I tried The Post and it was pretty good. We got brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese balls for appetizers and both were good and the mac and cheese balls were plated very pretty. I would definitely re order the brussel sprouts. The spicy margarita was really good too. I got the pesto pasta for the main course but I didn't really like it and couldn't taste the pesto either. I like the ambiance inside the restaurant. The service was okay but could've been better. I came here on a Friday night and it says it's open late but the kitchen closes super early so we were very rushed both to order and finish our food and drinks.

Weekend brunch spot! Really easy to make reservations online and with enough patience you'll find a parking spot. This corner restaurant is a hidden gem, for brunch specifically. They have Veuve champagne specials and bottomless mimosas in many flavors. We shared a few items and had a wonderful Sunday afternoon. The server we had was so incredibly patient and sweet! The service is quick and efficient as well. They were on top of refilling our bottomless mimosas! Drink responsibility and have a wonderful time at this local joint!

Came here on Valentine's Day for sort of a last minute dinner after we decided to go out to eat. We were able to get a reservation pretty last minute so that was appreciated. The restaurant itself was nice, though it was really drafty so we were both pretty cold. Our food was really good, we shared Brussels sprouts and I had one of the February specials - a chicken pesto panini - and my boyfriend has the crispy chicken sandwich. Both were cooked really well and had a nice mix of flavors. Our service was just okay, and I know it was Valentine's Day, but it took awhile for our server to come over when the section that we were seated in was fairly empty. I'd eat here again though, the food was good and not too expensive.

I cannot say enough about the Service here. The host Dom and our server Zach are the type of young professional men you want for your business. The food was also delicious as we chose the bunch menu. We will definitely come back because of how wonderful everyone was.

We tried The Post, on a Wednesday night and it was nice, busy and laid back kind of vibe. Our server got our beverages right away and took our orders. My wife had the Tri Tip dip and I had the fish and chips. She did up grade to the tator tots. The Tri Tip tasted okay but was so tough to chew she gave up eating it not even half way through, thank goodness she got tator tots to fill the gap. My fish was really good but my fries weren't hot, again thank goodness for tator tots. The owner/manager came over and apologized which we appreciated and took it off our bill. Remember to tip on the original amount.

The Post is a nice spot in downtown Los Altos that combines good food and wonderful nightlife into a one-stop experience. The food is very good. The staff is amazing. The menu is diverse. This spot is best visited with friends, coworkers or family. It's a place to share in an almost festive restaurant environment. The outdoor seating is well-lit and heated -- which is great for our local Bay Area weather year-round. The salmon carbonara is incredible too! Overall, this is a nice spot that can is casual and "fancy" at the same time. It's actually a great value for the price (and area) too. There are plenty of plates below $30 -- but with a quality that would easily exceed that elsewhere. Parking is available in front of the restaurant as well in adjacent public lots.

Cute place for a birthday lunch! I met a friend and loved the decor inside and had outdoor dining. Comfort food with tons of options of Chicken and Waffles, Burgers, Fries, etc. I ordered the Bacon and Ham Quiche with a side salad. It was so good with buttery crust with tons of veggies and ham on a pomodoro sauce. My friend got the Croque Monsieur with a fried egg on top with melted cheese and savory ham. I loved the presentation of the food. Our waiter did a great job of answering our questions and bringing out our food quickly. We enjoyed a piece of flan and fruit for my birthday! Prices were average and tons of parking behind the restaurant. I want to go back and try out a cocktail!

BINGO Sunday at the Post is my new favorite thing! Usually, I hate to leak a great secret, but in this case, the more, the merrier!! It's a blast with friends for a girls' night out, a fun solo outing to meet new people, and my kids love it too! I appreciate that it's not super loud and the games are usually run on the hour (I think) so it makes it an entertaining, low-key activity that isn't too invasive if you just want to have dinner and not participate. There is always something new and seasonal on the menu. My current favs are the Dunken Shrimp (although I would literally dip that heavenly garlic bread in motor oil and probably still enjoy it) and the new tri-tip sandwich is fabulous! They start BINGO at 5 so you can still catch an hour of the happy hour menu which is a huge bonus. There are usually interesting wines and rotating cocktails on the happy hour menu, so even "regulars" aren't bored. I'm hoping to spread the word so the fun continues; the bigger the crowd, the more fun it is! Cheers!

I was here for a company holiday lunch! My second year of enjoying eating out with the whole office staff. It was all of our first time eating here. I will say I wish I took better pictures of the food and the restaurant. I didn't have good lighting and rushed to take pics before we demolished the food LOL. So I only have pictures of the menu. Location is convenient because it was only a few minutes away from the workplace and at the start of Main Street. Parking can be a hit or miss, the parking lots and street parking can get filled pretty quickly. The restaurant alone is beautiful, and you can tell they put in a lot of work to decorate for Christmas and the month of December. There is a centered bar top and flat screen tvs throughout, so I can imagine it gets lively here for sports game days. Our group was seated towards the back, looked like a community table which worked out fine. They offer a seasonal lunch menu, drinks/cocktails menu, and a happy hour menu. Note: The (v) on the menu is for vegetarian not vegan. I wish I knew beforehand, because the appetizers made my stomach bubbly later on due to my lactose intolerance. If we didn't have work right after, I would definitely have tried a cocktail or a nice wine. I enjoyed the appetizers the most! **Appetizers** - Black Bean Empanadas (vegetarian) 5/5 - Buffalo Cauliflower (vegetarian) 5/5 - Crispy Brussel Sprouts 5/5 **Main** - Salmon BLT w/out Bacon (I don't eat red meat or pork) 4/5 -- the sweet potato fries could've been a little more crispy. Also, there was one bad fry in the batch, it had an unpleasant taste. The salmon could've had a bit more seasoning. **Dessert/Drink** - Mexican Chocolate Coconut Cream Gelato 4/5 --it was partially melted and partially icy. The taste was good though! - BlackBerry Lemonade 5/5 I would like to come back for brunch and dine-in on my own. I'd love to try their Creme brûlée French toast or waffles.
