Poste Review
Inside the trendy Hotel Monaco, Poste woos diners with a towering skylighted space that until 1901 was the General Post Office. Homing in on Modern American brasserie fare, chef Robert Weland conjures up such satisfying dishes as foie-gras terrine and pan-roasted sirloin with truffled frites, but his crowning glory is the recently launched "20 Bites" tasting menu. In season, panfried softshell crabs are not to be missed. For dessert there's a dream of an apple tart topped with caramel ice cream. In warmer months the neoclassical courtyard is a serene spot for fruit-infused cocktails and brunch, with a well-known build-your-own Bloody Mary bar. Year-round, the lively bar inside attracts scenesters with booths on raised platforms.
