Tavern & Table is the dream child of Cecil & Dianne Crowley, Andy Palmer & Jeff Condon. After years of working together on various successful restaurant concepts, they wanted to bring together the very best aspects of fine dining and casual hospitality in a beautiful and comfortable setting. Tavern & Table is more than a restaurant, it was created to be a gathering place where people sit in comfort and share small plates for the table or enjoy a hearty meal. The bartenders know the fine art of cocktail making and their interest in flavor and presentation comes alive in not only in the food but in barrel aged cocktails that are created in-house.

My sister and I had a lovely lunch at Post House. The decor gave a coastal, homey vibe. Our server, Cora, was warm and welcoming. She ensured we had an excellent experience at Post House. The ambience was quiet and intimate and the seating was cozy. After our meal, my sister and I enjoyed walking around the Old Village District. We will definitely be back!
