Before opening Post 1917 in the spring of 2024, Carron spent years as a consultant, helping struggling restaurants regain their footing. Now, he brings that same commitment to his own restaurant, blending classic flavors with a modern, ingredient-driven approach.
At Post 1917, the focus is on locally sourced, high-quality ingredients. The menu is a thoughtful mix of steakhouse classics and refined comfort food. With a special focus on USDA Prime steaks and fresh produce, every dish reflects Carron’s belief that great food starts with the best ingredients.
“At Post 1917, we stay true to our farm-to-table approach and prioritize sourcing local ingredients to ensure the highest quality ingredients go into every meal we serve," Carron said when asked how he would like to influence others. "If I could inspire a movement, it would be for more chefs and restaurants to prioritize sourcing ingredients from local farms because it helps our environment, strengthens communities, and creates a healthier future for all."
Since opening, Post 1917 has quickly gained a reputation for excellence. The menu features premium steaks, fresh seafood, and fine-dining takes on Italian favorites like Chicken Parm and Cacio e Pepe. The bar also stands out, offering craft cocktails that put a creative spin on classic drinks.
Beyond the food, hospitality is at the core of the restaurant. Carron and his team aim to create an atmosphere where every guest feels welcome, whether they’re enjoying a quiet dinner or celebrating a special occasion.
While the restaurant is already a favorite among locals, Carron has hinted at expansion plans. Though details remain under wraps, the goal is to bring Post 1917’s farm-to-table philosophy to even more communities.
