The menu will be served after 5 pm daily in the Poste Garden. At the new Chefs table, Rob offers his weekly Market Menu in conjunction with the Penn Quarter FreshFarm market. Each Thursday, chef offers a limited group the opportunity to explore the market, meet the farmers, select ingredients and then return to the restaurant to enjoy a freshly prepared 4-course meal paired with biodynamic wines. Of course, enjoy the Garden menu with a glass of Postes great selection of red, white or rose wine, premium beer or one of award-winning mixologist Rico Wisners creative seasonal cocktails.
