THE POST ROOM

This lounge restaurant was renamed to The Post Room recently from its former Beacon Lounge. The food is great but seems a little pricy for what you get. The service is however excellent, and service fee is included in the bill. The whole place has a classic antique look and feel to it. It's a quiet escape from the busy Powell Street that is easily accessible for classy and elegant dining experience.

It's difficult to find a restaurant that opens between lunch and dinner in San Francisco. But I am so glad The Post Room takes our dinner order at 3: 45 PM even though the kitchen reopens at 4 PM. （Just in case you wonder, we are on a diet that we tried to eat dinner before 4 pm ) to stay healthier.
I love the restaurant vibe and decor, It's inside the previous Sir Francis Drake hotel ( now Beacon).
Love the cocktail (just got back from London and realized Londoners don't know how to make good tequila base cocktails) , so a very simple Paloma makes me feel super satisfied.
Service Fee already included, and we love all the staff very much.
I enjoy spending my early dinner here very much, hope I could come back for the Starlight show some day.
By the way, I am local, and one of my favorite things is to explore all the hotel bars, because they have the best decor and the bar always open.

Lovely surprise! You never know what to expect from a hotel lobby bar but this place really delivered on flavours. The cucumber and prosciutto salad was magic on a plate. We paired it with ahi tuna and prosciutto flatbread, both of which were excellent. Service the couple of times we went was inconsistent but still worth checking out. Be sure to head to the rooftop bar (Starlight Room) for cocktails afterward. Fabulous up there.
