    We had someone at our table who didn’t eat shellfish, beef or pork so the options are limited. The menu in general is limited with only one salad, no fish and the wines by the bottle were pricey. The service was excellent but the restaurant was very noisy and hard to carry on a conversation. The food however was excellent.

    Have been here often over the years. The food seemed salty and salad was soaked in dressing. It must have been an off night. The server seemed overwhelmed and we didn’t see much of her.

    Thanksgiving is usually chaotic for restaurants and MB Post was no exception. The service was good considering the situation, but the food was certainly worth it. The holiday menu was perfect! Traditional turkey of you wanted it or two other options.

    We have dined often at MB Post and always enjoy it. This year we decided to have our Thanksgiving meal at the and were not disappointed. The food was delicious as always, thoughtfully prepared and nicely portioned. Our server Janet, was delightful. Overall the vibe was relaxed and fun - perfect for what can be a stressful holiday.

    The restaurant was very nice but the music was way too loud like almost nightclub levels. We had trouble hearing what our server was saying. We first asked if it could be turned down because we were celebrating a special birthday and were told that the owner liked it that loud. We ordered and told the server that the music was too loud and she agreed. She did something because the volume was turned down soon after. We had heard amazing things about the menu but found it limited. The bacon, cheddar, buttermilk biscuit appetizers were amazing! The southern fried chicken was very good! The pecan, bacon slaw was very good also! The pork "porterhouse" chop was a great cut of meat but the peach, kimchi, black mustard sauce was way too strong and very overpowering and the chop was floating in it. It may have tasted good drizzled over the top but not the way it was presented.

    I do love bringing people new or visiting LA to the Manhattan Beach Post. The drinks and appetizers / small plates are our favorite though, so personally I would recommend this restaurant for happy hour or light dinner options. The main entrees tend to have heavier flavors and are more designed for sharing rather than having your own entree to yourself. Also note that it does get quite loud - after 6:30/7, our dinner party was practically shouting to hear one another over the music and other guests.

    ALL food (even green beans) was way over salted. Brought out of town guests, was hoping they wouldn’t notice but even they commented. My advice, ease up on the salt!!!

    This restaurant has a seasonal menu so you have to ensure that you and your date like what they have before you go. Don’t trust the Yelp menu. Even if you have reservations like I did, make sure they don’t seat you next to the kitchen. Tiny tables. Super noisy place too. I couldn’t hear conversations.

    MB Post has been one of our “go to” restaurants, but it had been a while since we were last there. Our dinner last night was stellar all around - from the excellent waitstaff to each and every plate ordered (mains were scallops and short ribs). Icing on the cake was we arrived early in the evening and the music was thankfully not blaring, making for a wonderful dinner!
