A restored 1941 post office at 220 Park Road in Burlingame has reopened as a 90-seat fine-dining restaurant built around one dramatic centerpiece: a tableside duck service for two that costs $80 and is capped at just six orders a night. The Old Post Office, from Bacchus Management Group, serves the dry-aged bird in four tableside rounds, and it has quickly become the dish diners are talking about.
According to almanacnews.com, the restaurant occupies a historic Art Deco-style former post office and seats 90 guests in its main dining room. The duck itself is dipped in a maltose solution and dry-aged for 10 days before cooking, the outlet reports, and the kitchen uses a custom oven in which six ducks hang from hooks and rotate vertically at once. The $40-per-person supplement serves two people and includes the bird’s breast, a liver mousse, grilled legs and a bone broth, carved and plated right at the table. Eater San Francisco reported that the full duck service is one of four preparations built into the presentation.
A Historic Building With a Complicated Past
The restaurant is the latest project from Bacchus Management Group, the hospitality company behind The Village Pub and Selby’s, per the Almanac’s reporting. The Almanac identifies Tim Stannard as Bacchus’s owner and reports that a friend urged him to see the building in 2022. Executive chef Jonathan Granada, who joined Bacchus in 2025 and previously worked at Otium in Los Angeles alongside a former French Laundry chef, leads the kitchen; he described the menu as contemporary American, with sfist.com adding that it carries nods to Asia, Spain and France.
What’s On the Menu Beyond the Duck
Dinner is built around a three-course prix fixe priced at $120, almanacnews.com reports, alongside a la carte options. SFist mentions a burger and fries, a New York steak and lobster among the offerings. A classic cocktail menu and the Postmaster’s Bar round out the a la carte offerings, per the same outlet’s account…
