"Ate dinner here before a concert. For a Monday evening, it was quite busy. Mussels were excellent with a white wine and onion sauce. There were some nice peppers which added a hint of spice. Bread was great with soft butter. Pasta Bolognese was tasty however pasta seemed slightly undercooked. Fries were salty and dry. Tiramisu was okay."

"Ambiance and service is impeccable! Our server was very lovely, talkative and respectful, brought us extra plates and took very good care of us! Very much recommend the butterscotch bread pudding! We got the fried calamari as well which is decent!"

"For dinner, I arrived with a party of 7 for a Wednesday 6:30pm restaurant. The table only needed a few minutes to prepare; staff invited us to the bar to wait but proved unnecessary. I managed to try the fried calamari appetizer ($18) and the Wednesday plat du jour, the whole roasted branzino ($42). The fried calamari proved addictive. The light batter with old bay seasoning and aioli reminded me quite a lot of Taiwanese style popcorn chicken, packed with flavor from 5 spice. The whole roasted branzino also impressed. I did not expect it to be deboned. The branzino itself was flaky, not dry, light in flavor, and not fishy with a crisped, taut skin - exactly what a roasted white fish should be. Size seemed to be 1/2 - 2/3 lb portion. I also wasn't sure how the dish would incorporate blue crab. Turns out, the crab meat was stuffed into the middle of the fish. Imagine butterflying a chicken, adding stuffing, and folding it up again. This added an additional briny flavor, almost acting like a really fancy salt rub. The fried shredded turnips helped cut the fish's oil, and the hollandaise added depth to the savoriness. The wine program also impressed. One member of the party who works in the industry talked up a storm with the server about stocking interesting bottles. One example was from a German vineyard, Adamswein, that had gained prominence from their chardonnays and pinot noirs. Service was pleasant throughout. Staff maintained their attention to detail when plating, clearing plates, etc. They also knew exactly what to say to this party, from waiting for some late members (a round of drinks?) to waffling about appetizers (we can put in a few and get more as you decide)."

"Amazing brunch, and even better service. I will say the Bloody Mary was pretty bad, but the food and service greatly made up for it. The burrata salad was a highlight!"

"I dined at Eastern Standard last weekend and had a fantastic time. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, especially the hosts and our server, Lily. The restaurant was clean, and had a cozy atmosphere. I was with my younger brothers, aged 10 and 11, and they were given crayons and activity sheets, as well as the opportunity to draw on the paper covering the table, which kept them entertained all evening. As starters we had the bone marrow and oysters. The bone marrow was ridiculously rich and delicious, and the oysters were very fresh. The special on Friday was lobster gnocchi, which I ordered. The sauce was super creamy, the pasta was pillowy soft and the lobster was great. However the highlight of the meal were the desserts. We had pear sorbet, a brownie topped with praline ice cream and caramel, crème brûlée and our server Lily was kind enough to send us the bread pudding on the house. Every dessert was uniquely delicious, and the brownie was LIFE CHANGING. This was a great experience all around and my family and I will definitely be coming back."
