Best Historic Restaurants in North Panhandle / USF

It was 9 of us at the table. The live music was great. The food was excellent, and the waitress was there for our needs. Thanks we all had a wonderful time

Food is consistently amazing. It’s a classic for a reason. It’s loud in there so think about seating as yelling across the table is challenging. The beginning of the meal felt rushed this time but it did not detract from the experience, we just needed to slow ourselves down vs giving in to how quickly the service was moving us.

The worst parts were the best parts and the best parts haven’t caught up to language. At Spruce our tongues taste better than they can speak and are rollicked dumbfounded in joy. The endless train of kind folks that survey this wonderland never failed to show up in education as well as concern and empathy. All in all it was a respite that elevated the human condition with a masterful taste and beauty.

Above all was the service. The food was generally good but not top notch, at least for the weekend brunch. The ambience, although it no longer has the incredible lush palms, the Garden Court once had, still retained an air of grand elegance.

Our Christmas Day Brunch experience was fantastic. I have some food allergies so I had emailed The Post Room Team in advance and received a prompt, reassuring reply from the chef, Jose, who had clearly given my questions thoughtful and thorough consideration. On the day, I received personal service from Jose who was committed to avoiding issues with cross-contamination. All the food we ate was delicious and the dining room team could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. We were so well looked after, it was a faultless festive experience. We only went out for our Christmas meal this year because I had recent hand surgery and can’t cook much. However, our experience at The Post Room was so delightful, I am considering doing it again next year. Thank you to Jose and the whole team.
