| - I work close to Posto, and have been a few times now. Posts is the more casual side of the wonderful Bonterra restaurant located just next door. The decor is warm - lots of woods, and darker but warm colours. Along the one side is a small bar top ( where you can sit and eat as well) and the open kitchen where you can see the team working on the food. Every time I have been in, it has been busy, which brings me to the service.
My first visit, the service was great - and we were even greeted by one of the owners who was super nice and seemed genuinely interested in how we were enjoying our meals. My second visit, the service was quite bad - our waiter never seemed to be around, and seemed to be moving in slow motion- it was frustrating, especially considering it was over the lunch hour. My most recent visit was good - great service, and I was glad I returned, to give it another shot.
So onto the food - as a vegetarian I always am on the lookout for stuff I can enjoy. I had the basic pizza - a great gauge of the quality of the sauce and crust. I have to say, the pizza is wonderful. The sauce is simple yet so fresh and vibrant. The cheese is beautiful too - simple fresh mozzarella. The crust is excellent - Not too thick or thin, just right with a hint of sweetness and great crunch.
On another visit, I had the wilted kale salad, which was great. Walnuts, cranberries, kale and peccorino cheese topped with puffed fallow ( reminiscent of a tiny puffed grain. Although I enjoyed the salad - at 12 bucks for a fairly small ( but beautiful) dish - the pizza is a better value.
Th vibe in posto is bustling and urban- lots of other business folks there, slightly upscale young professionals enjoying good food. Its great to watch the kitchen crew at work , small kitchen but they work together very well pumping out a ton of food in a very small space.
All in all, I like Posto - the service so far has been good with the one exception. I will return.
