Our experience at Post 1917 was incredible. It started with our waiter Louis, who was friendly and well informed about the food and drinks. The drinks were well made. The appetizers we had were wagyu dumplings and lamp chop lollypops. The dumplings were great and the lollypops were the best we've ever had. Our steaks were cooked to perfection with advice from our waiter on the best way to order them. Our sides were au gratin potatoes and street corn. The potatoes were great and the street corn was exceptional. Our waiter Louis was great in offering a wine pairing which turned out to be spot on. His service was top notch.

Had a very nice night out with friends. Food was delicious and drinks were good as well! Great service! Server was very personable and was one of the best sever we have had at a restaurant! Overall great dinner food and service awesome!!

My first experience with New Haven style pizza! Excellent! Nice, friendly service! Great background music too! Happy hour prices and choices are great deal! I’ll go again for sure!

Jackie was the waitstaff anyone would love to have. He was attentive without being a pest, made recommendations for our entrees, brought us a couple ciabatta before our meal. He was simply excellent. We had a flying lemon wedge incident at the table, slipped out of my friend’s hand mid-squeeze, that we had a laugh over. Always eventful lol My friend and I split 12 oysters (buck a shuck night). She had the seafood trio and me the fish and chips. The oysters were amazing, fresh and cold. It’s served with cocktail sauce, horseradish, and an Asian sauce, thin in consistency, which didn’t meet our taste. My entree of fish was delicately fried, not heavily coated, and a thick piece that flaked in all the good ways. My friend’s seafood trio looked delish. I noticed the broccoli was steamed to the right color and crispness. I envied her mashed potatoes but my large helping of fries were great. I couldn’t eat them all. We sat to the right of the bar at a low-top table. There was a lot of activity at the bar with plenty of space between our row of tables and people standing at the bar in a group. We’ve eaten here before so we knew what to expect between 5:30 to 8pm. As we finished our coffee, we could finally hear the restaurant’s music. Highly recommend the Buck-a-Shuck! And if you get Jackie as a server, you’re fortunate!

Food was delicious and served very hot. Friendly service.
