On the first floor, a 25-seat bar area is adjacent to a four-sided fireplace, an 82-seat dining room, and a semiprivate room that can host 35 for cocktails. A wrought iron staircases leads to the second level, where the 214-seat main dining room has an exhibition kitchen, wine displays, and another fireplace. Upstairs also offers two private dining options: the 16-seat Goddard Room has sliding glass doors that provide a view of the kitchen, while the 40-seat Franklin Room features a homey atmosphere with wood paneling and a fireplace, as well as a projector and large screen that can be used for meetings.
Post 390 is a beer-focused venue with 12 brews on tap and another 30 in bottles; there's also a 200-bottle wine list and classic cocktails. Lengthy lunch, brunch, and dinner menus feature upscale takes on American classics, like Kobe beef hot dogs and bacon-beer macaroni and cheese with a shallot crust.
