    We had to make a concert and we’re worried about being tight on time since it was a busy Saturday night, but the service was prompt! We received our food within 15-20 minutes of ordering and our server Payton was on top of it the whole time with attentiveness! (THANK YOU, PAYTON FOR A PLEASURABLE DINING EXPERIENCE). The food was delicious and the bread was warm and fluffy. The lemon cake was probably my favorite. We will be back next time we’re in the area!

    This was our first visit to The Post Tavern inside the Ada Hotel. I am not easily impressed, but I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The space itself has a lot of natural light shining in, which balances some of the dark, modern interior finishings very well. The service was amazing, and the food was top notch. My partner had the Shepherd’s Pie, and I had the Lobster Mac. Both were delicious and of high quality. The plating of the Shepherd’s Pie was especially beautiful, and I was very pleased with the amount of lobster in the Mac. Highly recommend visiting The Post Tavern!

    What an amazing experience in the igloos outside during winter. They were warm and we could connect to Bluetooth to play our own music. It over looked the Grand River and offered beautiful views. We received VIO treatment the moment we pulled up in our car. Hannah our server was gracious and so kind. She went above and beyond to deliver us a hot chocolate experience for my mother. All of the food and drinks were delicious and warm. We will definitely be coming back here again! I highly recommend this place. ❤️
