    We had an amazing meal that was totally unexpected. The last time we visited this restaurant was about five years ago. The food was good back then but not memorable. This time things were much different. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection. The mussels were top quality and the coconut green curry sauce was great. The New Zealand lamb chops with their home made hummus and cucumber stole the show. It's safe to say that we will be returning in the near future for sure.

    Saturday night? I get it. Music is loud and energizing ;) but it is a shame that with good quality of food and decor the service is mediocre (our appetizers came before the drinks) and the bathrooms were overflowing with trash and dirty. That’s a big turn off! It used to be much better :/

    Menu is creative, food very well prepared. We had beet salad, scallops, duck prosciutto, scallop ceviche, spaghetti with pork, green beans. All were excellent. Service (Eddie) was wonderful and attentive. Noise level still too loud but they turned down the music at our request. A memorable experience.

    We went to MB Post for my wife's bday. They were 15-20 min late seating us for our reservation b/c they were very busy. However, Jason the Manager went above and beyond to make it upto us. He checked on us several times and made excellent dinner recommendations. The food was delicious (spicy beets, shishito peppers, pesto pasta, & of course their wold class buttermilk biscuits w/bacon for my daughter) they brought us a free dessert for my wife's bday that was delicious. Incredibly classy move when they dont put it on the bill just to credit it back. Quite honestly, this was the best service I have experienced since moving to the South Bay 2 years ago from Chicago. They are the model for how restaurants should provide service. The ambiance, food, and once again service was outstanding. We intend to go back many times. Thank you Jason and Samantha for a wonderful evening...Ro & Nila.

    MBPost has been remodeled since we last visited and it has a great ambience and more space. The food is phenomenal as usual - we had the grilled naan, green beans, grilled steak, french fries, a gnocchi with duck confit, and warm toffee cake with ice cream for dessert. All delicious. Will be back.

    Fantastic all around!!! Saturday early bird dinner, my daughter and I got our usuals: Bacon Cheddar Biscuits, Endive Radicchio Salad, Hamachi Crudo, Seared Diver Scallops, Southern Fried Chicken with a side of the “brick” Scalloped Potatoes, and Pumpkin Cheesecake and SticybTofrr Puddibg. Still kind of sad that potato salad is no longer offered with the yardbird but the “brick” could easily serve four and was an absolutely cheesy and crispy delight. Hats off to the MB Post “back da house” gang because every dish was a slam dunk home run!!! And that Toffee Pudding, well the dessert chef deserves a pay raise!! All washed down with my fav local Hefeweizen brewed by Two Coast down the road in Gardena, also served next floor at FwD!! Dude server Tony the “Postman” has paid his debt to society and performed in an outstanding manner, namely he brought my beers right away!!! So even on a dark, cold, windy night by the beach, you can’t go wrong seeking shelter at MB Post to enjoy their warm hospitality and delicious, comforting dishes!!

    A birthday celebration for my husband’s 60th. We sat at the high tables Of course, you start with the biscuit and you must have the cinnamon bun. Ordering bloody Mary’s and a side order of bacon! That was just the beginning! If you’ve never been there, please give it a try. It is spectacular.

    Second time ay MBP; food was outstanding. Every item we ordered was excellent. However, service was stand offish. Extremely low engagement from server. Unfortunately, poor service overshadowed the excellent food.

    MBPost offers a delightful dining experience from beginning to end. The service is warm and authentic and highly skilled, and the food--sharable and "something for everyone" is delicious. The bar was kind enough to mix me a custom "mock"tail to meet my dietary restriction, and perfectly complement my meal. The space is warm, welcoming and cozy. I'll be back! And highly recommend MB Post.

    It's a louder atmosphere with different music including hip hop blaring. It's a fun atmosphere if you're in the mood for that type of vibe. But if it's for Valentine's I do not think it was the greatest. Food was mediocre.

    This was my go to brunch spot in MB and honestly the food was uninspired this time. I ordered the potatoes and hash..potatoes were hard with an oil sheen, I had three pieces of corned beef and the egg was runny. I should have sent it back.

    Food is good. Definitely a creative effort, and attention to a careful mix of flavors. The lamb could have been better cooked (nobody asked us how we liked it by the way). The loud background music (some rap as I recall) is totally uncalled for in a restaurant trying to be fancy. Why the need for background music at all? A bit of silence would be appreciated. More light to have a better look at your food would also be great. But then again, all those are common to most US restaurants unfortunately.
