was cute

It seemed like it would be a good place, but other than the food, we were disappointed. The service was very slow, even though we got there right when they opened for brunch. The waiter was nice, but I don’t know why they were so delayed. There was a new bartender, which caused my drink to be super delayed, but I understood that. Our coffee and food still took a really long time and the waiter did apologize, but other tables seemed to finish way before we did. Willing to try again, but maybe not brunch?
