Even though Post is a new name for most of us, it has been an important part of South Hamilton history since 1924. The historic building at 16 Bay Rd. was home to the South Hamilton Post Office, and a place for residents to send and pick up letters. In response to the Great Depression, and a drop in the postage rate (from three cents to 2 cents), the Postmaster added more opportunities for residents to pick up their mail. At Post, which at the time was known as “the brick block building”, letters were piled on a table, and a bell was rung to let residents know that they could come and retrieve their mail. Keeping with that tradition, guests of Post will have an opportunity to “Ring the Bell”, which signifies that they have bought a beer for our hard working kitchen and waitstaff. Whether you are coming in to dine with family and friends, grabbing a drink and an appetizer, or picking up takeout on the way home, Post is here for you – rain or shine.

    We actually went to Ellis Square two nights in a row and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The first night was to celebrate Valentine’s day and the next night was before a show at The Cabot. All meals were well prepared and the menu had excellent choices.

    The food was perfectly made and delicious. The service was slow and they never came back to ask us if we wanted another drink. We actually asked for the dessert to go because we were on a time crunch and, because the service was slow, weren’t able to sit and enjoy it. The mansion itself was incredibly difficult to find, there are no lights and barely any signs. The mansion itself was pretty. The ambience was nice and the noise level was OK. The price was very expensive but then again it was Valentine’s Day.

    Had a lovely lunch with a friend in a delightful relaxed club like cozy setting. The menu was large and varied enough that we were able to dine on what we truly desired. The wait staff was very accommodating and allowed us all the time we required to decide and chat. I Highly recommend this warm library atmosphere for a casual dining encounter or a business lunch
