Overpriced burger on a stale bun. Fries were average at best, and slightly undercooked. The tap water was great though,

The East Pole is my neighborhood favorite. The food is always delicious, the service always impeccable. I started with the gazpacho soup, which tasted bright and refreshing. Then the amazing macro bowl with brown rice, ripe avocado, white beans, red cabbage, and added a piece of salmon. (It was too much food, lol!) My tamarind-basil-bourbon cocktail tasted like summertime on-the-rocks. Compliments to the chef and all the wait staff, with a shout-out to the best-styled host Kyle. See you all again soon!
