Description

The Post pairs hotel polish with a warm, cozy dining room and Capitol Square views. Staff are consistently praised—attentive, friendly and accommodating—making it ideal for brunch (notably bottomless mimosas), breakfasts, family meals and catered events. Many guests love dishes like miso salmon and classic breakfasts, though food quality and cocktail service are reported as inconsistent by some. With outdoor sidewalk seating, accessibility, private-event capabilities and responsive catering, it’s an underrated, convenient spot for hotel guests, groups and brunch crowds, but drink offerings and bartending can be uneven.

We often dine at this restaurant because the food is outstanding, the service is warm and welcoming, and we are usually seated promptly. Additionally, we've brought our father here multiple times, and since he uses a wheelchair, we value how easy it is to enter and find a comfortable spot for us.

After exploring the farmers market on Saturday, we usually stop here for a mid-morning coffee and a light breakfast. The food is delightful, and the staff is excellent!

This hotel bar tends to be a bit slow, but it has enough staff for its needs. They offer a happy hour, and the bartenders also wait on the dining tables. The food portions are medium to large, catering mostly to adults. The burger comes with a generous patty, although it's not made from scratch. I personally enjoyed the steak sandwich, which features chunks of steak. The chicken nachos are topped with real shredded cheese and guacamole; they’re delicious but can become dry quickly if not consumed right away. The cheese curds are standard, served with a southwest ranch dressing that is just on the mild side. Overall, I would rate it 4 stars. Logically, it might deserve only 2 or 3 stars since there are better options nearby, but considering the type of place it is, they provide a solid experience. I can’t fault them for that.
