The food is always spot on. Had the salmon most recently. Delicious. Great service. Make a reservation or you will wait. All the starters are amazing. Had calamari this visit. Almost always get the Scotch Eggs. Cream of crab is a great starter too.

One of the best restaurants in York County. Period. If you don't like First Post, then you don't like good food. The atmosphere is great, but like many places, the service is sometimes "hit-or-miss". The Craft cocktails are almost always excellent. The first post punch is always great.

Man what a great place! We went for lunch and the experience was wonderful. Took a seat at the bar and ordered a mixed drink for my lady, and a beer for myself. The menu was full of things we wanted to try. We settled on the seared tuna for an appetizer. Perfect sear, tender tuna, nice flavor with the cilantro and pepper. For the entree we had the fish and chips which came with slaw, and the shrimp , scallop Florentine which came with a Caesar salad. Both entree's were fabulous. Billy our tender was prompt and courteous. After the meal my lady had a coffee. Good coffee. The restaurant was filled with beautiful people! The restroom was clean and convenient. So glad to have found this gem in York.

First time visiting this restaurant. We came with friends who had been there before. Food: my wife and I both got the crab soup which, by itself, is 5 stars. Very creamy, not thick or pasty like typical cream soup base soups. I got the NY strip steak, something I rarely do, but took a chance. Ordered it very, very, rare and it came cooked a little more than I would have liked, but still in the neighborhood of rare. It was very good, the spinach and fingerling potatoes were top notch. My wife got the fish and chips. French fries, not chips, were acceptable but not exceptional. The fish was firm but a bit dry. You can almost see that in the picture. Another in our party got a mushroom ravioli dish which was phenomenal...I tasted it. My friend got the short rib which he said was wonderful but I did not try it. Service: this was lacking. Our server was just fine but I suspect slowed significantly by the kitchen. Our appetizers came staggered...it should not have taken 20 minutes to get soup.(The restaurant was not slammed) She came to the table at one point and apologetically told us the soup would be ready soon. I saw several orders of oysters delivered to other tables but did not see them on the menu anywhere. The two issues that reduced the rating from 5 to 4 stars was the service speed and the dry fish. I would certainly go there again. The prices were appropriate.

What is on the brunch menu and what is the cost?

They have a delicious egg and bacon sandwich on a croissant, not even remotely greasy. They also have omelettes, crab eggs benedict. The portions are large and the home fries are the best. Cost is about $8 on average.
