Grab yourself a reservation ‍ Decided to take my dad out for his birthday and when looking for a restaurant, The Club on Post popped up and looked delicious. When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Overall a great experience. We would definitely come back! read more

I wonder if our server has any idea how much money he missed out on by repeatedly ignoring us and our empty cocktail glasses despite walking by us three times while I desperately tried to get his attention enough for him to talk to us. It's a pity, the reason we wanted to order more was because the cocktails were excellent! read more

Cute little gem of a restaurant in downtown San Jose that you honestly wouldn't notice unless you knew it was there, as it is completely unassuming from the outside. However, inside is a quaint, smaller space with an updated design and R&B music playing lightly in the background, so vibes are nice. I'd recommend making a reservation for this reason, which is easy to do on open table. There's also a bar area in case you'd like to stop by for a quick snack and/or drink. I got the crab cake Benedict and it was delicious. The crab cakes are thick and actually taste like crab. I also got an espresso martini. read more

Came here for date night. My wife and I love supporting small businesses. Food was amazing. The drinks were amazing! The staff were super friendly and attentive. The owners were also there having dinner with their family and it felt like I was there with my own family. 10/10 experience. Will def be coming back. read more

Super cute interior and great location, right in the center of downtown San Jose. I came here for dinner with two others for a girl's night, and it was a cozy setup with elf playing on the projector. For an appetizer, we got the garlic fries for the table, which were the perfect balance of flavor and crunch. Our server was great and kept refilling our water as soon as it was low; he was also very thorough with his menu explanation and let us know of the "secret" menu items. For my main dish, I got the vodka pasta and paid extra to add chicken. It honestly was not my favorite. I felt like the sauce lacked flavor and felt like it was missing something. I even asked for red pepper flakes to try to add some flavor, to no avail. I really liked the vibe of the spot/location, so I might try to come back to check out their brunch since I see that it is highly rated. read more

It's retro chic inside with outdoor bench seating. The chairs with the large armrests are however awkward to get in and out of with how close they have the table A few other misses were that we ordered 3 dirty martinis and they were all different in terms of flavor, amount of gin and olive juice. Asked for no bacon on a dish and it came with bacon. They comped a dessert for the mishaps, but forgot to address what we were there for, a birthday. For this price point expectations are a bit higher. Will say we otherwise found the dishes flavorful. read more

The Club On Post is a quaint little place on Post street that sort of gives me a San Francisco vibe. The neighborhood around it isn't great but once you step inside they transport you to a nice vibe. The atmosphere was nice and it is a refreshing addition to downtown. Although downtown was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon this place was pretty well attended. I had the shrimp and grits. It was good but the cherry tomatoes, peas and little green leaves looked pretty but didn't complement the flavor/texture in my opinion. The chicken and waffles had a variety of berries on it. The crème brûlée may have been one of the best I've had. They had a movie playing on the wall for ambience which was interesting. Perhaps a screen would help. I'd come back. read more

My friend and I were walking along Post St. and noticed The Club. We popped in to grab cocktails and share a meal. This small but mighty restaurant was such a great find! I liked the intimacy of the place, and we enjoyed the food, hospitality, and prompt service. The last item on their cocktail menu appealed to my curiosity, which was "Bartender's choice." Naturally I was intrigued to find out what it was going to be. They didn't ask for my spirit preference or flavor palette, so I was really at the mercy of the bartender. I adored my cocktail, and it was incredibly unique. Imagine if pho was a cocktail. I know that sounds weird but can't knock it 'til you try it. Our seabass entree was excellent. I just love the flaky, buttery texture of seabass. Appreciated that they served us with a big cut of the fish, and it was beautifully plated over a bed of fluffy quinoa. I would order this dish again in a heartbeat. Looking forward to checking out The Club again soon, maybe next time for brunch! read more

Final rating 3.5 I came here for brunch on a weekend. The seating was nice and they had both indoor and outdoor seating options. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. I initially ordered some garlic fries for the table, which were pretty good. I also tried the crabcake Benedict, which was pretty tasty and a bit of my brother's chicken and waffles, which was not for me. My friend got a shrimp and grits which he said was okay. The service on the food was a bit slow so don't come too hungry otherwise it was a relatively good experience and I would recommend the crab cake Benedict. read more

My friends and I made a reservation at the Club on Post about three weeks ago, for a little catch up dinner before going to see the Mouse Trap at the City Lights Theatre down the road. The restaurant is located in a little blocked off alley that you can only access by walking in. There are several parking lots nearby and we found one for about $8 for two hours, covered lot and all that. There are several cute stores nearby which are great to peruse and browse while waiting. We walked in and were immediately greeted and the server asked if we had a reservation. I said yes and they had a lovely table with a stunning floral arrangement all set up for us. If you are in a larger group you'll probably be at that same table - half the table are chairs the other side is a bench, so choose the chair if you need back support. The menus change seasonally but there were some excellent choices ranging from appetizers like fries and calamari to main dishes with steak, seafood, burgers, etc. I did not notice any specifically vegan or vegetarian meals aside from the salads or the pasta I ordered which can be with and without protein. Water glasses were filled immediately and the ambiance inside was relaxed yet still upscale. We ordered truffle fries for the table and then ordered the following for entree: bucatini with vodka with shrimp, shrimp and grits, salmon and risotto, the post hamburger, and the Chilean sea bass. Also a side of mashed potatoes. Everything was gorgeous and the portions were veryyyyy generous. My pasta with shrimp was amazing, luxurious sauce and perfect noodles. Everyone loved their meals and truly ate every last bite! Towards my couple last bites I noticed something about my dish and told a server. The owner came out to apologize for the issue and he was so nice and friendly and apologetic. The best part is that he went to the back of the restaurant to investigate how it happened so he could ensure it wouldn't happen again. He then covered most of our meal and gave us a delightfully yummy crème brûlée which was so pretty and tasty. Overall, wonderful experience with a stellar staff and an awesome business owner. Highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for brunch/ lunch today and we were so happy we decided to stop by! We were at San Pedro square trying some coffee places and saw this cute place on google and decided to walk over. The service was perfect and the food was delicious! We had the vodka pasta and chiliqulies. We will definitely be back again to possibly try dinner. We appreciated how patient the team was here while we took a while to decide what we wanted because we were quite surprised with the menu options and excited to eat something different than we usually do. 10/10 definitely will return soon read more

Food was delicious. Staff was friendly. Location was downtown San Jose. I loved that they showed a tv show on a wall. I would return to this restaurant. read more

The spot is really cute and great ambience, however the server did not really care about what i wanted. I am a vegetarian and asked that the eggs benedict only have eggs and not add meat to it ( as substitution that has worked for me for years).. and the server was like, no meat.. (the dish was called crabmeat benedict) so i was hoping to get only muffin and eggs, and the server repeated no meat.. i get ther order, i eat only to realize the patty is crab meat.. i tell her i said no meat and she said its crab, and. i politetly tell her its meat.. she shrugs off and walks away.. not even a sorry or that i could get eggs with just muffin... was a tad disappointed . other ppl did find the food ok, but would definitely be not coming back. If you want substitutions or have dietary restrictions, this is not the place, apart form that all is well read more

Really amazing food, drinks, and service! This is my new favorite brunch place for sure. The horchata French toast was perfect, and the chilaquiles were everything. read more

What an epic little find! We were in downtown SJ on a Saturday afternoon, and looking for a quick bite - found The Club on Post randomly on Google Maps and decided to give it a try. SO glad we did! As others have commented, this place in on the part of Post that's basically an alleyway in the "Qmunity" district. You could easily walk past it and miss it, so make sure to look for the signboard in front. Service was very pleasant, food was VERY good, and vibe was very chill. There was a party having fun at the table next to us, and because of the acoustics (no fabrics) it was a bit loud at times. If that bothers you, there are tables outside with full service. We had the burger, the truffle fries, bacon, beet salad -- all excellent. I was particularly impressed that when I asked to have the salmon (from another dish) added to the beet salad, the server didn't even bat an eye -- "Of course we can do that for you." Cocktails were lovely, including "Spirited" Agua Frescas -- a first for me. Papaya w/ vodka was pretty great... read more

My bf and I were in the area for a few errands and we stumbled across this place. It's tucked on Post street with cute shops nearby like Moments SJ and Tiny Keyboard shop. It was Saturday around lunchtime and not too busy at all. We were seated immediately. The interior design reminded me of Palm Desert vibes. It's a small restaurant but they have a full bar and nice decorations. We ordered the avocado toast ($24), horchata french toast ($22), and truffle fries ($16). The truffle fries came first. They were fine--crispy and garlicky. A good shareable! Then we got our entrees maybe 10-15 min later. The horchata french toast tasted more like a berry french toast with cinnamony ice cream. It was still good though, but it wasn't really giving horchata. The berry compote was nice and sweet. The bread they used was nicely toasted and buttery. My avocado toast was mehh. I felt like the slice of bread was so big compared to how much salmon and avocado I got. The avocado was a super thin layer. But I did get two poached eggs which were cooked fine. Honestly the brunch didn't stand out too much to me, but it wasn't horrible. Still a cute spot in DTSJ. read more

(Ryan Reynolds voiceover) The vibe is the most fabulous restaurant tucked away on Post! The street is closed off. Ooooh la la. Megan warmly greeted us. She is fantastic! Happily Ever After. Fabulous cocktail. My gosh what a way to begin the end of a looong day. It's like drinking a fairy tale! Espresso Martini. Such a pretty drink. cAMP here we come! Very Bond...sitting at a Cafe! Beet Salad. Watercress. Refreshing! Wholesome! Truffle Fries. mmhmm. Megan's fave. Soo good. Crab Croquette. Microgreens. Spicy marinara fantasy! Vodka Pasta. The IG model is a lush and if she's not drinking; she is eating Vodka. Short Ribs. My gosh. It is hearty! So scrumptuous. Microgreens. Sweet carrots. Satisfying! Creme Brulee avec Fresh Fruit. The perfect ending to a spectacular dining experience! Would order everything again! Thanks, Megan! Woohoo read more

Went here for dinner after hearing it was great! Can't agree more, definitely worth it. We had the burger, because the salmon risotto wasn't available that night. Burgers were very good. Great ambiance between the decor, music, lighting, and overall vibe. Only reason for 4 stars is the crazy up charge to change to truffle fries on the burger. $7 a piece ($14 total for two burgers) to change the fries on our burgers to truffle was a little wild. Also the calamari had Fresno chile peppers on the plate, that weren't in the description, so you can imagine our surprise when we bit into them thinking they were sweet peppers... They were SO spicy lol. Kind of funny in reflection but not fun in the moment. Overall worth a try! read more

We were so happy that we finally tried this place. It is situated on an adorable little pedestrian alleyway in downtown San Jose. It is a tiny restaurant with a very well curated menu from the Chef. Surprisingly they have a full bar and a lot of cocktails to choose from as well. Not a lengthy wine list but they do also have beer and wine. We had a wonderful meal, including the chef's soup of the day, which we hear is one of his specialties. The service was excellent and very attentive. It's in a very aesthetic on the inside as well and a beautiful place to have a nice quiet and cozy meal. The crab cook hats were excellent as were the truffle fries. We also enjoyed the pasta, and brussels sprouts. Would definitely recommend checking this place out as a unique dining option downtown! read more

The service and ambiance were great. The music was top notch and I love post street. We were seated before the chef arrived and the foot seemed rushed. Our potatoes weren't as crispy as we hoped, nor was the chicken on the waffles. A man overall good experience though, and a great addition to DTSJ. read more

Arriving at 1pm I was told there was a 30-45 min wait not bad. I recommend a reservation if you're pressed on time. Server said he would call yet didn't take my phone number or name down We came back and were seated promptly. Food was great friend had a burger not really pictured. We all had micheladas but tasted more lemony than a miche. They did have kids booster seats and kids cup so we were grateful for that. The staff kept trying to take our plates like 3 times at least. I was still eating The street is blocked and parking isn't the best. Place is super small so it feels cramped. I wouldn't come back but if you're looking to try the food is great! read more

I'd heard good things about this place and was excited to come for dinner but was pretty disappointed. Service was incredibly slow, as me and my friends ordered drinks and dinner but it took them at least 20-30 minutes to bring out the drinks and it wasn't super busy for a Friday evening. My friends and I had to ask staff twice to check on my drink and I think someone must've forgotten the first time I asked. The staff kept checking on us and asking if everything was okay multiple times throughout the evening. The food and drinks were good, but with the slow service I don't think I'd be back anytime soon. read more

(DTSJ) Food: CLUB CHICKEN SANDWICH (8.8/10)-Ciabatta roll, grilled chicken breast, bacon strips, provolone cheese, pesto sauce, arugula, red pepper relish. Served with fries. Overall enjoyed this dish- bread was nice and crunchy. chicken was grilled well. Only critique is I wish there were more pesto which would have brought out more kick on the bite. I was able to custom the fries to truffle which they were generous on the portion. Fries were crispy however did not taste much truffle PAN SEARED ATLANTIC SALMON(8.5/10)- Cauliflower rice, snap peas, parsley cream sauce- a bit on the pricier side. The salmon was cooked well. Lacked a little flavor. Overall the dish was delicious and aesthetically pleasing. Personally I would add lemon on the side CRAB CROQUETTES(8/10)- FRISE FENNEL RADISH SLAW. CALABRIAN RED PEPPERS SAUCE, PARMESAN CHEESE- great appetizer wish it was hotter with a little bit more sauce. Didn't taste the pepper much There was a wait for the two simple main entrees/drinks which the people next to us who came in after us got their entrees/drinks way before us. Not a big deal our food tasted great. Drinks: happily ever after (9/10) REPOSADO TEQUILA, HBISOUS CRAMON, LEMO. Really enjoyed this drink. Very flavorful with a unique taste. Good summer drink. Setting:Has an indoor/outdoor sitting. Feels like you are eating at someone's house. Has a projector screen on the wall where they play movies which I thought was cool. Happy hour - Wednesday-Friday 5pm-7pm Saturday 3pm-6pm Service: Servers were very friendly and helpful even though it was busy Price: price is moderate with great quality food Parking:side street parking read more

I came to the club on a rainy Saturday with a friend. It's pretty new so the restaurant was fairly empty. I ordered 2 drinks and the burger while my friend ordered 2 drinks and some fried calamari. We wanted the crab croquettes but they weren't available. The food was really delicious! The restaurant is really nice. It's spacious and located ideally in downtown San Jose. Our waitress was really attentive and made sure all of our questions were answered. All in all, i would definitely go back here. I'm glad I got to visit before this place becomes a lot more popular. read more

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Decided to try somewhere new and this place didn't disappoint. It was a cute quaint restaurant but had so much to offer. Each dish has a wonderful punch of personality to itself. We had a wonderful Friday date night. We enjoyed whiskey, so the selection was great! Can't go wrong with any choices straight or an old fashion ( high fashion) . Their margarita was so refreshing and pretty too. For starters, we had the pork belly- delicious! Also, the tuna tartare was nice as well. To main entrees, we love the surf and turf, especially the ribeye was cooked to perfection as in medium rare and shrimp was not over cooked as well. Also, had the seabass is a must, it's so buttery flavorful! I loved it! Dessert was decent, we had the lava cake with ice cream. It's still moist, but not much lava about it. I would come back again. The menu is small and place is quaint but it's still worth the visit. read more

My friend told me about this restaurant & I finally got a chance to check it out. We started off with some fried calamari and the garlic aioli complimented it perfectly. We ordered a couple of Cheeseburger's with truffle fries and our other friend ordered the Ribeye steak with creamy mashed potatoes. The burgers are high quality and packed with flavor in every bite. Just note that if you want to substitute the regular fries for truffle fries, they are an additional $7. The restaurant looks pretty new inside and they also have a nice selection of tequilas at the bar area. Overall I had a great experience from the food, service and great hospitality while we were there learning about the different tequilas that they have and the stories behind it. If you're in the downtown area and want to checkout something new, definitely give The Club a visit and try their food, you won't regret it. read more

Came to this cute little spot in downtown last Friday night. There was no wait but I suspect this place will get busier as it gets more known. The service was fast even though there were only two people, and our server was personal and did his best to answer my questions as the menu was new. I got the skirt steak as I don't see any reviews or pictures about it yet. It was a bit tougher than I expected it, but it was seasoned well. I like the garlic aioli a lot and it goes very well with the steak. The sweet potato fries are a hit - I would totally get it on its own. My partner enjoyed the vodka pasta and aperol spritz. The crème brûlée had a thick layer of sugar and was very creamy. I hope to come back for brunch next time! read more

Found this place while looking for somewhere that served Aperol Spritz's. It's nestled on Post street and I'd never noticed it before. Came in for a late lunch around 1:30 and there was no one else there. The space is small but super aesthetic. Got an aperol spritz and it was delicious! Also ordered the vodka pasta and the club burger. Both dishes were delicious! The vodka pasta is advertised as bucatini pasta on the menu but the dish itself had fusilli pasta. Either way it was deliciously creamy and flavorful! The burger was really tasty, ordered it medium well and it came with a hefty serving of fries. The service was excellent, we got checked on several times and water refilled before needing to ask. This is definitely a downtown SJ hidden gem and I'm excited to come back and try more items from the menu. read more

Heard about this place on TikTok and decided to stop by for drinks after dinner on a Friday. The place is small but very modern with nice decor. They even had a movie projected on a wall for you to watch while eating Service was great as they attentively checked in on us. We ordered two drinks to share and they also came out relatively quickly. Blueberry Mint Spirts (3/5) - This tasted like a very sour mint mojito. It honestly was too sour for my liking, kinda tasted like a warhead. The Club's Espresso Martini (5/5) - This drink was really creamy and had the perfect alcohol to espresso ratio. Probably one of the best martini's I've tried. read more

My friends and I came here to celebrate my late birthday and we loved it! The ambience/decor, music, the customer service, and the appetizers/drinks made it all a vibe. We came in around 6:30pm on a Saturday and it wasn't busy at all so we got seated right away. Our waitress was so nice and the owners were sweet as they checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our experience! We ended up ordering a few appetizers like the Brussel sprouts, truffle fries, and calamari. Everything was really good, but what made it was the dipping sauces lol. We all agreed the chipotle aioli was the best. We wished the calamari pieces were a bit bigger tho. We also ordered drinks and all of us liked our cocktails. My fav was the pineapple spritzer while my bf liked the pear. Def would love to come back to try their brunch or main dinner entrees next time. This is the cutest spot to gather with a small group of friends or enjoy a lunch date! They also have tables outside for bigger parties. Can't wait to come back :) read more
