So you're having a rough few weeks and you just want, but can't allow yourself to hope for, a dining experience that will offer both the excitement of novelty, and the comfort of the familiar. Friends and countrypeople, we found this at Post Office Place.
Ambience is understated, chic, and easy to take in: Dim lighting and the gentle pop of swanky fixtures and great backlit art. Though a very intimate space, bar service and high tops were readily available, along with few delightful booths that could sit two spaciously, or a cozy three to four.
Service was perfect. Friendly and attentive, but cool and noninvasive.
Any manner of fine beverage could be yours at Post Office Place. We tried their passionfruity spin on a Pisco sour, a fine cab selection, and a most satisfying highball (local joint Bar Nohm is also doing fine things with their highball, FYI). Oh, and a ritzy pour of fine, fine Japanese whiskey, of which they have a generous selection. Boozehounds will purr.
As for grub, the katsu sliders were delicious and will likely please most palates. But where they got super shiny was the beef tartare, the birria dumplings, and the grilled romaine salad. As a tartare aficionado, I thought I'd exhausted all permutations, but damnit Janet, African pumpkin sauce, with Nigerian rice masa cakes, and the most succulent beef, seasoned perfectly? I have been thinking about it all day: What's going on there? I can't wait to try it again. We did not try anything from the raw bar, which was probably a mistake, but we'll be back soon. I'm going to force myself to wait a week so I don't wear it out. But you, friend. You get after it.
