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.

LAist

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

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!

Nellie Said

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.

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.

Rachel K

The ricotta stuffed French toast is great and a lot less sweet than you'd think.

LAist

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

Sara L.

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.

Vladimiro Mazzotti

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 ...

Melissa Nash

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

Vania N.

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!

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

Christina Chin

Cute trendy place with open feel. Brunch was great, Benedict and french toast great. Bloody marys ftw

Chrystal Fairbanks

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

Starry Kitchen

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

Garret S.

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

Adrian Phillips

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 .

Jennifer Lee

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!

Superb

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!

Nick Saretzky

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.

Katherine M.

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

Mariefe Ramos

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

You're probably there for a crack at the impossibly rich bacon cheddar biscuits , and we can't say that we blame you. Read more

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.

Popular dining place. Food tends to be very good and service tends to be outstanding.

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

Erika Siqueira de Castro Neves

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

BJ Orbase

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

Connie Chiu

Get the cheddar maple biscuits , fried chicken , maple bacon , and benedicts. That prosciutto and egg ????

H.C. @Foodventure

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

Crowd pleasing inventive dishes. Large menu. Everything was good. Nice boardwalk seating situation

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

Outrageous Chimichanga . Must visit

Chef David LeFevre offers a refined, soulful menu in a relaxed "social house" setting. Generous portions for items like the Fee Fi Fo Fries and Steamed Mussels are great for sharing! Read more

Like everyone else said, get the Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits . Definitely worth the drive from LA for the small plates and cocktails .

Amazing brunch , especially the absolutely amazing sticky buns and chicken and waffles .

The biscuits were unreal, great tapas type options.

Great food and service. We all enjoyed everything: biscuit , broccoli flower, skirt steak , and more.

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.
