Overrated and expensive. Tried for months to get reservation and finally got one. Four of us dined there and it was okay. Nothing spectacular. Yes, it is the old post office but you wouldn't realize it once you got past the entrance. Looked like any other restaurant in the dining area. Food was okay but not memorable. Now that I have checked the box of going there, I really don't need to go back. I can get better food elsewhere for a better price read more

Attended an annual luncheon with a group of colleagues. They set us up in the upstairs area which was perfect. The food was delicious. The service was very attentive. The building was historic and interesting. Will go back next time I'm in Georgetown. read more

The Restaurant: I love buildings that used to be other buildings. The repurposing, reimagining and recycling; while still keeping remnants of what used to be, is kinda beautiful to me. City Post Chophouse's story began in the 1930s when it used to be an actual Post Office during the Depression and Prohibition era. What I love is that the restaurant, in 2022, has kept the same feel of the old building and even some of its trinkets (check out the locker keys on the wall). And now to my visit. The Dress code/ service/ Vibes I was in Austin visiting my best friend in celebration of our 21st year of friendship. When she extended the invite to CPCH, I was a little nervous that I wouldn't have a nice enough outfit to wear to a fine dining experience. However, when I checked their website, I saw that the dress code is, "Texas Formal," meaning that, what I brought with me--a nice (collared) shirt and jeans--was appropriate. Once inside the restaurant, we were greeted warmly. We were a bit early for our reservation but we were seated after only a five min or so wait. While we waited, my friend spotted her server from the last time she visited, Alex. She came over and chatted with us, gave us some recommendations and told us the Chef special for the night. She was so nice and knowledgeable, I could tell she was a great server and my friend confirmed it. Once seated we were introduced to our server, JP. After meeting both Alex and JP, I GOT IT. You can tell a lot about an establishment by the staff they hire. These people are specifically hired and trained to not only provide top notch service but, more importantly some might say, to promote and foster the "vibe" of the place. The vibe I got was friendly, knowledgeable, but low-key and not hovering; laid back, relaxed and an upscale attitude without being bougie and stuffy. Those words not only describe our excellent server JP but also CPCH itself to a tee! Food: CPCH prides itself on its oysters and steaks. I don't eat red meat but those Oysters were out of this world. We ordered two oyster platters and devoured them. Pro tip: I'm a oyster purist and usually just use lemon; but, trust me, use the sauces they bring you with the platter. They took the oysters to a whole new level. For my main course, I ordered the lobster roll. Why? Because I cannot resist lobster. I love it so much. The lobster roll was everything you want in a lobster roll. It was piled high with juicy, buttery lobster, the bread was crisp, yet soft and there was extra butter to dip the roll into. I cried tears of joy and thanked the lobster gods after eating it. Since I was already on a roll, a lobster roll, LOL, I followed up with an order of the butter poached lobster lobster (yum) and the lobster Mac n cheese--also delicious creamy and full of lobster. My friend ordered the sea bass over Brussel sprouts and she said it was delicious. She can't resist ordering fish at any restaurant we visit so that's a high compliment coming from her. For dessert, I ordered a slice of lemon cake. Fantastic! I'm not even a 'lemon dessert' type of person, but that cake was moist and delicious. To accompany our meal, JP recommended a delicious red blend called the Arsonist. I'm usually not a "blend" person, (I prefer a Cab or Merlot) but, JP described it so beautifully that we trusted his opinion. So glad we did! This blend tasted like a rich, warm, full bodied Cabernet only better. We left the restaurant satisfied and feeling nice. City Post, thank you for taking care of us. I can't wait to visit again. read more

The food was bland at best. Small menu. No salt or anything on the tables to help with the bland food and my sea bass was undercooked in the middle. Lots of other really good food options elsewhere. Just because you charge a higher price, does not mean the food is better...or even good. read more

I would put City Post as the number 1 restaurant in all of Williamson County. Whether it's brunch, lunch, or dinner this place crushes it! Atmosphere, service and food is fantastic! read more

I really don't get this place. City Post is probably most notable for being housed in a former US Post Office; it's kind of interesting if you think about it. The odd thing is although the building looks imposing from the outside the dining room is actually quite small and really crowded. It takes what could have been an elegant setting and turns it into a pedestrian one. Things other than food: Parking is pretty easy (and free) on the streets in Georgetown, and most of the people working at the restaurant are friendly and professional. There is a baby grand in the dining room and a piano player. Not really my cup of tea, but certainly better than a lot of indecipherable canned crap some restaurants play over a speaker system. There is a dress code, so if you're looking for something just a little bit nicer to take your partner, consider City Post. For dinner, they are open only three days a week and for a good evening reservation you will wait at least two weeks and maybe three. Its not that they're that good (three stars, see?) its just they're not open often. Not sure about their lunch openings. Our server was not super or friendly. In fact, he was so efficient it was sort of like going to P. Terry's - whaddya want? pull up! I did not care for his attitude or lack of attention at all. He did not help things when my partner asked about the speciality (she was trying to say special of the night) and he interpreted it as 'what are you known for.' He then indignantly said, "we're known for our steaks - we're a chophouse!" Wrong answer Scooter - and you just cut your tip in half being snotty to my girl. Thankfully the expediter who served our food was very nice, as was the hostess and another server we spoke with but our guy was not fun. The food: The onion soup was very good - probably a B+, but Fleming's is actually better. The City Post salad with greens, feta, pear & pistachio was really quite good. My partner's Post Poppy cocktail was not quite on the mark, and her after dinner Old (Post) Fashioned was muddy and awful. I lucked out with a very nice Zinfandel - Terra D'Oro - and thankfully (although purists would complain) City Post fills the nice-sized wine glass up very nicely, so you definitely get your money's worth. Moral? Maybe skip the cocktails and stick with wine & beer? My partner's Lobster Roll [she was unimpressed with the waiter's proclamation re "chop house") was actually quite good. My boneless rib eye was acceptable however but no more than that. It was rare because they placed it high on the Santa Fe style grill so as not to overcook it, but it also ensured the outside of the steak was more like steamed than grilled. Honestly you can get a better steak at Lone Star for half the price. The side of mashed potatoes? Let me just say lukewarm, lumpy, devoid of taste or seasoning. Other than that? Pretty good. Whole tab with tip just under $200. That's more than double what it was worth folks. We won't be back - the food was not enough to make us want to try it again, and the weird small space plus one incredibly bad server and unreasonable pricing makes us not want to bother with City Post again. They do have some upsides and maybe you'll have a better server, so I would try them once; just go with tempered expectations. read more

Nothing less than five stars after our enjoyable lunch. This is a fairly new addition to the Georgetown scene and a very sophisticated operation it is. The location is in the old central post office in Georgetown just off the square. they have retained just enough of the decor to indicate the building's history but everything else is dedicated to customer comfort. I am a former owner / operator of a white tablecloth restaurant in Massachusetts and I can attest that they have their act together here. Service is impeccible and there is a floor manager visible, not sitting at his desk. Our server, Luke and his trainee with her disarming smile treated us very well. We have learned that in Texas, a diner sometimes needs to manage the ordering process in order to not have three courses on the table at once but that probably wasn't neccessary here. We did have three courses and they were served one at a time. There is a good drink menu and an extensive wine list. We were there during the lunch period and could not pass on the New England Lobster roll and we were not disappointed. We really can't wait to go back to sample other offerings. There is a mild dress code, so gents, leave the baseball caps in the car and your wife beater T shirt at home. It's still Texas casual. read more

Great food and great service. The interior is incredibly well done and feels like we walked into the past. Highly recommended

We ordered the shrimp cocktail and some drinks to start dinner. Unfortunately, the shrimp cocktail showed up with a dead fly on one of the shrimps. When notified, the manager made excuses about how warm the room was where we were seated and asked if we wanted a different appetizer. Wrong answer. The food was plated and served that way, it was not simply a matter of a fly landing on our food. It was gross and convinced us staying was not an option. We left and while we appreciated them comping the drinks after we announced we were leaving, it's hard to accept the almost off handed way the manager shrugged off a dead fly on our food. read more

Excellent food. But shocking uncouth. Maybe look that up as an example of class. Do you want business or do you not? As a person who frequently spends a lot of money at YOUR establishments I think you can overlook the fact that I forgot the proper shoes while coming to spend money at your place!!! My husband had on a suit coat as well as I had on a LV jacket! Read the room. read more

This place is a gem! Everything from the quality of food, effort in presentation to the amicable waiting staff, this is our go to restaurant. Even so that we decided to have a large event here soon! Bravo to management and staff!! read more

Food was good, but for the price I expected something more. The service was not very good but overall we had a decent experience. Not exactly sure why this place is semi-formal. In Austin area it should be casual, also we're in g-town. Atmosphere is good. Will come again. read more

Everything from the ambiance to the food to the amazing sheet cake. This place is a 10/10 to me and the service was phenomenal!

I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. If I had a once in a life time 6 star review to give on Yelp it would be here. Downtown Georgetown is beautiful and this is the crown jewel. This is both an architectural and culinary accomplishment that is worth the experience. Hand crafted cocktails (I watched); chef dedication to the execution of locally sourced foods (and partnering with local bakery/pastry savants) could leave even the most avant-garde traveler wanting for nothing. Service - 10 Ambiance - 10 Food - 10+ Some kind of weird Texas hospitality where everybody seems happy you're there and want to go the extra mile to make you happy- an unexpected 10. Great job guys! read more

All aspects of our experience ( dinner for two on a Friday evening ) were on point. Thank you chef Adrian read more

I had heard this place was exceptional. That description didn't come close to being able to describe how truly unique and incredible the actual experience unfolded. CPC is the crème de la crème of fine dining in Georgetown. From the beautiful stylish decor, to the attentive service oriented staff and most importantly just an outstanding menu. The food was impeccable! One of the best 5 star restaurant experiences I've ever enjoyed. 20/10 very highly recommend. Thank you CPC for a wonderful Christmas dining event! read more

This was the second time we have been to the City Post Chophouse and will keep coming back. The service was terrific, our waiter, Luke, was very attentive. All the food came out at the correct temperature and and seasoned perfectly. Steve S read more

The steak is delicious and pork chop was more than a meal. Make reservations as they are busy, but if you don't the bar area has plenty of seating. read more

Let me cut to the chase: BEST LOBSTER ROLL EVER. Served by kind staff who have very warm smiles. All of this is inside (and this is my favorite part) the old Georgetown Post Office just off the square! So the staff are great. The food is amazing even with their limited menu right now before the full open. (Not kidding about the lobster roll. The bread alone will have you asking where they source it.) Can't wait to see what else Chef Adrian has up his sleeve for us! And the location: Can I just say how special it is to see historic buildings repurposed but with full respect for their original architecture and details? The freakin PO Boxes are still intact! So are the original iron detailing and tile entry. The bathrooms are modern with an Art Deco twist. I haven't even mentioned the marble. And then there are the craft cocktails. I recommend the Post Poppy and Old Post Fashioned...or try their wine. read more

Delicious food , good service. Their AC is only working at 65% capacity and it's blazing hot inside. They should have told us when we called and made the reservation. It was irresponsible and frankly deceptive, as they told us when we arrived that it had been this way for days. We were hot and the staff was sweating bullets. read more

Impeccable service. Great presentation from beginning to the end. Lobster was done perfectly, sometimes a tricky thing. Steak was great and be sure to have the oysters! Great waiter and because of him, we'll be back! Thank you. read more

Invited to a financial seminar at City Post in their upstairs dining room and thought it would be a great way to also try the restaurant for the first time. The salmon was plain and bland, the chicken cutlet was terribly dry and the chunk of beef I was served was overcooked and well done. Before the seminar, we ordered a glass of wine (made a purchase) and asked if we could take a peek at the dining room, since it was our first time there. We were told we were not allowed to because it was a private dining room. What?! Needless to say, we will not be back. City Post, I'm not sure your highfalutin style will be appreciated in Georgetown for the long haul. read more

Delicious! The best steak restaurant in Georgetown. It is a more fine dining experience. You can go there for brunch launch and dinner. They have an excellent selection for brunch. We will go here every Sunday after church. The servers treat you like royalty. Our favorite server is Heidi. Very nice lady. As you can tell the service here is amazing. The restaurant is clean and cozy. Comfortable seats. I love the French fries! I know it's a steakhouse but the fries are amazing! read more

The service was amazing, and the waitress was engaging. I couldn't decide on a drink so I asked her to get me what ever her favorite drink was. IT WAS AMAZING!! I got the Salmon and my boyfriend for the Sea Bass. Both were super moist and flaky. The bread is warm, crispy on the outside and soft in the center. I want to go on but clearly this restaurant is wonderful. We can't wait to go back! The Pianist played all songs that we knew, she played beautifully and it really made for such a beautiful night! read more

Pros: beautiful building, friendly staff at the entrance, good service Cons: overpriced food, weird chimichurri, underseasoned vegetables We made a late lunch reservation on a Saturday. The Square was busy, so parking was a bit difficult to find near the restaurant but not impossible. We were greeted warmly by several young ladies and shown to our table. Our waiter (Luke) was nice and fairly attentive. We weren't in a rush, so we ordered one course at a time. The tuna poke ($20) was delicious, and the extra slices of Serrano and ginger allowed us to try it with different heat/flavor profiles. The four onion soup ($9) was flavorful, but it wasn't the best we've had. For the main course we ordered the lobster roll ($25) and the coulotte & chimichurri ($28). The lobster roll was supposed to come with chips or fries, and the steak with fries. Luke said we could substitute sides, so we chose to swap out the fries for Brussels sprouts and asparagus. The lobster roll arrived first, and it was small but looked good. The steak arrived, and it was supposed to be medium rare. It was partially undercooked, and the chimichurri was a weird lump on top of the steak. We chose not to send the steak back, as we didn't want it to come back overcooked. The chimichurri was very bitter and strange - it looked more like a scoop of very herby butter, but it never melted or softened. It worked better with the steak, but it's definitely not a traditional chimichurri and we wouldn't order it again. The lobster roll was tasty but small. As for the sides, we were so glad we didn't order them as extra dishes! The Brussels sprouts and the asparagus were both without seasoning other than a dash of salt. Neither were anything special - nothing was added to elevate them or make them worth the $12 City Post charges for them as a side dish. We both regretted not sticking with the fries or chips. For dessert we ordered the apple pie al a mode ($15), and it was the highlight of the meal! We also ordered three drinks during our lunch - a beer ($9), the First Class cocktail ($13), and a glass of Prosecco ($9). City Post has a lot of potential, but we weren't overly impressed by the food. Most people we know who have dined there have had similar feedback. We might give it another shot in the future to try other items or see if they make adjustments. read more

Nice wine list! Lovely service. Very unique atmosphere, like the story on the wall, excellent beef stew, oysters wow fresh! Can't go wrong with steak. Much more items need to try. read more

Really great spot right off the Georgetown square. We came for our anniversary lunch and Nick took excellent care of us. He really helped elevate the experience with his friendly approach and enthusiasm for the food. The oysters are SPECTACULAR and we loved the picanha. We will be back soon! read more

Today I, and two of my friends, had lunch at Georgetown's City Post Chophouse. What can I say, about the experience, other than it was the kind of eating experience that lingers in your mind, that you spontaneously want to tell others about, and that ensures you will be back. The food: We started with east coast oysters on the halfshell, the origins of which were explained nicely by our waiter. The oysters came on a bed of ice with four different sauces, each of which the chef explained in detail. The sauces paired beautifully. For the main course we ordered two lobster roll entres, and a steak entre. The lobster roll was delicious with whole pieces of lobster on a nicely toasted bread base. The portion was just right. We shared a little at the table, so I also tasted the steak - at my next visit, I'm getting the steak. It was sort of like cotton candy in your mouth - not really but you get the idea, very tasty, very tender and very well presented. The service: The wait staff was what I would call exceptional, their collective attention to detail was frankly unique. Example: my cloth napkin had unbeknownst to me falled on the floor, and before I was even aware, our waiter had a new one beside my plate and had picked up the one I dropped. That has never ever happened to me before. Finally: We had the great priviliege of meeting Chef Adrian and his wife (she showed us the top floor), both were delightful, warm and personable. They both felt like genuine down to earth people, working hard to build a good business, good relationships and a reputation in our town. We appreciate them both. Don Miller Georgetown, Texas Oh, and when you visit City Post Chophouse, ask if you can see the top floor event area where you can book larger groups with no venue fee. The top floor is impressive and my daughter and her husband are hoping to hold an event there soon. read more

This place is ran like a circus. I called and made a reservation over a week in advance and the proceeded to tell me where my table was located in the restaurant to a T. I had 4 buddies coming into town and we were all excited to eat at city post. We get there and the staff is extremely rude about telling us that they have no reservation for me and they can't sit us until nearly 10pm. I asked to speak with the manager and i was told they couldn't see me because the manager was too busy. I demanded to speak with them and they finally came and were extremely rude and told me they wouldn't do anything to accommodate us. We left and went to the golden rule which is a well run establishment with much better food that isn't overpriced. Be wary of this place and i hope you have a better experience than we did! read more

Adrian, We didn't complain about the food being tough and unseasoned because some of the people we were with were embarrassed to share this with your waitstaff. In case you're unaware, many customers don't complain because they don't want to cause a fuss. They simply pay and never go back. You should check your seasonings and recipes instead of being concerned that nothing was mentioned to your server. You're implying what we are saying isn't factual just because we didn't inform your staff. read more

The food was outstanding -- just as good as anything you'd find in a top-rated steakhouse in NYC or Chicago -- and the service was impeccable. Thank you Nathan H. (our server) for helping to make it such a great night. We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is fabulous but shockingly spendy. Easily the most expensive restaurant in Georgetown by a landslide. Had the pork chop and it was very good. Sides feed up to 3 people. Everyone in my party of 4's meal was cooked to perfection and customer service was excellent as it should be for the price. read more

We have only been once but the first experience was a great one. I had the lobster roll and a salad and it was excellent. My wife got the lobster bisque and a salad that looked good. We both enjoyed the bisque. read more

Meh. Drinks were decent as was the Tuna Poke appetizer. We split the House salad. It was yummy (pears are difficult to get right for ripeness). But, the Main entree I had (Tomahawk Pork Chop) missed the mark. It was good, but nothing exceptional or food-tacular. It was a bone in pork chop, much thinner then I'd expect for a Tomahawk (it was about 1/2"). Fortunately it was not overdone to the point of chewiness / dryness. But was well cooked for my taste. We'll go again to give it another try, but honestly at the price point I think you are just paying to sit in a historic old Post Office turned City Hall turned restaurant. read more

Celebrated an anniversary dinner here and everything was fantastic. Our server was attentive while also letting us take our time, the steaks were cooked as requested and delicious, and portions were perfect for sharing. Many options on the drink menu as well! We were seated in the back for a quieter/more intimate experience, and it was perfect. read more

Really good food and good service. Quite a bit pricy though. As in over charging for drinks on a huge level.

Went here this last Wednesday at 5:15pm without a reservation since it's a weeknight and pretty early dinner. The place was empty since they just started dinner service at 5pm but the hostess stated they couldn't serve us without a reservation. HUH?! How interesting since there are past reviewers stating they came without a reservation. It was quite an awkward and uncomfortable conversation. Perhaps if we were of white descent, they would've greeted us with better hospitality. Do not recommend this place and would not be coming back. DO BETTER! read more
