    Great accommodation of a large party. Thank you for having us. All the food was delicious and I’m sure you will have our business in the future.

    A very solid/reliable spot. My fries were fantastic. Sounds basic but a well executed french fry served in the right way is remarkably uncommon. My burger could have use a bit more mass on the patty and less on the bun but was overall good. My date had the scallops and she seemed to quite enjoy them. Cocktails here are solidly above average. We sat away from the bar and enjoyed a pleasant ambience; lively but not loud, so that we were able to have a conversation easily. For whatever accidental reason we just hadn't been there in a while. We'll be back.

    We experienced excellent quality and authentic Italian flavors. The service consistently exceeds expectations, and our server, Steve, was extremely knowledgeable about the wine. We have always enjoyed an excellent meal paired perfectly with the right wine. We highly recommend La Posta for a casual date night, family night, or dinner with friends.

    Delicious and amazing. Jon took great care of us! Excellent recommendations - the scallops and the cheese plate were my favorite! Very cute Christmas decorations and live music which we enjoyed! Great spot for a business meal or a date night! And gorgeous views.

    We loved the way they admitted our dog even at the bar/restaurant. A thousand of thumbs up for that.
