| - Restaurant & Service: The restaurant has a dark ambiance, but warmed with tea lights at each table. The leather upholstered chairs were paired with monograph glass top tables, with aluminum pendant lamps hanging above the long granite/marble bar table. The restaurant definitely had an old Hollywood feel to it. The service was great, our water glasses were never empty. Our waitress openly admitted to not knowing a lot about alcohol when asked about the cocktails, but was sweet in getting answers in a timely manner. We went to celebrate our friends birthday, and this environment was perfect! Online reservations were also helpful, and always a plus!
Drinks: Easy Thirty Six has a long list of white and red wine, and even have a couple sparkling wine options (glass and bottle). There was a long list of cocktails ($12-14 each), which all sounded absolutely delicious! I had the French Connection, and fair warning: if you don't like coriander, this is NOT your drink. It's very distinct in its taste and smell, but sweet, and beautifully presented.
Food: The menu starts with small appetizer dishes, and as you go down the list, the dishes get a bit more dense, serving as mains. The dishes are meant to be small, but are not as small as tapas plates. Can be shared, or not, completely up to you!
Fries with salted chicken skin - totally hit the spot, especially with the lemon aioli, with the chicken skin twist.
Cauliflower - Definitely a favorite. Each bite was french, well balanced, and enjoyable.
House Made Bread with Whey Butter - Nothing extraordinary, soft, but tasted a bit burnt. The butter was light and and fluffy though.
Scallop Crudo - Absolutely divine! It was a light and refreshing dish, with perfect balance of ingredients! HIGHLY recommend!
Buratta - My friends said it was delicious, and was a great vegetarian option.
Chocolate Delice - 80% cocoa chocolate something, with the consistency of a chocolate tart (somewhere between mousse and cake was how the waitress described it). If you like dark chocolate, caramel, and peanut brittle, you would love this dessert!
Lemon Custard - Fluffy, not too sweet, but not too bitter. Light way to end off your dinnner.
Overall, it was a great experience. I will definitely be coming back for drinks/wine, and look forward to trying some of the mains, including the arctic char and short ribs that previous reviewers have raved about!
