Had a lovely experience at Posana. Our waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating and especially nice to us on a big event evening. The food. So good. We shared an assortment of small plates including the pear burratta (get the burrata), roasted veggies, grain salad, and cheese biscuits. AND the tahini tiramasu to end on. So delicious. Thanks Posana!

It had been a long time since we’d been able to dine at BB but realized how much we missed it. Cocktails were perfect. Everyone’s meal in the group of 4 enjoyed their meal and we all had coconut cake. We will be back.
