The dark environs make for a perfect date spot just steps from the ocean, while the crave-worthy fare like the cheddar bacon biscuits and green curry mussels convince diners to become regulars. Read more

Ambiance, Service & Food was ALL on point!!! Close to the beach. Staff seemed genuine. Food came out fast, juicy and flavorful! Hints of oak through the dishes. Highly recommend.

It’s been around since 2011 and has developed a reputation around its bacon cheddar biscuits, but the rest of the menu is equally delicious (in particular the corned beef cheek hash). Read more

The biscuits are excellent! I had the chimichanga which was also delicious. The individual tables were all reserved ahead of time, but our party of 3 were seated right away on the shared tables.

Always enjoy dining here whenever I visit. The rooms are newly renovated in a modern arty style and very comfortable. All the staff has been very nice and helpful. We love to come back!

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Bacon cheddar biscuits are 🔥. Also try the milk punch or matcha penicillin drinks. Expect a wait, but you can leave a number and they’ll text you.

Order a 'blister in the sun' @ the bar. It will be a modification of what used to be on the cocktail menu...but it's still delish! Food-wise you can't go wrong with scallops or pork belly...nom nom

Chef David LeFevre's restaurant has the best sticky buns in town, and their bloodies are to die for. Their bacon buttermilk biscuits served with a side of maple butter are worth the drive alone. Read more

The ricotta stuffed French toast is great and a lot less sweet than you'd think.
Sara L.April 10, 2014
Bacon cheddar buttermilk biscuits!!! Slather them w/maple butter and worry about working out later. Judgement-free zone here. Also, get the green beans. Pork jowls and lamb belly are also delicious.

If any chef could be said to be propelling condo prices in the neighborhood, it is David LeFevre, whose Fishing With Dynamite is the superb raw bar this neighborhood has always needed. Read more

Bacon cheddar biscuits are the best thing on the menu!! Vic Vega cocktail is super light and refreshing.

You have to try the honey truffle fried chicken. Be sure to call in advance to see if they're serving this since they only have it available certain times of the day!
Vladimiro MazzottiAugust 19, 2013
Superb experience, lamb and pork outstanding, special mention to the egg raviolo and the cavatelli (perfectly cooked pasta, from Italian point of view). Side mention for the cocktails...
Vania N.February 26, 2019
Don’t miss out on the biscuits with honey butter and the cocktails. I tried the Margarita and the Gimlet, this last one was sweet and delicious!
Adrian PhillipsOctober 16, 2014
Plenty of street parking in the neighborhood. Went without a reservation and got seated at a community table instantly. Probably the best service I've had in recent memory. Try the ricotta.

Cute trendy place with open feel. Brunch was great, Benedict and french toast great. Bloody marys ftw
Nick SaretzkyJanuary 22, 2019
The biscuits are a requirement, as others mentioned. So good. Charcuterie plates are small, so add to you order confident you’ll have room for more.
Garret S.June 14, 2014
Surprisingly good for a beach restaurant. The seasonal dishes are worth trying over the main menu staples. And cause everyone else already said it...the biscuits are ridiculously good
SuperbJune 28, 2012
You have to get the bacon cheddar biscuits, but the problem is that if you go for brunch, you'll also want to try the spiced apple hand pies and the large sticky buns. Too many delicious options!

You MUST get the Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits. One order is 2 biscuits with maple butta. After tasting you don't wanna share.

My friend Daphne says, "My absolute favorite restaurant - the best brunch ever! Must try sticky buns, bacon cheddar biscuits. Be sure to get reservations."

I know EVERYONE+their mother+brother has mentioned the Bacon Cheddar Biscuit but.... FUCKING A' it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!

Get the specials, they are handwritten on the menu and you won't regret them. Unlike your tattoo.

The cocktails are definitely worth a try here; they do seasonal market-fresh spins off classic drinks (e.g. bourbon punch w nectarines, mojitos w kaffir limes, blood & sand w rhubarbs.) Likewise for t

Shout-out to bartenders Sal and Beau. They were awesome - so knowledgeable about all the drinks AND all the food on the menu. Brussel sprouts, flank steak, halibut cheek and bacon cheddar biscuits. AM

Great food and cocktails! Porchetta, shrimp arabbiata, potato crusted trout & grilled skirt streak were all excellent.
Amy LamJune 4, 2013
Like everyone else said, get the Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits. Definitely worth the drive from LA for the small plates and cocktails.

Absolutely to die for and not to be missed. Four words: Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits. Walk-in and have a drink while you wait--fantastic mixers :)

Arrive early for weekend brunch. It ends at 1:30 and though we thought getting there by 1 was good enough - it wasn't. Packed to the brim until close to 2.

I loved this place! Had a hard time to decide what to eat... Everything is so good!!!!!

M.B. Post is a seasonal gastropub of sorts focused on serving small plates which highlight the daily farmers market offerings. [Eater 38 Member]

The Brussels sprouts are amazing. I love Brussels sprouts and these are hands down the best I have ever had.

Really good Moscow mule! It has grapefruit juice in it. Super refreshing.

Broccoflower is not a small plate - enough for three to share- but worth it! Delicious at every bite.
