    A rare find in the suburbs, located in Reading and in a beautiful renovated former post office building. The ambiance is... well... amazing. Comfortable booths with flora everywhere and where the owners greet you at the door to escort you to your table. Appetizers and drinks to start. Great wine selection. This is for sure a steak place and aged beef and preparation are well worth the price. Fabulous dessert selection and delicious steaks. Business casual is the dress code and parking lot is next door. The owners clearly went full scale on the exquisite appointments and the staff is there to please you in every way!! No need to go into Boston for a great restaurant! Bon Appetite!!

    Wagyu Dumplings

    The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. We tried the goat cheese salad, calamari, lobster tacos and wagyu dumplings. We came for lunch but it was a holiday weekend so they were only serving the dinner menu. The only thing we weren't crazy about was the calamari. It was very good quality calamari but it was on the sweeter side for our personal taste.

    Heard so much about this place and really wanted to stay local so for my birthday the husband took me here. The ambiance is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing and modern but not in a weird way. Our server (whose name I have forgotten) was so lovely and friendly and attentive (not overly attentive). What made this special is going to come as a bit of a surprise I think. Never have I been to a restaurant where they have handed me a birthday card. Never. Except here. As a girl who doesn't have family here it's the small things that can move you to tears. This was the extra step that will list this place as one of my favorites. For starters we had the octopus was lovely, wish there were a few more potatoes on the plate as they had this lovely sauce on them. I had the filet and it was so delicious. The butter cake for desert. The meal was perfect and exactly what I wanted to enjoy. Will definitely be back!

    Real steak house steak looks like this. Rib eye at Pellana's vs the 1/2 inch thick steak I got at the 1917

    I want to clarify on my last review. The waiter misinformed us last time that the chicken parm was cooked in the deep fryer. The chicken parm is pan fried, all the time. Thank you to the manager for specifying this. We love this place!

    Post 1917 Steakhouse Review 136 Haven St, Reading, MA 01867 Nestled in a beautifully restored old post office in Reading, Post 1917 Steakhouse is a culinary gem brought to life by the visionary **Jason Carron. The Mains - **Chicken Parmesan**: The largest, juiciest chicken parm you'll ever see, topped with a sweet, flavorful tomato sauce--no pasta needed. Simple yet perfect. **10/10** - **Pan-Seared Scallops**: Paired with a velvety mushroom risotto and a bold coffee reduction, these six perfectly cooked scallops were well worth the $49 price tag. **10/10** - **Bone-In Ribeye**: Cooked to medium-rare perfection and complemented by a sauce flight featuring rosemary, blue cheese, demi-glace, marrow butter, and more. The demi-glace was a standout! **10/10** Pro tip: The sauce flight is a must especially if you are sharing with friends (I know its an extra $18 but just trust me). Starters to Share - **Lamb Lollipops**: Tender, juicy, and paired with roasted cashews and a refreshing mint glaze. Only complaint? Needed more mint glaze! **9/10** - **Crab Cakes**: These were packed with flavor, and the accompanying lobster sauce was so good I wanted to take it home! **10/10** Desserts - The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, while the snickerdoodle cake with ice cream** was a nostalgic yet elevated treat to end the meal. **10/10** From the warm ambiance to the masterfully executed dishes, every bite at Post 1917 feels like a celebration of culinary artistry. While the prices reflect its upscale nature, this is the perfect spot for a special night out on the North Shore. Food: 10/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Affordability: 3/10 (but worth it for a special occasion!)

    Perfect steak

    I've been here a couple of times and it's a wonderful restaurant. Beautiful space, very well decorated, feels very high end with being comfortable at the same time. There is a dining room and large bar area so plenty of seating options. I've always had a reservation here, but they do take walk-ins as well. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The highlights here are definitely the cocktails, steaks, and desserts. Cocktails are creative and well balanced, comparable if not better to ones I've had in Boston high end restaurants. Steaks are always perfectly cooked and I love to add on a sauce or butter which really enhances the steak. We had the key lime tart at our last visit and it was absolutely heavenly: light, sweet, buttery, with the perfect amount of lime. The misses are some appetizers and sides. The wagyu beef dumplings were ok but did not seem like a steak house appetizer, they were somewhat dry and one dimensional. I did enjoy the wedge salad, would definitely get again. I've had a few sides here, the corn is excellent, Brussels sprouts were ok, and the mashed potatoes were a little under-seasoned and cold. I will definitely be back though, the overall experience is amazing, great date night spot!

    Scallops
    Yanni P.

    Interior is very exquisite and it is a very nice location that used to be a post office. I enjoyed the scallops but everything else was just above average. The shrimp cocktail only had four shrimp and they were a bit tough. Service was great and I had a good time.

We came on a Thurs at 6 and it wasn't too busy at all but definitely filled up by the time we left around 7:30. We got a few drinks and beers. For hearing about their drink menu, I was surprised that it was pretty limited list and they also didn't have any beer on draft, only cans. The cocktails were good but not outstanding. For food, we started with the chengdu chicken wings which were huge and delicious. Perfectly crispy and they had a nice sweet/spicy sauce with it. We also ordered eggplant with spicy garlic sauce, Chongqing dry hot chicken, house fried rice, shrimp/scallop, braised fish with napa cabbage and Wok Crispy Salt & Pepper Shrimp & Scallop. Standouts were the shrimp/scallop that were nicely breaded but you could still taste the fish and was well seasoned. Braised fish with napa cabbage was very flavorful and the braised fish was sooo tender. Also can never go wrong with the eggplant that was cooked down well but still had texture and a yummy sauce.

    Have visited several times over the past 4 years when coming back to visit family in the area. A…read morenumber of other reviewers have commented that "things have changed", and I, unfortunately, agree. Visited on a Saturday evening - the place should be packed, but it wasn't. I easily secured a same day bar seat reservation for 8PM. After checking in, was seated at a half empty downstairs bar. No physical menus, everything was done via a QR which is fine I guess, but for a spot that positions itself as a premiere bar a bit tacky. The online menu on the public website is the only menu and where the QR takes you. I asked for a spirits list (logical for a cocktail forward bar), I got a quizzical look and a shrug of the shoulders in return. Given the menu was only 8 cocktails, picking from those I started with the Beachcomber Mai Tai for a whopping $18. This, if it's the true spec, should be a rum forward cocktail with 2 1/2 oz of rum. They batch their cocktails (not a problem) so I couldn't see their build, but there is absolutely no way this drink is made to specification - my guess is they are skimping on rum as a cost play, batching lets them get away with it. Drink was, frankly, pretty forgettable - not bad, just unremarkable. Wanting to see how they could do off-menu, I asked the bartender to make me a Hemingway Daiquiri. Now, for a cocktail bar that has a long history of rum centric and tiki leaning cocktails, this should be an off the top of their head cocktail. It's simple - white rum, lime and grapefruit juice, and maraschino liqueur. Bartender had never heard of it before, and then spent a few minutes staring in to his phone presumably looking up the recipe. He built it using Rhum JM white rum which is absolutely the wrong rum for this drink - it needs a white Cuban rum (which we know we can't get in the U.S.), so the usual sub would be Bacardi, Planteray 3 stars, Probitas, or others. Definitely not a Martinique agricole. This may be a too detailed nit for some, but with the framing that this is supposed to be a premium cocktail bar, this is an error that should not happen, and not for $18. Figuring the third time might be a charm, ordered the Trader Vic 1944 Mai Tai. This is the classic, the standard against which all others are measured. It's a distinct recipe, especially if you call yours the 1944 Mai Tai. This was not that. It was again light on rum with probably the wrong rums used in their blend. It was also substantially over dosed with orgeat making the almond sweetness an almost overpowering flavor versus playing a subtle supporting actor role. Again, swing and a miss. Drinkable if you like sweet, and don't mind hefty almond. But if you want to try the real Mai Tai - this is not it. Overall, for the price, fairly indifferent bar service, lack of information available to the customer (e.g., spirits list, etc.), and fairly off the mark cocktails I think you can find far better spots right now for that same money. If you definitely want that tiki inspired cocktail vibe - your better bet will be places like Wusong Road in Cambridge or Shore Leave in Boston, and I'm sure there are others. Sorry Baldwin Bar, you've lost your edge and it shows.

The service was really good, and the staff was very knowledgeable about the menu and made good recommendations. For our appetizers, we had bang-bang broccoli and crispy chicken dumplings. The broccoli was so amazing. It didn't feel mushy, and it was the perfect crisp. The dumplings were also great and had a good flavor. For my drink, I had a margarita. It had a nice kick, but it wasn't overwhelmingly strong. For my entrée, I had Baked Tortellini Bolognese. It was so good, and there was so much food on the plate that I had some leftover to take back with me. The short rib and sausage were both tender. Everything on the tortellini was amazing. The short rib packed such a great flavor, and it was so tender. It easily made the dish. I'm so glad I went with my gut and ordered. They also took great care regarding my shellfish allergy and checked to make sure I had no issues, as someone in my group had ordered seafood. I thought that it was very considerate of them to do. Overall, I enjoyed my visit, and if I am in town for business again, I hope that we are able to stop back by.

I've never been to a restaurant where the private event occupied the patio, the private room, and used the main dining room without the restaurant insisting the group rented the whole restaurant for the evening. There were a handful of other diners including a family with kids attempting to eat dinner who were completely surrounded by the attendees standing around for the raffle.
