I consider this up market trattoria-style Italian restaurant to be appropriate for a special occasion, so I went recently to celebrate an anniversary with my partner.
POST is located in the exclusive Treasury Buildings in central Perth, a fairly exclusive address - here a steak main course costs $74, while most of the pasta dishes are around $40 and oysters are $5 each.
My partner’s pasta dish was very heavy on the salt, while my Swimmer-crab risotto, at $36, was creamy and tasty but had rather too much sameness about it by the time I was half-way through eating it. Our wine was $20 and $17 each glass. The desserts were a generous serve of tiramisu and the lemon and pistachio semi-fredo - these were the tastiest course for us both.
Our waiter was excellent and knowledgeable, dishes were brought to our table in good time and were well presented, though not extraordinary. Overall we both felt that POST, whilst providing a pleasant enough dining experience, is over-priced and under-whelming; relying too much on a menu that has barely changed since our previous visit two years ago, and a reputation that seems to be parcelled up with the address.
