    We were in a few weeks ago and had to come back for the Seared Tuna. We tried the Pasta A La Posto for the first time this visit too. Amazing. Our server Liz was amazing and made a point to visit with us as well as take care of our order. The food and staff at Posto 31 creates an experience far beyond anywhere else we dine. Chef Jason is a mastermind. We’ll be back and soon.

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and the portions were just right. We really enjoyed our appetizers (corn bread, fried green tomatoes, crab cakes) and our entrees (I absolutely loved the burnt ends). The cocktails were fantastic as well - I had the fig cosmo(?)
