Great food and drinks with a nice atmosphere. The staff is always amazing, too. I haven't been in the mornings to check out the coffee and pastries yet, but I'm sure they're amazing!

Recommended by a friend and didn’t disappoint. Excellent craft cocktails, friendly service, yummy food, what more could I ask for? Shout out to bartender Josh who made my visit fun. Loved the Patatas Bravas and the Mushroom Risotto

We were in town for just one night and were looking for a place to eat nearby and we picked this place based on Yelp ratings. What a find! Everything was excellent. We ordered patatas bravas, roasted Brussels sprouts, mushroom risotto, and angel wings and we would order it all again if we had a chance. Wonderful craft cocktails as well.

Deliciousness. Post 70 is back as a mainstay for me. Everything was so tasty, hot and fresh. Timing was perfect for 3 sides and 3 mains. I will repeat lamb chops and Brussels often. Super service and friendly, kind comments from several people. Our server directed us toward wonderful choices and created a cocktail from years back. Thank you Post 70! It's wonderful to reconnect.

Boom. Bam. Ahhh. This is flat iron steak, Brussels and frites at Post 70 near the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance of east Asheville. I used to come here when it was only Filo Bakery. I guess the last time I was here over seven years ago. The bakery was superb. The additions to a full service restaurant is beyond perfect. Now for taste. The steak was really smooth with a nice crust with Coarse salt and a dollop of tomato jam. The Brussels are possibly baked as they have the burnt exterior. But then they are tossed in tomato jam. The frites/fries are thin perfectly cooked. The tomato jam is nice and different. I learned, from the more than gracious bartender/waitress, that the ingredients include allspice, garlic, clove and of course tomato. It is light, fresh and not overly sweet. But I want to be clear that this is an elevated and sophisticated condiment. It is Not ketchup. This is a wonderful spot. I highly recommend. Drinks. Dinner. Dessert. All homemade. All worth your time.

Hands down best restaurant in Asheville. Hidden gem with the BEST menu. We always ordered patatas bravas & lobster risotto - incredible flavors and nice portions. Josh (the bartender/server/mastermind behind the drink menu) is top of the line! Always friendly and helpful with ordering. WE LOVE IT HERE

If you haven't been here yet you NEED to go! This is some of the best food I've had in Asheville! We came in on a Friday and somehow got lucky enough to be seated outside. Everything was mind blowingly good from our potato starter to my steak and my friends - melt in your mouth tender- braised short ribs (yes I ate off here plate) Service was also top notch, friendly, and very attentive. We can't wait to go back!

Traveling and trying to find a good dinner. This wasn't it. It is a coffee bar with a bar, that wants to be a restaurant at night. Maybe if you are a local you can figure it out. No dress code, anything goes. We had reservations for 7:30 on a Wednesday. They were sold out of half of the menu, even the salad; but there was only one other table there while we were there? The food is considered tapas style even when it isn't, so your meals will not come out at the same time. The flatbread was very good. My medium rare filet was med well, with a delicious sauce of some kind; BUT it was laying in a heavily sauced mustard based (think SC bbq) potato salad which did not compliment the sauce at all. I ate NONE of it! My husband who will eat anything didn't like the potato salad. Oh well, we didn't have dessert, it did look good. Update: we returned here for a drink at the bar and a flatbread and was very good. You just have to be ready for a very relaxed atmosphere!

While the food and service was prompt, This may have been the slowest meal I've eaten. I did t want it to end. Dear god ! The braised short rib. I can not adequately describe the perfection of the preparation. Moist and as tender a baby's ear lobe. It has a firm bark that cut easily and held the balance sauce. The sweet potato purée was coated with blueberry gastrique, jus , with cremini mushrooms and broccolini The drinks were excellent and rose To the level of the food. The best date I've ever taken myself on.

Excellent cocktails, excellent small plate dishes and beyond excellent service. Josh and Adrianna take excellent care of their customers, and they are so personable!! Highly recommend!!!
We were two people having dinner together. One ordered braised short ribs and the other lobster risotto. The short ribs were done in a timely fashion and 15 minutes later came the risotto. I was completely finished when my friend just started her dinner. The statement was made that the short ribs cook faster. It would have been very easy to start the ribs later to have them come out at the same time as the risotto. Poor planning for sure.

The menu is varied, eclectic, and original. And the food is really delicious. Servings are a nice size, and we can get excellent food for a decent price (or spend a lot, which we do, too, sometimes : ) Great atmosphere and service, as well...

A tour guide recommended this bar/cafe and it was the best experience! Josh, our bartender and host, was amazing to us and made the entire experience at Post 70 extremely enjoyable. He curates new cocktails every 6-8 weeks, so if you enjoy tasting new drinks and want something you have probably never had before, this is the place to go! We decided to stay for dinner and had the best meal. We ordered hummus and baba ganoush plate, and the lamb chop. Everything melted in our mouth including the sides that came with the dishes! We ended our meal with probably some of the best carrot cake we have ever had. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to try new dishes and drinks in the Asheville area!

What an amazing meal. The bartender,oh my word, he should be in the bartender hall of fame. He read my mind when I said I wanted the graveyard drink...Corpse Reviver. My husband asked for a spicy Margarita...BOOM...he made it happen. We started our meal with Labneh, Baba Ghanoush, and Hummus plate. For our second cocktail we let the bartender create.... my husband received another margarita with just a bit of a different profile and I got Graveyard Flowers... a corpse Reviver with Lavender syrup, very yummy. Second course was Short Ribs and Pan Seared Lamb rack. Words cannot adequately describe how succulent and deLicious. We ended the night with Irish coffee and dessert. What an indulgent selection. I had raspberry creme brûlée, husband had a chocolate mouse cake. This is all wrapped up,in a cozy setting that lends itself to indulging, relaxing and lingering.

What a gem! Last night we had the best experience. It was our first night and we had heard about the awesome food and cocktails coming out of this historic renovated prison/ veteran post/ Bakery. Chef Kit masterfully our together some great menu items. We tried 3 of the Tapas Items. We started with a grilled Romain lettuce topped with a chick pea tahini vinaigrette light and delicious plus it's a nice vegan option. We also had a French bread topped 12 hr marinated skirt steak cooked to perfection topped with aioli and a beautifully done chimichurri. Thud was so tasty and cooked to perfection. What a beautiful bite of perfection. After that it was on to the scallop mushroom risotto. Perfectly cooked scallops on a saffron rice risotto with chopped up mushrooms. Delicious! We also got the lobster Mac and cheese. This dish comes with a whole lobster tail, macaroni surrounded by 4 cheeses and topped with bread crumbs. We couldn't stop eating it. Each bite was magical. Probably the best Mac and cheese I've ever ate. They have an amazing bar and bartender to compliment all of this we had a couple cocktails. I high recommend the old fashioned. They also have some great seasonal drinks on their menu. Craft beers galore. What a treat to come here. Thank you post 70 and thank you Chef Kit Downey.
