The food was amazing!!!! I got the eggs Benedict and my bf got the french toast. Both were tie die for!!! We also got the ube cold foam espresso martini, which was delicious. My bf doesn't even like espresso martinis and he enjoyed it. Service was great! Ambiance was very nice with beautiful plants and aesthetic. It's also on the Michelin list , which I can see why. read more

It's been awhile since I've been here so I thought I'd update my review. Since my review 13 years ago the space has been remodeled, updated and are bigger (there's more space). The food is solid. It's as tasty and well put together as I remember it to be. We started with the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits. I think these have been here since day one. They're FULL of lovely smoky bacon pieces and are at least 4" round! It's a pretty hearty appetizer. We quickly moved on to dinner, here's what the table ordered: Lobster & Sweet Corn Risotto - the risotto was cooked perfectly. Be sure to mix that poblano pepper butter in the middle up, it adds a great smoky chili flavor to each bite. My oinly complaint about this dish is that they used claw meat. I'm just not a fan of lobster claw, it's too gelatinously rubbery for me. Skirt Steak - Oooo, this was medium rare to perfection. The smoked paprika chimichurri gave a burst of flavor and a mild heat at the back of my throat. Chilean Sea Bass - Chilean sea bass always cuts like buttah! 2 people ordered this at our table and I'm pretty sure they loved it, that side of the table was pretty silent for 15 - 20 mins. Pork Porterhouse - This dish had the most flavor. The spaetzle was cooked and browned on the griddle, it had a fantastic crispy crust. It was a little on the salty side BUT I think 's because it needed more carbs to tame the salt. For me, it would have been PERFECT with a little rice or mashed potatoes or creamed sunchokes. Parking still sucks in MB but right behind the restaurant is a parking garage that's free after 6 pm. read more

We have been coming to this place since it opened. See my 2011 review! We have been a little tighter with our budget over the last 5 years and have only been here a few times since 2020. It used to be my favorite restaurant in the world for several reasons: casual with a LOCAL vibe, new and exciting menu every time we came in, delicious food experiences as they were making such amazing dishes. With the remodel, all ties to its past (the post office) have been removed. Now it is just a fancy Marie Calendars with no personality. For the first time ever, last night for Father's Day, I didn't see a single main dish item that interested me. We had all appetizers and salads. For some reason even the bacon biscuits underwhelmed. The flavor just wasn't as savory as I remember. The tomato salad had very sad tomatoes. The risotto lobster dish did not seem to have any risotto in it; it was all corn. The Muscles were good and the green beans were good. I also like the shrimp on toast, as strange as that sounded. I enjoyed the strawberry dessert as well. Thankfully, Justin, our waiter, took great care of us and made up for any disappointment we were experiencing. It seemed to me that this restaurant is now just an afterthought for the busy owners as they manage several venues. It is no longer the standout leader in town it once was. read more

MBP never fails to delight! Chef David LeFevre's kick off restaurant brings excellent flavors and combinations to your palette! We went to celebrate Mother's Day for my wire! Anyone who knows the biz knows that Mother's Day is an insanely busy day! We were seated promptly. We started with their decadent warm banana bread with caramel and butter! They sent us the blistered green beans with pork belly cubes, delicious! Our daughter had orrechiette with lobster, very tasty! Wifey had the classic eggs Benny and I had the breakfast burrito! All very satisfying! And thanks to our server, Danny for taking care of us! Mahalo to the managers, Brian and Shawn! read more

Solid dinner spot in Manhattan Beach... great vibe and the staff were super friendly. Ended up sitting at the bar since it was Friday night and the place was hopping. We had the mussels to start and they were very fresh and flavorful. Pro tip.... Let the crostinis fall down into the broth to soak up all of the flavor! I ordered the scallops and they were cooked perfectly. The sweetness of the corn relish helped balance the richness of the polenta. The only complaint is that the dish was missing a textural element to give it some crunch. Otherwise it was great. The reviews aren't wrong about this place - check it out read more

Girls Sunday Brunch in a beautiful aesthetic and open air. We went with a couple of different things for brunch. We started with the biscuits. If you aren't getting them, you aren't living!

Came here with my boyfriend after a 16 mile run from Pacific Palisades to Manhattan Beach and honestly it was the perfect place to land. Got there right before the dinner rush without reservations and were seated immediately. Always appreciate that. Justin took care of us and was such a gem. Warm, attentive, just very thoughtful and kind the whole night. He even surprised us with the Elvis dessert at the end, which was really sweet. The space is beautiful. Dim lighting. Glowy inside. Lively but not too loud. Very Manhattan Beach. We got the bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits, roasted Alaskan halibut, and grilled skirt steak. The biscuits were unreal. The halibut felt light but still rich in the best way. The skirt steak had a great char and was exactly what I wanted after that long of a run. Just a really lovely dinner after a long run. Felt taken care of the whole time, I've already recommended this restaurant to friends and can't wait to come back myself read more

The first thing I noticed about Manhattan Beach Post was the plants. Not because there were a few plants. Lots of restaurants have a few plants. These plants appeared to have union representation. They're everywhere. Hanging from things. Growing out of things. Quietly observing your meal. The whole place feels like someone built a really nice restaurant and then let nature move in as a long term tenant. The room hums. Not loudly. Not aggressively. Just enough. Glasses clink. People lean into conversations. Servers weave through the room carrying plates that look heavy enough to alter their center of gravity. Nobody seems rushed. Everybody seems busy. It's a difficult balance. The biscuits arrived first. Now, I'd heard about the biscuits. People talk about these biscuits the way fishermen talk about the one that got away. Slightly dramatic. A little emotional. Hard to verify. Turns out the stories were true. Warm bacon cheddar biscuits with maple butter. I took one bite and immediately understood why people order a second round. The outside has just enough structure to remind you it's baked. The inside is soft enough to make you wonder whether butter has secretly become a building material. We ordered another. Not because we needed another. Because apparently that's what happens here. The creamy polenta showed up next and felt like the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket. Comforting. Smooth. Relaxed. The sort of dish that encourages you to slow down and stop checking your phone. The duck was one of my favorites. Lightly fried with crisp skin and tender meat, resting on white Italian beans and rosemary. It felt like something a French chef would cook after spending a weekend in the countryside and becoming briefly inspired by fresh air. At some point you stop evaluating food and simply nod in agreement with it. This was one of those moments. Dessert was equally dangerous. The olive oil cake arrived with strawberries and disappeared much faster than logic suggested it should. The cheesecake somehow managed to be rich and light at the same time, which feels like it should violate a law of physics somewhere. Service deserves its own mention. The whole team operates like a group project where everyone actually did their part. Plates appeared when they should. Water glasses mysteriously refilled themselves. Questions were answered without anyone making you feel like you should already know the answer. The chef's French influence shows up everywhere, but not in a showy way. Nothing feels complicated for the sake of being complicated. Everything feels like somebody spent a lot of time thinking about it so you wouldn't have to. By the end of the meal, I realized Manhattan Beach Post had done something difficult. It felt special without feeling serious. You can dress up. You can come casually. You can celebrate something important or absolutely nothing at all. Just order the biscuits. The plants already know you're going to. read more

Good experience at this restaurant in Manhattan beach. Modern take on Southern and general American cuisine. Food was great, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though. read more

Came in for a quick drink and would be interested to try the food. We came after brunch on a Sunday and so only got drinks and their Blueberry Coffee Cake (which was so yummy and had a delicious crumble on top). The Old Fashioned I had was good, and my friend got a White Negroni which was super tasty and reminded me of something I had in Spain. The wait staff is pretty attractive as well, so it's always nice to have something to look at while we wine and dine. Only thing preventing the 5 star was the bartender didn't know how to make Bee's Knees, but forgivable. I'll come back and update the review after I try more of their food and maybe give that extra star. read more

Realized the last time I wrote a review about my favorite restaurant ever was 11 years ago. Time for an update- it is still my favorite restaurant in the South Bay. The service and the food is superb every time we come here! This particular review is from when I last visited in November and Carter B was our sever. I brought my friend who was in town and we got the skirt steak, bacon cheddar biscuit, green beans, mussels, Brussel sprouts, and two desserts! I love The Elvis dessert but the seasonal dessert we got was just as good. The ambiance is great, but it does get a little loud sometimes. read more

Service was definitely lacking.. most servers seem green and definitely felt their awkwardness when interacting. We ordered the spicy marg, tasted great but pretty standard flavors. The cheddar bacon biscuits are their famous item which we love! I wish I knew how to make it at home. I always order the hanger steak. Scallops were cooked to perfection, just wish the portion was bigger. Overall it was a nice dinner but definitely on the expensive side. read more

Came to Manhattan Beach Post to celebrate one of my best friend's birthdays and had a great experience. The restaurant has a cozy, well decorated space with a warm and inviting vibe that makes it perfect for a celebration. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the night, which made the experience even better. We started with their famous bacon cheddar biscuit. I was initially skeptical since I am not usually a biscuit person, but it ended up being delicious, especially with the whipped maple butter. We also tried the hamachi which was fresh and nicely paired with fruit, along with the brussels sprouts and the arrabbiata. Both were flavorful, with the pasta having a great chewy texture. The fries were a standout, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a really enjoyable night, and I would happily come back again. read more

Came here for brunch and got the MB Post Breakfast with bacon and the key lime éclairs. The MB Post Breakfast doesn't look like a big portion when the plate first comes out, but looks can be deceiving! I was totally full after dessert. The butter with the fluffy biscuit was absolute heaven. I really enjoyed the green sauce--I used it on both the eggs and the potatoes. The fruit was refreshing, and the bacon was so perfectly crunchy. The key lime éclairs were so delicious. I was genuinely sad that we had to split two bars between four people. The waiter was so nice and attentive, checking in often without feeling intrusive, and he had great menu recommendations that made the experience even better. The ambiance was warm and lively--modern but cozy--without being too loud to enjoy a conversation. It felt like the kind of place you want to linger in. The only reason this review isn't a full 5 stars is because I went back a second time on a different day, and it wasn't as good. In fact, I mentioned that the lime zest was missing from the éclairs, and only after I pointed it out did they bring our party another plate. Hoping my first experience was the true representation of how great this place can be! read more

Spent a weekend exploring Manhattan Beach and decided to have brunch in this restaurant which is located just across from the beach. It was a busy day for them but glad that we made a reservation ahead. The restaurant has multiple sections for either group or intimate seating. At the lobby, there's couches facing a fireplace. When you enter the main dining room, there's a bar and a lot of seating available. We decided to order the following: Lobster avocado toast $28 Eggs Benedict $23 Blood and smoke $13.50 I loved that the ingredients were fresh including the lobster. I love avocado with anything so when it's paired with fresh lobster, it's perfection. Eggs Benedict was also delicious and I loved that eggs were perfectly cooked. The blood and smoke was the perfect drink to complement both entrees. So the next time you're in Manhattan and wanted to splurge, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Just come for the biscuits...biscuits, biscuits and more biscuits! The food is fantastic, great service and ambiance. One of my faves was the mussels in the curry sauce with sticky rice, so flavorful. The Brussel sprouts were on the oily side for me, I was hoping for some crunch but it was swimming in oil. We had a large party and the food came out at a nice pace. Did I say the biscuits are to die for? read more

I came here for my moms birthday with my family! Didn't know what to expect cus I didn't look at the menu but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered the biscuits, little gem salad ( I think that's what it was called) the pork ricotta pasta, the burger, chicken sandwich, and one pasta that I don't know the name of. I hate to say the biscuits and fries were my favorite .... LOL. It might be bc I was hungry and it was the first thing we ate but it's delicious! The chicken sandwich was also my favorite. That green sauce that's in there, so fire. I ordered the ricotta thinking it was risotto.. so I wasn't really a fan of it. :/ I also really enjoyed the salad, it was really refreshing and the lettuce they use is soooo juicy and fresh! The burger was alright and I didn't try to pumpkin cake or that other pasta I have pictured but my family loved it! Don't think I'll ever try this place on my own but it was a pleasant experience. All of the servers were very attentive and nice. The restaurant is right in front of the ocean and the inside gives outdooorsy vibes, like it feels like you're sitting outside but you're actually inside! read more

Decided to come here for Happy Hour since we needed to kill some time and get a quick bite before a birthday party. The place has been updated since the last time we were here years ago. I really like the decor, they have a lounge/bar area in the front and dinner seats in the back. We were seated quickly in the front. Server came right away to get our drinks and take our order. We decided to get the jidori fried chicken sandwich, couple orders of fries and 3 MB Post burgers. Burgers were really good, meat was fresh and juicy. My chicken sandwich was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It also had a great spicy sauce... would order this again. Fries were nice and crunchy and flavorful. Great happy hour food and great happy hour price! read more

I had a fantastic dinner at MB Post! The food here never fails to impress. The Hamachi Crudo was incredibly fresh and flavorful--a perfect way to start the meal. I was most surprised by the Skirt Steak; it was so tender and juicy that I could hardly believe it was a skirt steak! It literally melted in my mouth. The Lobster Risotto was delicious, though it was a tad on the salty side for my taste, but still very rich and satisfying. However, the absolute highlight of the night was the Bacon Cheddar Biscuits. They are hands down the best thing on the menu--you cannot leave without trying them! Great vibes and even better food. Highly recommend! read more

Manhattan Beach Post nails it on every front -- incredible food, warm service, and a perfect coastal location. We ordered a variety of plates to share -- pasta, steak, crispy Brussels sprouts, yellowtail, pita, and a charcuterie board -- and everything was simple yet perfectly executed. You can tell the kitchen focuses on quality ingredients and clean flavors that let each dish shine. The ambiance inside is serene and inviting, with a relaxed coastal energy that makes it great for both a laid-back lunch or a cozy date night. It's the kind of spot that makes Manhattan Beach dining feel special -- refined but never pretentious. Definitely one of my new favorites. read more

A team meeting dinner for 8- the vibe of tge atmosphere is light and many succulents. We struggled a bit figuring out the menu as our waiter said the dishes are shareable but it is such an eclectic menu. We ended up each selecting our own dish and frankly once we got the fishes it seemed to make more sense with the size of the portions. Everyone mentioned they enjoyed their dishes so that IS the goal! My pasta was really good and more than I could finish! We did start with their biscuits and for sharing the portion is just only 2 so that added to the confusion initially. All in all service was very attentive! The food was flavorful and we enjoyed ourselves. read more

I've been here a few times for brunch/lunch but this review is for the dinner menu. I reserved this place on Opentable for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. And though it isn't necessary, I thought it would have been nice if our server checked our reservation and saw that I had put it twice that the occasion was for a birthday, and would have wished him a happy birthday. We ordered the famous biscuits as I was raving about them on the way to the restaurant, yuzu zucchini salad, Japanese hamachi crudo, and grilled skirt steak. My favorites were the cheddar bacon biscuits and yuzu zucchini salad. Personally I like this place more for brunch/lunch than for dinner but if you come please get the biscuits!! read more

The moment that cheddar bacon biscuit touched my tongue, reality shattered. Warm, flaky layers exploded with molten cheese, each crisp bacon fragment delivering smoky artillery fire across my palate. The butter's richness created a golden aura around my trembling form as I reached for another, helpless against its power. But the true battle had only begun. The charcuterie board arrived like an ancient general's tactical map. Cured meats draped across the plate--each slice a different weapon in the chef's arsenal. Prosciutto melted like silk on contact and the accompaniments formed perfect support battalions. Cornichons! Mustard! The acid cut through fat with surgical precision, resetting my palate for the next devastating blow. Then came the porter house pork chop. Time stopped. The sear on that magnificent beast gleamed under the lights like polished armor. My fork sank through the tender flesh as if it were warm clouds, juices flowing across the plate in victorious streams. The mushroom sauce cascaded down, earthy and deep, each fungal note building a symphony of umami that made my eyes roll back. And the spätzle--those little pillowy soldiers absorbed the sauce, becoming flavor grenades that detonated with each bite! The lobster risotto entered the arena with aristocratic confidence. Creamy. Too creamy! The rice had achieved that impossible texture between firm and yielding, each grain perfectly suspended in a sea of buttery, oceanic bliss. Chunks of sweet lobster meat emerged like treasures, their delicate brininess elevated by the Parmesan's sharp embrace. Finally, the blood orange caramel cheesecake delivered the finishing move. Tangy citrus cut through rich cream, the caramel adding a bittersweet depth that made my soul ascend into the heavens above Manhattan Beach! Victory... was delicious.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

We had a really positive experience with the service from the moment we walked in--friendly, attentive, and consistent throughout the meal, which definitely stood out and made us feel welcome. That said, the food didn't quite live up to the same standard. I initially wanted a breakfast burrito but was told it couldn't be customized since the filling is pre-prepared the day before, which was a bit disappointing. I ended up ordering the traditional breakfast instead. Unfortunately, the potatoes tasted like they had been cooked earlier and reheated, and the bacon was overwhelmingly salty. We also tried the specialty bacon cheddar biscuits, which were a letdown--very dry and hard. We ordered two servings but left one untouched because they just weren't enjoyable. Overall, we'd rate this experience 4 stars largely because of the excellent service. We'd be open to coming back to try the dinner menu, but we'll likely skip breakfast or brunch next time. read more

Consistently a great dining experience! I hadn't stopped in here for many months and I'm so happy I did last night. As per usual, the food and drinks were delicious. We had the famous cheddar/bacon biscuits, scallops, baby gem lettuce salad and short ribs. Each dish was spot on. The highlight were the short ribs, very tender and seasoned to perfection. We will be back sooner rather than later! Sit at the bar, the bartenders are super friendly and don't mind giving samples of signature beverages! read more

We just had the Japanese Hamachi Crudo, which was fantastic. The Finn in it gives us amazing rush bite after you taste the Crudo. We also ate new to the menu the creole honey butter lays half chicken. Let me tell you the sauce on this chicken was fantastic. It's a white barbecue sauce. As far as the staff the manager Marquin is incredible. He's actually working behind the bar helping the bartenders to keep up on drink so they don't go out late. Our bartender Lucas was amazing super friendly, very engaging and made a delicious mock cocktail from scratch. if you're in the Manhattan Beach area I would definitely stay to stop by.

We were really looking forward to dining here, but the experience was disappointing from the start. We did our due diligence by checking Yelp and Google Reviews which all showcased this great outdoor dining area (photos and listed here on Yelp and other sites), and we even made an OpenTable reservation specifically requesting "outdoor dining" in the comments. Despite the request, no one called us to clarify their seating options. After navigating the very challenging parking in this area, we arrived only to be told by both hosts that they don't actually have any outdoor dining accommodations. We understand if policies or layouts change, but it would have been professional to receive a call letting us know beforehand. Fortunately, this led us to call The Strand House, where we were able to get a wonderful patio table. They were incredibly professional, and the food was both terrific and memorable. While we won't be returning to MB Post, we highly recommend heading over to The Strand instead. read more

Had a late brunch here today. It was a good time to come - 2 pm. Not very busy. The place can get loud. We had really good service. We had a very light meal but everything was good. My friend had the biscuits - she wanted them to be more flaky, but the flavors were great! We also had the pumpkin coffee cake which was delish! The green beans and crudo were also very good. The only thing about the crudo was it was a little thicker than I like - still tasted good with pomegranates. Maybe more seasonal items. There's lots of parking within a short walk. Not as easy over the summertime. read more

My group love love loved this place! We came for brunch and had the Bacon Cheddar Biscuits, Skirt Steak, and Crispy Caramel Brussel Sprouts. Everything was phenomenal and oh so flavorful. Great for sharing and much more filling than it looks. I'd recommend everything we had, and then some. Yes, prices are a bit high, but in-line with expectations for the neighborhood and the quality. Service was efficient, courteous and very much appreciated. I will definitely be back for dinner. I can see why this place is a hit for locals, and should be on every tourist's list. Those biscuits are worth a trip, alone! There's street parking all around and a parking garage nearby. Be sure to check your parking meters. read more

MB Post can best described as a casual fine dining place with an intimate ambiance. After 12+ years, they are doing even better with food, drink, and an updated look. Chef Lefreve continues his passion for fine dining and doesn't disappoint. The menu is balanced with excellent dishes from skirt steaks to heritage pork. Side dishes are hearty and offer creative takes on flavors and textures with seasonal flair. The ambiance also offers a nice, casual atmosphere with a stocked bar that doubles for dining.

Ambience is great, food was okay, service could be improved especially for what you pay for! They forgot one of our dishes and didn't bring it out until we were all finished with our mains and asked about the missing dish. The waiter said he would check with the kitchen and I guess it was missed. We were then charged for it twice on our bill... good thing we caught the extra charge. Kind of annoying that they not only forgot one our dishes but also tried to charge us for it twice. Came here for dinner on a Thursday night with reservations. Parking is hard find even on the weekdays. The restaurant is beautiful and there is a nice waiting area where you can order drinks. The food was good and the presentation was wonderful. The DineLA menu seemed to be an up charge so we ordered off the regular menu as well. One person ordered off the DineLA menu and got the scallop crudo, sea bass, and pistachio ice cream. The scallop crudo was very fish and not pleasant in mind. The sea bass with curry was a little too sweet and dry. The pistachio ice cream was amazing though, and I would definitely recommend this. We also got the shellfish bolognese, skirt steak and scallops. The skirt steak was great, and the brocollini that came with it was super charred and flavorful. The bolognese was not what I was expecting, did not taste much shellfish and it was more of a meaty dish, but still good. The scallops arrived after we were done with all of our food, but they were probably the best main course. They were sweet and perfectly cooked. MBP is known as a nice restaurant and with the price tag I expect excellent food and service. The food is pretty good, some dishes have room for improvement. I was already slightly annoyed when they were forgetting drinks, but they also forgot an entree which is a much larger mistake. Bringing food out 20 minutes later when everyone is done eating just isn't really the vibe we were expecting from a restaurant of this caliber. Then seeing us be charged twice for it(an accident of course) on our bill was just salt on the wound. read more

MB Post didn't just roll out a fall menu -- they dropped a culinary mixtape that hits harder than a Thanksgiving food coma and tastes so good your mama might get slapped twice. Every dish feels like Chef David LeFevre raided autumn's pantry, flexed his technique, and said, "Watch this." Here's the play-by-play of the heavy hitters: Lobster Risotto -- 5/5 Slaps (the good kind) Creamy, buttery, perfectly al dente risotto crowned with sweet, luxe chunks of lobster. This wasn't risotto -- this was therapy. The depth of flavor? Nearly illegal. The kind of dish you pause after each bite just to admire what's happening in your mouth. Certified Slap Ya Mama Good. Chilean Seabass Special -- Fall's MVP The seabass came out melting like it forgot how to have structure -- silky, delicate, rich without being heavy. Paired with autumn aromatics and just the right hit of acidity, it was a "stop-talking-to-me-I'm-eating" moment. A masterclass in balance. New Scallop Setup with Fall Carrots -- Fall on a Plate Perfectly caramelized scallops with that sear you dream about. The fall carrot setup brings this earthy-sweet backbone that ties the plate together like an orchestra warming up in harmony. Elegant, seasonal, and straight-up addictive. Slap-worthy elegance. Slow-Cooked Short Rib Special -- A Hug in Entrée Form This short rib didn't "fall off the bone" -- the bone probably fell off it. Deep, rich, slow-cooked perfection with a sauce so glossy it could double as a luxury car finish. Cozy, comforting, and absolutely savage in flavor. A double-slappin' soul-warmer. Lobster Pot Pie -- Sheer Culinary Disrespect This is the dish you tell your therapist about because it awakened something in you. Flaky golden pastry hiding a steaming cauldron of lobster decadence -- creamy, rich, loaded, and ridiculously generous. You don't slap your mama after eating this. You call her and apologize for every bad thing you ever did. Caramel Apple Cheesecake -- Fall's Crown Jewel Imagine the best caramel apple you've ever had... now imagine it became a cheesecake and joined the Navy SEALs. Silky texture, warming spices, lush caramel, and tart apple cutting through the richness. Autumn in dessert form. Certified 10-finger lick, knock-the-chair-over good. Final Verdict MB Post's fall menu isn't just good -- it's dangerously good. It's the kind of menu that makes you consider ordering round two just to relive the moment. A seasonal knockout from top to bottom. Five of Five Slaps Slap Ya Mama Certified. Book a table, wear stretchy pants, and thank me later read more

We really enjoyed MB Post on several visits years ago, when it was newer and the small-plates, tapas-style menu felt consistently outstanding. The restaurant still has a lovely interior renovation, with lots of plants and an inviting ambiance, but the food no longer feels as special as it once did. We stopped in for brunch and thought the eggs Benedict was fine, though nothing memorable. The warm pecan dessert was especially disappointing: it arrived on a cold cast-iron skillet, was only barely warm, and lacked the soft, sticky texture we expected.
