    I brought my mom and grandmother here for Mother’s Day, and we had an amazing experience! The service was great. The restaurant was busy but still relatively quiet, and tables were spaced nicely so it didn’t feel crowded. The food and drinks were delicious. We had the burrata and coconut shrimp appetizers and salads for lunch, and everything came out perfectly.

    We went for Mothers Day and had a lovely brunch/lunch with unlimited mimosas. Our server was very attentive and made sure we we didn’t have to ask for refills they just appeared. The food was wonderful. Our son-in-law who is a foodie was very happy and everyone enjoyed the apps and main courses that were ordered so much that they were shared around the table! Thank you for a great visit. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

    This was our first visit to Post Kitchen. We were celebrating Mother’s Day. It was perfect choice. Everyone’s food was delicious and beautifully presented. We all felt the meal was special and we had a delightful time. The staff was welcoming and did not rush us through our meal. Thank you for a lovely experience.

    We have experienced many great meals at Post. This wasn’t one of our favorites. The Crispy-Skinned Faroe Salmon wasn’t crispy-skinned or Faroe. It was different than the previous preparation and the menu description. The flounder special was a skimpy portion. Disappointing.

    Our waiter was wonderful and my request for a booth worked well with our party. Good food, just a bit light on the salmon dish portions for the price. However, they all were well prepared. Nice atmosphere and will return .

    The food was delicious. Great drink options and wonderful presentation of food. I had stuffed flounder. The fish was light and flakey. The mashed potatoes were nice and creamy.

FAQs

Yes, Post Kitchen & Bar is a popular date-night spot. Guests repeatedly praise its warm, upscale-casual ambiance, attentive service, craft cocktails and live music on the patio, which make it great for a special evening. Expect a menu of seafood, steaks and shareable starters (oysters, sticky ribs, short ribs) and cozy outdoor fire pits for evening seating. If you want a quieter table, ask for an indoor seating away from the patio music when you book.

Portions are generally moderate, many guests find entrees appropriately plated for a higher-end casual restaurant, with some dishes large enough to share (chicken entrees and surf & turf mentioned). A few guests felt certain items were smaller for the price, while others called portions generous. If you’re sharing starters or want extra value, consider ordering a few apps (charcuterie, oysters, sticky ribs) alongside an entrée.

Post is open most days for lunch and dinner: Mon–Thu 11:30 am–9:00 pm; Fri–Sat 11:30 am–10:00 pm; Sun 11:00 am–8:30 pm. Happy Hour runs daily from 3:00 pm–6:00 pm. Guests also report special holiday and prix-fixe menus on occasions like Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve.

Yes for family-friendly seating; accessibility details are not clearly listed. Many guests bring families, celebrate birthdays, and mention kids and teens dining comfortably, brunch is popular with families. If you need accessible seating or specific accommodations, call ahead so the team can arrange a suitable table.

For a lively experience, visit during weekend evenings or when there’s live music on the patio (many guests enjoy Wed/Fri music nights). For a quieter meal, try weekday lunch or an early weekday dinner. Monday nights are popular for the surf-and-turf special and are recommended for value-minded diners.

Post offers indoor dining, a lively indoor/outdoor bar area, and a popular outdoor patio with fire pits and live music. Guests mention booths, bar seating and comfortable patio tables. The restaurant does not advertise private dining rooms, though they accommodate larger parties at tables.

Warm, upscale-casual and conversation-friendly, with a lively edge on the patio. Guests praise the relaxed, attractive decor, cozy fire pits, and frequent live music that creates a fun vibe. Note: some guests report loud nights when both indoor and outdoor music run, while others enjoyed quiet, peaceful evenings inside. Overall it’s great for date nights, social dinners and brunch.

Business casual is the suggested dress code. Guests typically dress smart-casual for evenings and special occasions; many come for date nights, brunch and holiday dinners in neat, comfortable attire.

Yes, guests report that staff are accommodating with seating requests (quiet tables, patio preferences), dietary changes and special occasions. Several reviews mention managers and servers personally resolving issues and making adjustments. Call the restaurant ahead of your visit to request seating, dietary accommodations, birthday desserts or other needs.

Yes, many guests bring families and celebrate birthdays with children. While the menu focuses on seafood, steaks and craft cocktails, brunch and casual items (burgers, fish & chips) make it approachable for kids and teens. If you have very young children, consider an early seating or ask for a quieter table when you reserve.

Busiest: weekend evenings, live-music nights (patio), holidays and special event nights (Valentine’s, New Year’s). Quietest: weekday lunches and early weekday dinners, midweek inside when live music is on the patio. If you prefer calmer dining, aim for weekday midday or an early weekday dinner.

Monday nights are a favorite for value-focused diners because of the surf-and-turf special, while weekends (Fri–Sat) are best if you want live music and a lively atmosphere. For a quieter experience with the same menu, aim for weekday lunch or an early weekday dinner.

Yes, guests report dining here for special holiday meals (Valentine’s Day, Easter, Christmas, New Year’s Eve) and the restaurant has run holiday prix-fixe menus. If you plan a holiday visit, reserve ahead as special menus and busy nights can change availability and pacing.

Yes, Post has a popular outdoor patio with fire pits and live music; guests frequently enjoy seating on the lanai/patio and praise the cozy outdoor atmosphere. Outdoor seating can be lively during music nights, so request indoor seating if you prefer quiet.
