Great food in a cozy, contemporary setting. Our party had a combination of breakfast and lunch and both were yummy. The greens that came with my black bean burger were fresh and plentiful.

We had an employee Christmas party there. 16 people in total. 8 of us ordered med, med rare, and rare steaks.They were all overcooked. Mine was literally charred black. I took 2 bites and quit. We brought it to the attention of the waitress, who sent over the manager. He was very apologetic and made no excuses. He stated that it was kitchen error and it would be addressed. He comped all 8 steaks. The waitresses and manager were wonderful. The rest of the people had chicken, scallops, and perch. They all said those dishes were very good.We also had several appetizers that were very tasty.

Great view and the staff was amazing. Brooke was great and very attentive. We had breakfast and the prices were right on point for the quality and portion sizes. The eggnog Crème brûlée was fantastic

This place is probably a fine option if you're staying at the hotel and looking for something close but I would not go out of your way to come here. Food was OK at best and service was terrible.

I heard really good things about their food however I had a salad today which was almost 15 dollars and all it was was eggs and lettuce. then the lettuce was mostly brown. very disappointing for my first time eating there.

Let me start with the good.
Food was delicious, everyone was pleased, no wait to get a table and now I know why.
The bad, the staff.
Not everyone, however they don't seem well organized. We didn't have a dedicated person serving us.
After being sat we waited about 10 min , nobody checked in on us. I had to go ask (maybe the manager ? A female ) if we could get utensils. There was a Latino man who was the one going around asking if anything was needed. Had to ask him to send someone our way so we can order, and to get our check.
Just like the review prior the gentleman with a gray sweater is who actually took out order and seemed bothered to even take our order, he walked away before we could finish ordering and never came back
The wait time to bring food out wasn't that bad
It has potential. The other two who might be managers are very friendly.

We stopped into The Post for breakfast on what had to be one of the busiest Saturdays downtown Madison could possibly have, the Farmers Market, a Badger game, and Ironman all happening at once. The square was packed, but inside The Post there were maybe four tables in the whole large restaurant. Honestly, after our experience, I wasn’t surprised.
The manager (or someone who looked like the manager) was friendly and polite, but our server (bald, wearing a Badger sweatshirt) was one of the rudest servers I’ve ever encountered. He skipped a greeting, let us sit for about 15 minutes before even coming over, and when we finally ordered drinks, his attitude made it seem like we were inconveniencing him. I asked if I could do a build-your-own omelet and he shrugged with, “I guess if we have the stuff.” When I asked about adding bacon, he said “sure” in the rudest tone. A bacon and cheese omelet is hardly a strange request, but the way he acted made me feel like we were asking him to do something far outside his job description.
The food itself was good, and the manager actually dropped it off, but our server never returned to check on us. No butter or jam for our toast, no water refills, no second round of drinks offered. After sitting for 10+ minutes post-meal without anyone coming by, we finally went up to the bar to ask for our check. The manager once again took care of us, while our server sat behind the bar doing nothing.
It’s a shame because The Post is such a cute spot with good food and a great location, but the service we received was truly awful. On a Saturday when downtown was overflowing with people, the restaurant was nearly empty, and after our experience, I understand why.

My favorite and only breakfast spot in DT Madison. These guys understand what the traditional and simple American style breakfast is supposed to be like. If you love the classic 2 egg fare with delicious hasbrowns this is your place. No silly over-complicated home fries with this place!
1. Walked in
2. Had to state that I wanted to eat there
3. Was given a menu, no direction for seating
4. Sat somewhere
5. Got ignored for 10 minutes despite someone else being seated 15ft away and being in view of the staff
I'm good

Food was delicious but it took forever to get the food. Seems like it is under staffed?
Lovely decor and location, but not a good option if you have somewhere to be afterwards.

Decent food, absurdly long wait when not even that busy. Waited more than 10 minutes just to order after getting menus and still no check after a long time too

Food was okay. Service is horrible. Waitress never checked on us. Never received an appetizer we ordered. Asked another employee twice for our check to leave after waiting 20 minutes after eating. Our waitress never came back once.
