Overall: a little disappointed but I would return for cocktails & dessert - Appearance: their outdoor wooden floorboards are loose. The table we were seated at bounced around every time a server or other customer walked by. I learned it grab my cocktail in hand when I saw some one approaching. 6 of their 10 outdoor heaters were broken, tables and chairs looked a worn and disheveled. A revamp before summer would be great. - Food: Cocktails: Aperol Spritz, French 75 were both done well as these are our go to drinks. The bartender had a nice hand of balance and blend. Appetizer: the shrimp cocktail was fresh, chilled & crisp. The cocktail sauce on the other hand needs major attention; a little doctoring to a jarred product can go a long way. Entree: The flatiron steak was perfect, it was the one highlight of the evening for me. I like my meat med-rare to rare side. They paid attention to the request and landed on perfection! Seasoning and peppercorn drizzle was scrumptious. Fish & Chips were meh, not horrible; just blah. They have the crisp factor down and perfected the batter to fish ratio (unlike their neighbors at Rustic House- soggy city). The fish was fresh and fell apart in your mouth but the batter had absolutely no flavor. A seasoning change or splash of beer would change the game, especially with the crisp factor being so nice. Dessert: The Cheesecake: If you are a cheese lover and prefer your cheesecake thick, loaded with cheese flavor and less on the sugar - this will be your jam. Absolutely worth coming back for on its own. The Banana Bread Pudding: my daughter is a banana bread aficionado, so when she saw this one the menu that was it and truth be told the reason why we made the reservation for dinner. The ice cream and toppings helped with the moisture but the bread itself was hard and dry nothing like bread pudding. If it was just banana bread it would have been the worst we ever had. read more

Mediocrity at its finest. Ordered the sliders for Happy Hour. Ok, they looked ok. The plus was that the bread was fresh. The patties were just flavorless, overcooked and one was smaller than the other. Here's the kicker: the fries were still cold inside! That means they took them out of the freezer and cooked them, only failed. How difficult is it to cook fries until they are cooked? The space is nice enough, service was ok, but the food was meh. It's unfortunate since Los Altos has a shortage of good places and they are missing a big opportunity here. Won't be returning. read more

Enjoyed the chicken and waffles for brunch. Chicken was crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Waffles also crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Flavorful sausage gravy with little bits of sausage meat. Nice outdoor seating and good service--the server kept our iced teas refilled and checked on how our food was. read more

This dining outdoor experience happened during Covid pandemic. We went last week after our weekly hiking with family. Menu can be simply downloaded via QR code scan from your phone. We had: - Crispy Chicken Sandwich. So good, so crispy, and very flavorful. Comes either with fries or salad. I chose fries. - The Post Burger. Meat patty was so juicy and tender, husband even devoured it in minutes! Comes with either fries or salad. The House Salad just tasted meh. - Flat Bread Pizza from the kids menu. It was okay if you asked me. nothing really special. Kids still loved it regardless. Overall experience was okay, we got to experience dining out during this sad time. So why three stars if you ask me ? Well, mainly customer service. Our server did an amazing job on us, she checked on us, gave us recommendations on what to order etc. But what's bothering me was she yelled to her coworker when she misdelivered our food to the table next to us. It's not major mistake, but maintaining a professional level in front of customer is important too. In this crazy times like this, we often forget to be kind to each other. Just a few thought of mine to be considered. read more

Good lunch spot for outdoor dining on a nice day. We tried this spot out after hiking in Cupertino the other week because we were looking for a place to do some caloric damage since you know we totally "earned it" on the trail. As for that mission, check we nailed it, here's what we ordered - Chicken nachos - The cheese, chips were good but was hoping for some pico de gallo or cojita cheese additions, kinda plain. - The Post burger - this is a good solid burger, i believe the pickles were sweet pickles if thats your thing. You get a choice of tots, reg fries or sweet potato fries. Service here was also very good, they got the side of starch wrong on our burger order but proceeded to bring out a side of the missing tots without hiccup. Oh yeah while oogling some other tables orders, the brussell sprouts looks amazing, would def get those next time. Also this restaurant was by far the busiest on the street for lunch, always a good sign. read more

Chilly inside on a short sleeve day. I ordered the poke bowl. The tuna was tasty, fresh and ample. However, the avocado and mango were not ripe and therefore hard and tasteless. The service was choppy; some guests were served minutes before others. Coffee was late and not hot. Friendly staff. read more

Convenient place for dinner after dance class in Los Altos. It's usually not that crowded, but hit Opentable for a reservation if you can. Cocktails are fresh and specials change regularly (so much that I can't remember what the special burger I had last weekend was - it was a seasonal that was on the main menu, as opposed to the football-themed special on the specials menu. Always something a little different, in addition to the reliable standards. read more

The Post is the kind of place where you keep coming back because the food is that good and the drinks are delicious. Today we had the chicken and waffles and crispy chicken sandwich. In the past I have enjoyed the Cobb salad and the salmon BLT. The servers are always so wonderful and friendly. They have lots of tables outside. read more

Okay food and Los Altos pricey. Kids Mac and cheese was not the sort of cheese kids appreciate imo. My kid wasn't a fan. Potato gnocchi (recommended by our server over the adult cheese sandwich) was fine, but nothing special. Husband enjoyed his Impossible Burger. The accompanying fries were outstanding. The buffalo cauliflower was the best dish and was pretty good. It's casual and friendly, but pricey for average-ish comfort food. read more

It's a very cute and cozy restaurant. The staff here is so accommodating and friendly. The food itself can be hit or miss. I've had the chicken and waffles a few times now and sometimes it's amazing, crispy and flavorful. other times I've had it and it's cold, soggy and super bland so I'm not sure what's going on with that. The tater tots are always hot and crispy thankfully. It's a decent restaurant and the drinks are pretty good. read more

I came here for a weeknight dinner with a friend. We each got a cocktail --I got the rose sangria which was delicious and my friend got the Italian rose which was a little sweeter than she would have liked but overall good. For our meals, she got the black bean burger and sweet potato fries and I got the crispy chicken sandwich with tater tots. I really enjoyed the tater tots but the chicken quality in my sandwich was not the best. there was a hard yet chewy piece in it that was pretty unappetizing. Our server was not also the kindest/best. When she left, we did have a nicer server help us check out. They also moved our heat lamp over to accommodate another table without asking which really bummed us out because we got cold! read more

Wow, love this place, open all day with informal vibe and seating outside on a typically sunny Los Altos day, and seats inside with a moody sexy spirit. The food is varied and one of those places that will have a dish for everyone no matter how picky, carnivores to vegans. We were looking for a place that was open after typical lunch hours but before dinner, and voila ran into this spot. We got their feta watermelon salad and added grilled salmon with French fries, also couldn't resist their grilled cheese with crispy bacon. Yes, it really was a s good as it sounds, wafer thin bacon shatters on my teeth and oozing gooey cheesiness on grilled bread. The salmon flaky and fresh perfectly cooked. The salad could've used a little more zest and sparkle more sweetness of the melon and more feta, more something to let it dance. But oh well, we are sat the end of summer and melon isn't quite at its best, so no fault of The Post. Our server was attentive and friendly, super sweet, as was the host who seated us. Portions are generous and prices are fair. We'd go back in a heartbeat. read more

A friend had suggested this place - so we gave it a try for lunch recently. We had the gourmet grilled cheese and a bowl of their tomato soup along with a side of crispy Brussels sprouts. The sandwich was meh, but the soup and the sprouts were a bit better. Service was on the slow side, especially considering that the place was not very busy at the time. We won't rush back here. read more

The restaurant offers quite a bit of appetizers options. I like the grilled artichoke. The ahi poke bowl very light and freshly made. Warm chocolate cookies very tasty . read more

Had a good experience picking up our take out order here Sunday evening 5/30/21, just needed to walk to the bar, pick up our bag, and off I went. Fast and efficient! We ordered the bacon chicken carbonara (excellent), fried chicken sandwich (good with a little kick), turkey burger (alright) and another burger (just ok - I can't even remember the name). For the price tag of $100, I would say the food taste was good, worth the value? I would say no. I do have to say, if we were dining at the restaurant, my experience would've been much better. Curbside seating was offered and this place was popping busy. From what I saw picking up my order, the interior was nice, bright and inviting. Employees seem friendly from what I experienced while picking up. read more

My friend wanted to take me out for my birthday so we came to The Post since the yelp reviews showed promise and it was close by to my friend's apartment. Happy to say we made the right decision and had the most pleasant experience here! We came for a late lunch at around 3pm and were seated promptly outside. The place had a nice ambience and was very clean. The servers were very patient and attentive to our questions and took our order after giving us some time. I opted for the Nashville hot chicken sliders with sweet potato fries and my friend got the turkey burger with the side salad. We also got the ahi tuna tower appetizer to share. The ahi tuna tower had mangos and avocado pieces and came with wonton chips to eat with. The tuna was well seasoned and the mango surprisingly paired well with the tuna and avocado combo! We were really happy that we chose this appetizer because it was pretty refreshing and wasn't too heavy with the sauce. You could also tell that the raw fish was very fresh! I tried some of the turkey burger my friend had and the patty was surprisingly juicy and well seasoned. I usually dislike turkey because of its dryness when it is cooked for too long, so this was a bit of a shock for me, eating a turkey burger that I may even want to order for myself in the future. Last to be reviewed are the hot chicken sliders. I honestly had low expectations for the spice level on these, especially because I have a very high spice tolerance, but to my surprise the sliders were SPICY! It had a nice kick to them; after eating two of them the heat started getting to me. The coleslaw cabbage mixture that was in the sliders complimented the chicken in the best way possible. I definitely want to get them again! They kind of remind me of Howlin' Ray's chicken sandwich but a little less intense in spice and better presentation. The fries were well cooked and seasoned! Nothing to complain about them! I would love to come again soon and try other things on the menu! They have many options to choose from so I am curious to see if the other items are as good as the dishes we tried! read more

What a sweet little spot in downtown Los Altos! First off, the staff was super nice in saving me a booth for me and my friend. We got there at 5:30 PM and indulged in a couple cocktail specials for Happy Hour. Hilarious that their HH ends at exactly 7:03 PM! On a Friday, it was bustling with lots of folks in the bar area and dining area. There were only a few options on the HH menu for food, so we decided to choose a few small plates and go from there. The shishito peppers, buffalo cauliflower, and TOTCHOS! So these are not small plates at all...ginormous! The shishito peppers were good with a really nice soy dipping sauce. The buffalo cauliflower were heavily breaded or could've used a longer time in the fryer, and with more buffalo sauce. The totchos were amazing...how can you go wrong with tater tots, cheese, ranch, and bacon?! Although we were full, the spaghetti bolognese was calling us. We ordered one, and surprised with 2 split dishes! So very thoughtful, and without an extra charge! Then, for my friend's bday our waitress brought out a complimentary bread pudding! It was pretty good! I wish I caught our waitress' name but she was so sweet and attentive. I would say maybe the staff here are too attentive, though not a negative! They seemed to want to clear our table so wasn't sure if they needed the space? Overall, a really great addition to downtown Los Altos, will recommend and be back again! read more

We came on a Saturday for lunch. The outdoor seating was 2/3 full but the service was painfully slow. I asked to taste a wine but they brought a full glass. Ordered tater tots with the sandwich but received french fries. The sandwich was very mediocre. The fries were not even as good as fast food. The tomato soup was actually disgusting. It did not taste like tomatoes at all. It was sour basil soup. Maybe other items are better but everything we had was disappointing. read more

It's been a couple of years since my last review but the food and atmosphere remains great. Now that football is staring you can catch your favorite team on the bar TV and grab a great burger or steak. I still enjoy their cute bar and the fabulous drinks (watermelon margarita was amazing) The parklet also got redone and has a charming atmosphere. I will always order the mac and cheese! its a favorite. Not to mention the ahi tuna tower or chicke tinga nachos. They also have great fish salmon and red snapper. read more

A "non white" friend sent to me the review that was posted Sunday night, the night of the LA Light Parade. I left Yelp a long time ago because people seem to only use it to complain about or to destroy businesses. I found this review to be so wrong and so disgusting that I signed back up for the app. We have an entirely different experience. We've known Vicky for years. My "non white" daughter worked with Vicky. Her ""non white" friends worked with and/or for Vicky. VICKY IS NOT RACIST. It appears that person making that accusation may be the one whom is promulgating racism. I was in the food industry for 36 years and as soon as I started reading that review, I knew exactly where this was going. What kind of person goes into a restaurant on a crazy busy night, makes demands and when the business tries to meet the demands of that customer, and it's not what he/she deems to be satisfactory, decides to pull the race card and add on top of that a threat to go to the city council to complain about a restaurant "manager?" Seriously? That's not how you handle a complaint. Anybody reading that complaint can easily tell the agenda. Do you know what most people do when they don't like a restaurant? They post an opinion of the food or the service, THEY DON'T GO THERE again, and they don't recommend it to their friends. They think Vicky is the manager, and think going to the Los Altos City council is a correct way to what? Out her publicly as a racist? What are they hoping to gain by that? If they have a legitimate complaint about the food or the service that's one thing. In this case, it seems to us they are walking around with an entitled victim mentality. What do they expect the City Council to do? Put Vicky over their knee to give her a spanking telling her naughty naughty you "elderly" hater of non white people. My friend's and I are thinking maybe we should go to a city council meeting and let them see the brown people who have known or worked with Vicky for years. People, Google the owner. She's hardly "elderly." Such a juvenile dig.That dishonesty alone gives people a better understanding of the rest of the review. Disingenuous reviews like this are what drive people away from Yelp. Lighten up and stop with the negativity, you'll be happier in the long run. The solution is simple. If you don't like a business, take your money and go elsewhere. A business is not under any obligation to serve you and your spurious claims combined with your entitled victim mentality will get you nowhere in life. Take your hard-earned money and find somewhere else you may like better. Lucky for us in Silicon Valley there are plenty of good choices out there. Be happy, not spiteful. read more

Came here for an afternoon drink on a sunny day! Outdoor seating is perfect to enjoy the sun. Happy hour drinks are a fantastic deal. I got a glass of Prosecco and sat out and people watched.

Recently went here for a brunch with a friend. It was a bad experience all around. The service was pretty bad, we had to ask multiple times for everything we needed. I asked for water twice and it never showed up! Sadly, food was equally bad. It was all cold and somewhat burnt. I had heard good things about this place but unbelievably, it was very disappointing! read more

Loved the place! It's located in the Los Altos downtown. We made a reservation on a Friday evening so we didn't have to wait. I was impressed with the menu as they had a good number of vegeterian options available. Black bean empanada - 5/5 (loved this appetiser) Buffalo cauliflower - 3/5 Vegeterian black bean burger - 4/5 Drinks - Blood orange negroni - 4/5 (could be a tad bit less sweet) Marque de murrieta reserva tempranillo and rioja wine - 5/5 read more

Sigh. My SO and I went to the Post for the entire duration of the pandemic, and it was a great, and occasionally amazing place for brunch. We went back today and the menu had been gutted. I would say most of the things I loved about it are gone. The cocktails are still there, but at minimum, I noticed there was no more: * Tomato soup * Croissant sandwich * Waffles * Tots (So good, as opposed to the now-generic string fries). * Basically everything brunch-related, and so many other dishes. I mean *so many*. I used to see people there for parties for boozy mimosa brunches; it gave the place a fun, chill vibe and I guess all that's gone now. I'm not even sure what the thesis of the restaurant is any more. It used to be a sports bar, that became this place that had sports on TV, but lots of fun stuff to eat with friends and something you could completely ignore as you ate outside at cozy tables. Now? A very minimal menu and expensive cocktails. I mean it is Silicon Valley so maybe there is space for a sports bar with $15 cocktails and not a lot of pub food, but I dunno. I will say that the little banners on the menu announcing that this is the *brand new menu* for the *5 year anniversary* feel pretty dishonest. I mean, it is the anniversary, but should you really be bragging about this menu? At least when little hidden gems like the House on First Closed, you knew it was because it wasn't sustainable. This place just feels like a shell of itself. Change it back, close it, or try something actually new; just don't let it end like this. read more

Good ambiance, ok service but really average food. We have only tried it once but the food didn't have much flavor, it's on the bland side. This restaurant is on the pricey side for what it serves. We tried: Tempura fried California- I would rate it 4/10 as it was bland, totally below average. It came with ranch, buffalo sauce and blue cheese sauce. Black bean empanadas- I would give it 5/10. It was ok but I did not like it much. Maybe it was bad oil but had some weird taste. Chicken piccata- husband rated it 6/10. He said it was good but nothing special. read more

This was my second visit in 2 weeks to this amazing restaurant. It's a very busy place but staff is friendly and accommodating, following all covid protocols. We tried their brunch - Waffle and berries- just wow, one can never go wrong with waffles. Avocado toast- very refreshing. Only suggestion for this dish is to add more seasoning. For kids we ordered- chicken tenders with fries and they both loved it. Tried their chicken tacos which were amazing too. So all in all great meal, and will definitely come back. read more

I've been eyeing this place for awhile now but never actually dined there. We decided to try The Post after reading the reviews on yelp. I ordered the Ketel white peach lemonade, shared grilled peach salad (a must!!), then I went with chicken carbonara and the gumbo for my hubby. My hubby couldn't stop eating my pasta. It was so flavorful and sooooo good. The gumbo was ok and he enjoyed it but not as much as my pasta dish. read more

Mmm they can wait to welcome you back. Just swung by to try and put our names down (at 1 on a Thursday) and the waitress ran up and said they weren't seating right now, so we said we'd come back. We took a 20 minute walk and came back and after standing there for a while, another waitress then condescendingly offered to add us to the waitlist. I understand staffing issues and have no problem waiting, however have a huge issue with being talked to like a burden. Yes I'm young but no I don't take BS and being talked down to. No thanks. The patio looked nice and the food looked good though! ‍ read more

T this was my first time here. A friend said it was great--she'd been there before. I thought it would by dressy casual, but when we walked in, it had the atmosphere of a sports bar and their bar is huge. There are mixed reviews on yelp. It seems they're more into the alcohol menu. Our food was ok. Actually, I ordered salmon on cheesy polenta. It was a special. The fish was good, but not too spicy because I'd ordered it. It blackened. The polenta was bland. There was no seasoning at all. I had to salt and pepper it. The mango salsa was very good on the fish. So, meh. My friend ordered chicken and waffles. He loved it. Our waitress was a doll and quite helpful. The service is quick and clean up fast cuz they turnover right away. It was first Friday downtown and there was a band outside the place. When the doors were closed you couldn't hear the band, but the restaurant had music on that was blaring. If you need to talk, go elsewhere. So I think the reviews are correct, this is a hit and miss food place. read more
