I received a gift-card to East 36 and I was excited to try out this new spot. I went during winterlicious and I regret to inform you that it was not what I expected. The only reason why I did not enjoy my meal was because a lot of the choices contained a nut product. My soup had a nuts, my steak had nuts and my dessert had pistachio. I am not a fan of any nut products and this was a total turn off. If more than half the items on the set menu contain a nut product, they should really rethink the dishes for those are allergic or just purely does not like them. The ambience was okay..not amazing but definitely crowded and disorganized. I made a reservation through opentable for 7pm and did not get seated till 7:20pm. There is no space to wait inside so you are in between diners at the table and squished between guests coming in and exiting. Tiny place..would not recommend.
