| - They have some really great shareable plates and possibly one my favorite places to now get fries downtown.
Food (4/5): Came here with a friend lured by their $1 oyster deal and East Thirty-Six did not disappoint. We ordered their fries with chicken skin, lamb burger, kimchi fries, then burrata. Now I've got to highlight their fries. I'm not sure what they do to them but its thick cut, soft in texture and flavorful as hell. How? I dunno, but along with the lemon aoili we ate it so fast that we had to try their kimchi fries. A side note on the chicken skin - not sure what it adds to the dish, but it made it interesting. Over to the kimchi fries. They do a great job. Kimchi flavor on par, not too saucy and a good balance of Korean flavors. Love love love. Lamb burger: soft patty, nice green sauce and great soft bun that altogether was an incredible mix of earthy flavors. It's quite a different meal and take on a burger in general, but bite after bite it grows on you and you are left wondering why you decided to share the burger. Burrata: okayy so it's burrata (sack of soft mozzarella cheese) paired with grilled buttercup squash, pureed eggplant and pangritata (crispy breadcrumbs aka poor man's Parmesan). While the mozzarella tasted like mozzarella, everything else was intensely flavored... and not in a good way. It felt like everything was screaming for attention in your mouth - eggplant was way too smokey, the pangritata was far too salty and the something freaky was happening with the squash. Mozzarella being mute on flavor was pretty much the star of this dish. I wouldn't order the Burrata again, however I would come back to try more of their shareable plates :)
Price (3/5): My friend and i ordered 18 buck a shuck oysters, chicken fries, kimchi fries, lamb burger and then the burrata. Safe to say we were hella full and had to take home the kimchi fries. For 4 dishes it came up approx $60... so $30ish for each of us. It's a slightly pricey adventure, but I'm satisfied paying that much.
Service (4.5/5): great! They are attentive, won't hesitate to answer questions and my water was always filled :) When the restaurant got busier it was alittle hard to grab their attention considering there were only 2 of them to take orders, serve food, and make drinks... heh.
Ambiance (4.5/5): The place itself is small, but its very well furnished imo. The bar look classy and the although its a dark colored restaurant it's got an elevated flair to it. Safe to say, I'd bring someone here on a date :)
All in all, great experience, great food, would come back!
