Be forewarned! We went for Brunch. The food and service were excellent. The ambience was less than stellar because of the parents letting children run around and shriek. By the time we were finished eating there were at least 3 other tables with rambunctious children. It made it difficult to have a civilized conversation. We felt sorry for the wait staff having to maneuver around them and of course having to clean up after them. Will have to pick a less toddler centric time to dine at East Pole.

Our waiter was very nice but service slow. Food generally good - vegetarians in our group were very happy, but the burger missed the mark.

Not the liveliest brunch scene on this particular weekend but so is summer in NYC, many away in the Hamptons and abroad. Nonetheless had a beautiful and delicious outdoor brunch. Banana bread was incredible, fries are always amazing and the shakshuka was cooked to perfection. I've had fun lively girls brunch inside and romantic cozy brunches outside. This place always hits. The staff are so friendly and quick. The Macro Bowl also a go to of mine. Always enjoy brunch at East Pole.
