    Had a great time. We sat upstairs where the jazz band was playing which made it hard to have dinner conversation, but I thought it was great. We ordered the prawns, NY steak, and lamb chops - everything was great. The only 👎🏼 about the food was my family felt there could have been more accompaniments for the baked potato other than sour cream and butter (from the bread). Really happy we found this place and spent our time there!

    We often eat here for pre-theatre. When we are short of time, the bar offers an excellent happy hour menu and usually with very prompt service. This time we relaxed and has a meal in the dining room. Good selection and eats. Service was timely and good.

    Our Christmas Day Brunch experience was fantastic. I have some food allergies so I had emailed The Post Room Team in advance and received a prompt, reassuring reply from the chef, Jose, who had clearly given my questions thoughtful and thorough consideration. On the day, I received personal service from Jose who was committed to avoiding issues with cross-contamination. All the food we ate was delicious and the dining room team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We were so well looked after, it was a faultless festive experience. We only went out for our Christmas meal this year because I had recent hand surgery and can’t cook much. However, our experience at The Post Room was so delightful, I am considering doing it again next year. Thank you to Jose and the whole team.
