Even though Post is a new name for most of us, it has been an important part of South Hamilton history since 1924. The historic building at 16 Bay Rd. was home to the South Hamilton Post Office, and a place for residents to send and pick up letters. In response to the Great Depression, and a drop in the postage rate (from three cents to 2 cents), the Postmaster added more opportunities for residents to pick up their mail. At Post, which at the time was known as “the brick block building”, letters were piled on a table, and a bell was rung to let residents know that they could come and retrieve their mail. Keeping with that tradition, guests of Post will have an opportunity to “Ring the Bell”, which signifies that they have bought a beer for our hard working kitchen and waitstaff. Whether you are coming in to dine with family and friends, grabbing a drink and an appetizer, or picking up takeout on the way home, Post is here for you – rain or shine.

    Great place! A bit unfortunate when a person in my party ordered the Cabrese Pizza that clearly says basil oil and it came out with pesto. When the server was told that the person who ordered it can't do pine nuts and the fact that the menu stated basil oil not pesto all they came back with was it's not made with pine nuts... They did not offer to rectify or take away the entree. We had to request to have it removed which they did in the end.

    Food was excellent. We tried Thai calamari, shrimp tacos, cider glazed chicken thighs, and fried ice cream. Everything was very fresh and tasted great. We had heard good things about this place from a family member and were glad we tried it. Will definitely be back.

    Our family of nine spent Easter afternoon at Elia’s. The food and service were outstanding. As to the food, between appetizers, main course and dessert we probably had most of the items on the menu. All were fresh and delicious and prepared to everyone’s liking. I have celiac and there was no problem in finding healthy choices for me. The wait staff were attentive and gracious. We all had a wonderful dinning experience.
