We had a great evening at the Post - pre dinner drinks at the bar beforehand - followed by their 3 course set menu; plenty of choice - I had the mussels, followed by the fish of the day , and then a vanilla tart. The restaurant was warm and had a welcoming fire - and the menu offers great... More

Was recently in Havelock North and found this great restaurant "The Post". Paul - who we found out was the owner - seated us and looked after us very well. We had the beautiful scallops as an entree and they were just divine - I had the ravioli as my main and it was so good, cooked perfect and the... More

We went with a group of friends, some from visitors from overseas - a party of nine. Everyone ordered something different and there was good diversity on the menu. The meals were a nice size, not too big nor too small. Prices around about $25-$34 for a main ... I think. I had the Moroccan lamb which had a lovely... More

Friends and family had told me that we must eat at The Post when we visited the Hawkes Bay Region so on my recent visit from Brisbane, I looked it up. From the moment we stepped inside we were not dissappointed. I was greeted by the manager (Paul) and taken to our table. The waitress (I think her name was... More

Often it is hard to find a restaurant that is open on a Monday evening ..... certainly not the case at The Post. On Monday evening of this week the restaurant was buzzing and the staff were friendly, cheerful and super efficient. My sister and I chose the delicious lamb dish as our main and our sister-in-law had the duck.... More

Yet again The Post has delivered. I had the Lamb dish and it was both tender and tasty. My partner had the eye fillet and it was cook to perfection. Wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thanks very much and we will see you again very soon.

We heard The Post had a new menu and were excited to taste it. Arriving for an 8pm booking at 5 past 8, we were taken directly to the table. The owner was in the entrance with another staff member? and they both said good evening. There was no option of a drink at the bar or on the terrace... More
