Unforgettable Birthday Celebration at The Old Post Office We celebrated my wife’s birthday at The Old Post Office in Burlingame last night, and the entire team went above and beyond to make it an truly unforgettable evening. From the moment we walked through the door, every single detail was executed to perfection. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between historic character and modern elegance, creating a warm, vibrant atmosphere. Every dish that came to the table was exceptional—thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and packed with incredible flavor. Beyond the outstanding food and drinks, what made the night truly special was the flawless service. The team treated us like VIPs, ensuring my wife felt genuinely celebrated from start to finish with attentive, warm hospitality. If you are looking for an exceptional dining experience in Burlingame—whether for a special occasion or just a great night out—The Old Post Office delivers on every level.

Fabulous dinner!! The portions served of Halibit and salmon were huge. The quality of cooking the halibit the best ever (every restaurant I know, including my club, over cooks halibit). The salmon was equally good!! All four of us had the two entrees above. Best meals in a long time!! Dan R Francis Woodside, CA

This is truly a neighborhood gem. Food is always good. The Chilean sea bass has been consistently excellent. Our other favorites are short ribs and lamb chops. Consistency is what sets this place head and shoulders above others. Great cocktails and the bartender is very patient. He gladly remake some cocktail twice when we told him they didn’t taste like what he usually makes. Wait staff Ebo and Fegan are always warm and welcoming and helpful. This is a place to which we return again and again.
