About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
At the Post we are bringing together comfort food you can feel good about with innovative cocktails, a special spirits list, craft beer & wines, the post offers a neighborhood dining experience for sharing a drink or meal with friends, family, or coworkers. Opened by Victoria Breslin in early 2018, the restaurant will serve a menu that changes according to the season. Our chef focuses on ingredients from local, responsible, and sustainable farmers. The bar program will follow the same philosophy with seasonal and fresh new ideas and ingredients.

History
Established in 2018.

The restaurant's name draws from the history of the Main Street building it's housed in, known as the Copeland Building. The historic building, which is on the list of Los Altos Historic Landmarks, originally housed the city's post office.

    The food was good, but not memorable. The service was not good. We asked for an item that came very late. The waitress never checked on us, and we had to ask another waiter for water
    The PostResponded 5 days ago
    Thanks for the review, Susan. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our food, but we're sorry to hear that the service didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide excellent service to all our guests, and we regret that we fell short in this instance. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better dining experience in the future.

    Great food, great service, a little cold temperature wise, and a little on the noisier side, so if you want, ask for a quieter table.
