    Prelude and Post has been a hit or miss for me. My last visit it was very good. I got a seat at the bar and found the service to be so much better than sitting at a table. The beef brisket was good and a satisfying meal for a cold night. So perhaps it depends on what one orders.

    We had a nice comfortable dining experience with excellent, attentive wait staff. The food was good and was well portioned. The restaurant has a nice quiet vibe and, of course is super convenient for attending events nearby.

    Place was not busy. Many empty tables. Very limited menu. Ordered the pork meatballs with pasta. They were overcooked and so dry as to be almost inedible. The shrimp pasta was decent. I will never go back to this restaurant.

    Main dishes were very good. Salads had wilted lettuce in them. Service from Jon was outstanding, professional, courteous, and humorous. Great server.
