Lonely Planet review for Poste

Named for its previous incarnation as the mail sorting room for the city post office, Poste has been busting out its A game these days. The menu is playfully attractive, divided between ‘pasta, ’ ‘pasture’ and ‘garden’ sections; the outdoor courtyard is one of the best alfresco dining spaces in the city; and the food lives up to this high bar. Chicken and corn? Sounds boring; executed flawlessly. Wreckfish with a wine-poached egg? Silly, sexy, beautifully presented and prepared. And give them credit for lightening up the fearsome tête de veau (head of cow) by rolling quail eggs, black truffles and frisee into a lovely terrine of veal cheeks. Come evenings, this is one of the better cocktail bars in town.

    Poste Happy Hour

    grguibert recommends this,

    Poste is a beautiful restaurant with a fun and lively bar scene at happy hour. In the summer, the outdoor patio allows for critical extra space, otherwise it can be quite crowded. The drink and food deals are good for the area and they frequently have special promotions beyond the standard few dollars off wine and beer - they were recently running a drink promotion to support cancer research. The scene is generally upscale and staying late for dinner can be expensive.
