The East Pole is a charming neighborhood restaurant with a diverse menu and delicious food. Customers have enjoyed the mango-Colada rum drink special, which felt like a vacation in a glass, and the lovely outdoor seating as well as the cozy interior booths. The lively atmosphere, great service, and enthusiastic staff make this a popular spot for casual dining on the Upper East Side. Recent reviews highlight the excellent brunch experience, with dishes like the French toast described as a flavor bomb and highly recommended for sharing. The blue spirulina chia seed pudding was praised for its subtle sweetness, coconut yogurt, fresh fruit, and nutty granola. The warm and moist banana bread received high praise, while the fresh omelette was less favored due to too much spinach and a slight garlicky/fishy taste. Customers also appreciated the fabulous service, with staff like Kyle going above and beyond to ensure a great meal. The restaurant is also known for its great craft cocktails, including a lovely Sancerre, and consistently delicious food, from appetizers to dessert choices with a daily special fish from the Chef. The atmosphere is vibrant yet inviting, whether dining indoors or outside, where city noise is less disruptive and conversations are easier. The cherry pie is often described as amazing, and the staff, including Kyle the host, is very kind and accommodating. Overall, The East Pole offers nice scenery, friendly people, and satisfying bites, making it a wonderful choice for dinner or brunch on the Upper East Side.
