Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Manhattan Beach Post delights with its "amazing food" and "excellent service," making it a must-visit spot for special occasions and brunch. The shared plates, especially the biscuits and scallops, are crowd favorites. While the vibrant atmosphere adds to the charm, it can get "very loud," challenging conversation.

    Food was very good. Recipes were unusual and interesting- the opposite of bland. We really enjoyed it! My only complaint would be that the jidori chicken was a little on the drier side. We had the green beans, the mushroom toast, the steak, the white large shrimp. All these were very flavorful. The apple tartine for dessert was well made but way too sweet for my taste. If the sweetness of the tart and the accompanying ice cream was taken down a few notches, I would have loved it. Service was medium. The restaurant was busy. We sat in the room which had the plant wall which was pretty. Noise level was fine where we were. We could hear the music from the main room where the bar was, but still have a conversation. So important! Overall, I’d definitely eat there again.

    The table next to us had children banging spoons into their glasses. They were unsettled and vocal throughout the meal. It was a festive atmosphere, but it was difficult to focus on my husband's conversation with the banging from the next table. The food was delicious. The service was great. My husband enjoyed his cocktail. Making our reservation was easy. The Christmas carolers were a nice touch for the holidays.

    The food was great, service was excellent. We were the last seating of the night, and our food was more like room temperature than warm/hot.

    Despite making a reservation and receiving a text that a table was ready upon arrival, we still waited for a table for a while. Our server was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. It's been a very long time since I've been to MB Post and I have to say that I am very disappointed with the menu. This is not the tapas style restaurant it used to be. However, the portions are like tapas. I was surprised to see such small portions and felt embarrassed that I had to order something else. The worst part- The Bolognese was supposed to have seafood, but there was no seafood to be found and the "spicy" margarita.qas just a regular margarita My group left disappointed and hungry. We went to another restaurant after MB Post. I don't think we'll going back.

    My friend choose this place for his birthday dinner and I hadn’t been here for well over five years. In the past, I have not found many good options other than biscuits and I try to lay low on the carbs so that isn’t really a great option. We shared the brussels sprouts and fries. While I thought the brussels sprouts were just OK the fries were phenomenal! And yes, I do know that fries are carbs. I ordered the Crudo for my entrée since I wasn’t very hungry and the server said it was more like a starter, even though the price was the same as the entrées. For dessert, we ordered the Elvis and it was to die for. It was disappointing though that they did not comp it even though I had put on my reservation that it was a birthday dinner and I also told our server that as well. Kind of cincy in my opinion.

    They were out of several dishes and one came cold, but the service was wonderful and made up for it. It may have just been an off-day
