They know how to celebrate a special occasion :)
Had dinner here with 4 friends to celebrate 2 birthdays. I made a reservation through Open Table and noted that we had a special occasion. Wow! We received 2 rounds of shooters for the table on the house, along with dessert! We really didn't expect such great treatment.
We ordered almost all of the apps and shared. The bone marrow, cauliflower and sweetbreads were my fave. I thought they were good sized portions for sharing, unlike other restaurants were you literally get 1 bite. We also shared the short rib which wS tender and full of flavour.
Cocktails were awesome and I really enjoyed the strawberry caipirinha.
There was a huge rush at one point in the evening and even though the staff were super busy, they didn't look at all stressed out and still remembered to check in on us.
Overall, East Thirty-Six was a pleasant surprise. Good food and service with decent prices to match the quality of food. My only qualm would be the volume of the music (fun sort of remixed 20's music) which made it a bit difficult to hear one another across the table over dinner. Though that would not stop me from returning in the future if in the neighbourhood and craving a cocktail, or again for a celebratory dinner.
