    The pimento cheese dip was SUPER spicy but was not labeled as such on the menu—we could not eat the dip at all because it was so hot and they had no substitute, but we were charged the full price for the food anyway. They should have provided an alternative dip or not charged for the dish at all. We paid $14 for only carrots, celery and a few chips.

    I loved this restaurant, they had a small menu but very good stuff and so convenient to go before a show, but I was really disappointed today. The truffle fries that were the key draw for me have been replaced with parmesan fries, which were so salty I could not eat them. My stomach was very unhappy with the whole meal. They also took away the fried goat cheese that was amazing. I ordered the chicken milanese, the plate could have fed two but I found it uninspired and just something I could have gotten somewhere else better for less. Overall a disappointment with the new changes

    The portion sizes are pretty small, for the price.

    Even though the reservation was made several weeks ago, we were seated at the worst table in the restaurant. Our server Becca was poor. She ignored us while focusing on other tables. Our starter food was delivered to two other tables before the person realized her error. When we mentioned it, she said the other tables already had their food. In appropriate response #1. We waited over 45 minutes for our entree. When mentioned to Becca, she said there was a hold up in the kitchen even though several tables that arrived after us had been served their food. When the same person who seated us, delivered our entree, we asked why it had taken so long. He said he had checked the ticket, and the order had only been placed 15 minutes ago. Why would he check the ticket if there was not a problem. No apologies, just arrogance and rudeness. Post and Prelude have a captive location in the Denver Arts Complex, so they do not care about service or quality. Centerplate, the operator of the DAC venues should consider other venders. The restaurant is a blight on the complex.

    The food as always was very good. We are enjoying some of the new menu items. The service is always good but last night it was exceptional. Thank you. It makes a great start to an evening at the theater.

    Great place to eat if you're attending something at the Denver Center or in the neighborhood. Hours focus on being open around major shows at DCPA. Rebecca was our server today and she was stellar. Helpful, attentive, friendly...
