**Dining Experience at Postmark: A Mixed Bag of Impressions**
Postmark offers an enticing blend of ambiance and quality service but proves inconsistent in its culinary offerings. While some patrons appreciated the elegant atmosphere, tasting menu, and several dishes like scallops and duck, many expressed disappointment over portion sizes, food temperature, and overall value for money. Dishes such as the tough Coulotte steak and lacking chocolate mousse left diners wanting more. Although the restaurant shines in presentation and service, the price point paired with sporadic food quality has left a lingering question mark for some guests, prompting a mix of affection and critique for this sophisticated establishment.

This is an excellent choice for a business meal. The noise level was manageable, and both the service and the food were outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.
All three of us thoroughly enjoyed the tasting menu. The scallop was perfectly seared on the outside and delightful on the inside. My son found the beef to be exceptionally flavorful. My husband had the duck, which was cooked to perfection and quite tender. However, it would have benefited from a more robust sauce to accompany it—perhaps a dark cherry sauce would do the trick?
The price was outrageous for the amount and quality of food received. They make all parties at the table do the tasting menu, even if only one person wants to and so this forces you into spending much more money than anticipated. Additionally, the quality of at least 2 of the courses was marginal at best. For a $200 meal (only 2 drinks total), I would have expected to walk out much fuller and to appreciate every bite of food. The service was wonderful however.
This place is super fine dining. Portions were perfect size, unusual and excellently prepared. Very nice decor and wine room. Perfect crowd for a Wednesday night for us. The service was good and attentive but a bit labored. Parking can be a challenge, but they do offer valet parking for $7 which gives you options. We will be back tell our friends about this Clifton gem.
It's really expensive, and the expectation that the table would order the 4 course menu $75 per person not including wine) wasn't clear. Our table wanted less, and one of our party is gluten free so that wouldn't have been a option anyway. The appetizer/small plates were very small. Two of them did not make for a dinner. Our waiter was a bit snotty, and didn't get our order right anyway. The duck breast was cold and had to be sent back. Really it was a disappointment.

We really enjoyed the food pairings and would have appreciated having a small note or some form of reference to what we were drinking at the time, to better enhance our experience with the food.
Welcome with friends
You've quickly become one of my new favorite spots in town. I first discovered your Lobster bisque back in February, and I've already made a note to return in 2020 to enjoy it again. I really appreciate your rotating menu, the elegant white tablecloths, the small plates presentation, and the influence of French cuisine. We definitely plan to come back!
Entrée selection too limited. High price for starters of size of portions.
This was the first we were disappointed after eating at Postmark. The drinks and service were good. However, the food was not. The bread box was simple baguette not the variety basket we have received in past visits. Coulotte Steak was very tough and served cold. Chocolate mousse dessert was also disappointing because the granola bar pieces were really hard and it tasted more like whipped cream than chocolate mousse.
