    Beet and Goat Cheese Salad
    Amanda S.

    They were busy with graduations but I still had great service at the bar! The salad was delicious. I liked the river area on the way in but it was closed off and not used when I was there.

    Steamed mussels

    Had a good bar sit Wednesday night. Quiet. Haley, I think, was our tender. Nice girl, very attentive. Food was excellent. The steamed mussels were a nice surprise. Love those! Meatloaf and salad meals were excellent. Plenty of drink choices. We haven't been here in ages but will be back!

    Black 'n Bleu burger

    We visited for lunch. The place wasn't crowded and there was plenty of parking. Our server, Jimmy, was excellent: always there with a refill, friendly, cleaned up our plates when we were finished, asked about dessert or coffee after our meals, and brought our checks promptly. Our food was okay. We both had burgers. Nothing bad at all about them: they were prepared as requested, served with a small side of seasoned fries, and were attractively plated. My burger was $18; I feel like a reasonable price would have been $15 or $16 at the most. Although nothing was wrong with our food, there also wasn't anything remarkable about it either. The service provided by Jimmy was the best part of our visit.

    I went for the first time to The Cove and the atmosphere felt so warm and inviting. The staff are very friendly welcoming. The food menu was so appetizing. The brisket sandwich was amazing. I went with a friend, with the plan of just going for the cigar lounge area. My experience so pleasant that I will definitely go back with the wife next time. I'm going to spread the word about this place. The manage/owners are amazing people. Thank you for a wonderful experience. H. Watson

    The ambiance is great. I loved sitting outside by the creek. Somethings to mention are they don't use straws (that could be a good or bad thing depending on who you are) There food was okay. I got the BBQ burger though it's not pictured and the truffle fries. The fries where a little light on the "truffle" and the burger was standard. Overall it's a okay place to eat. I honestly might go their again maybe but it's a big maybe. Try it and see for yourself :)

My wife had the fish and chips. Food was good and plentiful. Service was very good, ate with some old friends, there was no rush, they gave us plenty of space. The menu is varied, specials are not typical fare, but also do not become science projects like so many "creations" do. The food is left to speak for itself. Affordable. Two small criticisms, can be loud in certain areas. They are very accommodating in moving you. The parking lot. Walking over the bridge can be an issue with cars. Worth the trip.

It sounds bold, and it is, but it works beautifully. The broth is rich and deeply savory, the cheese pull is perfect, and the crispy rings add a texture you never knew the classic was missing. The pork chop remains the star of the menu--huge, expertly seasoned, and cooked with precision. It's widely considered the best in the city, and honestly might be the best in the state. Juicy, tender, and full of flavor, it's the kind of entrée you end up recommending to friends for weeks. Their octopus is another standout, prepared with surprising delicacy. Tender, not chewy, with a perfect char that adds just the right amount of smokiness. It's balanced, refined, and one of the most memorable small plates you'll find locally. And don't leave without dessert--the crème brûlée is phenomenal. Silky smooth custard under a flawlessly torched sugar crust that cracks just right. Simple, classic, and executed perfectly. Between the inventive dishes and the warm atmosphere, The First Post remains a must-visit for anyone who loves great food done exceptionally well.

The grounds are really beautiful and would definitely make a good place to host a wedding or other big event. They make their own cider and beer and their menu features a few gluten free options including GF buns and GF pizza crust with other GF options clearly marked. We ordered the brussel sprouts and buffalo wings to share and my grandma and I split a white pizza on cauliflower crust. The brussels were good but nothing life changing - I do think if they cut them in half they'd have turned out more crispy and less mushy. The buffalo wings were slathered in a delicious sauce and very good. The white pizza was just OK. We asked for chicken to be added but they forgot. The crust was thin but not very crispy. I caught a glimpse of their regular pizzas which looked delicious if you are able to tolerate gluten. I also had the Wyn-mosa, their take on a mimosa. It came with their citrus cider mixed in and it was a really nice combination. They even put a candle in our dessert for my grandma, after I secretly requested it. The food is nothing super memorable but it's a good option if you're in the area.

    Another wonderful experience!…read more They now have a big tent covering their whole outdoor patio, so we can sit outside rain or shine, which is wonderful. Hubby and I both enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches and the chocolate/white chocolate mousse for dessert was amazing.

    I have dined here countless times and tried most of their menu…read more Rice dishes - Best dish is curry dish - tastes like panang curry. Ninja charshu pork rice bowl is my second favorite, but too much rice. Chicken katsu rice bowl is dry, needs veggies. The curry chicken katsu bowl is better. Bulgolgi rice bowl is good but not enough beef, lots of veggies. Ramen - my favorites are the black garlic tonkotsu ramen, beef shank ramen, and pork shoyu ramen. The broths for all the ramen isn't the best ever but good for York area. Noodles have good bounce and QQ texture. Toppings are good. Apps - gyoza, edamame, spring rolls, salt and pepper chicken are good. their buns are okay. the soup dumplings were not the best in my opinion. Ambiance - really cool decorations inside. Service - super nice.

We ordered quite a few items including the Ninja Chashu Rice, Spring Rolls, Curry Chicken Rice, and Gyoza Dumplings. I had the Pepper Salted Chicken and the Chicken Shoyu Ramen. The Pepper Salted Chicken was okay. The breading could have been crispier. I don't know how to describe the flavor, but I wasn't a fan. I dipped the chicken in the ramen broth and that helped the flavor a little bit, but it made the breading soggy. I wouldn't order this appetizer again. The Chicken Shoyu ramen was good. I didn't make any modifications to the order (it came with egg, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, scallions, corn, and fried onions). The broth had a nice umami flavor and the pieces of chicken were large. The portion was plentiful and I had enough for leftovers (ramen is always better the next day IMO). There's currently two locations in York which is nice considering that there doesn't seem to be many ramen options. It's not the best ramen that I've ever had, but it was decent.
