    Beautiful day at a nice spot
    T M.

    Service was great. I have an issue that I thought should be addressed with the cook. I ordered a noodle bowl that included kimchi. There was a quantity of Korean hot sauce but no fermented cabbage. When the server asked how is it. I asked where is the kimchi, she checked and the cook says it's in the sauce. That's rediculous. Dude go to a super market and buy some. Anyway I ate the dish and didn't argue. But the next time I will send it back. Next thing not every one likes thick bacon. Order up some thin bacon and give a customer the choice of thin or thick. The wife doesn't want to chew on essentially bacon jerkey in a blt.

    My wife and I live in Oklahoma and never eat fish. Our server recommended to fish and chips and it was delicious!! She was very friendly! Nice view of the bay and it's a short drive to the pier, we got to see the frozen bay! Nice, cozy fisherman atmosphere.

    Beautiful view. Fish and chips was cooked to perfection. Best Greek Chicken salad I have ever had. This is definitely a must while in the area.

    Good food and location near water. When it gets busy, it is a little wait, but I definitely recommend it.

    Such a fun and unique dinner experience! The fish boil isn't just about the food--the explanation…read moreand the whole "show" while they're making dinner made it so entertaining. I also loved that you order ahead. We ordered the shrimp and corn, thinking that was basically what we were getting, but there was SO much more food than we expected! It also came with white potatoes, sweet potatoes, onion, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, celery, and cornbread. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the portions were incredibly generous. We skipped the cherry pie, and the only reason I'm glad we did is because we were completely stuffed by the end of dinner! Such a great meal and a really memorable experience!

    Reservations are required with a credit card, and everything has to be ordered ahead of time, so…read morethis is definitely a place you'll want to plan for. The atmosphere was very nice and had a more upscale, higher-class feel than I was expecting. We tried the baked chicken, fish boil, and BBQ ribs. The ribs were tasty and probably my favorite of the three. The fish boil came with nice chunky pieces of whitefish along with potatoes, onions, corn on the cob, sausage, celery, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and garlic. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of having the fish served in the broth/soup, but that's more of a personal preference than a knock on the quality of the food. The baked chicken was also prepared well. They offer the fish boil daily with seatings at 5:30 and 7:30, which makes for a unique Door County dining experience. Overall, good food, a nice atmosphere, and something different to try while visiting Door County. The ribs were definitely a standout for me. Thank You

There's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy, but they have lovely indoor seating as well. That takes you back and makes you feel like you are in someone's quaint little home!

They have all of your standard breakfast fair and you can add some delicious Door County cherries onto pancakes or waffles. Heads up--plan to get there early or plan to wait for a little bit once you arrive.

We loved hearing the history behind the fish boil and watching it come to life at the Old Post Office Restaurant! The dinner and experience was very reasonably priced at $30 per person and they offer options of fried chicken or ribs for those that don't care for fish. I'm (personally) not a big fish lover but I had to at least try it and it wasn't too bad! Dinner is also served with 3 different types of bread and a slice of delicious cherry pie! (Cherries are grown all over the peninsula). We sat outside on the front porch and watched the sun slowly set and the sky fill up with brilliant colors as we finished our dinner. I left with both my belly and heart as full as possible! We enjoyed the restaurant so much that I wanted to stop by on our way out of town, the last day, and try out their breakfast menu. I splurged and ordered the fresh cherry pancakes with a side of one egg and bacon. I planned to just eat half of my pancakes but I almost devoured them completely! My mouth is watering - several days later - as I am thinking about them and writing this review. I highly recommend the Old Post Office if you are in the area. Unfortunately you have to call the restaurant to make reservations but it's definitely worth the little bit of extra effort.
