Posh

Posh is a great place to go in Scranton for happy hour, date night, or formal event. Just minutes from the University and foot steps from the cultural center its dinners and drink menu will appeal to the entire family. My last dinner at Posh I had the short rib ragu and it did not disappoint. I would recommend Posh to anyone looking for a romantic dinner or casual night out.

By far the best place to have dinner in Scranton. The place is very nice, the service is good and the food is amazing. Even though the menu changes rarely, I really love everything that is inside it!
The plates are prepared with care from the chef and this place never disappoints our expectations.
I surely recommend it!

I went to Posh for a wedding reception. The venue has nice décor throughout. There are different rooms inside of Posh. We had steak, crab cakes, mashed potatoes, and vegetable for dinner. Everything was cooked well (tasty). Service was attentive during passed appetizers and dinner. Bartenders were friendly but service was very slow at the bar station. Parking was a hassle but decks are located near Posh. Overall, I enjoyed the wedding reception at Posh. Colonnade & Posh has the same owners.

Posh is an awesome restaurant and event space! We eat here at least once a month, and although it’s not the most expensive item on the menu, the French Dip is my favorite! So juicy and delicious! Also– don’t miss the cookie lava cake dessert– it’s awesome. We also love the seafood and the steaks, and the five napkin burger is great, too. We had both our wedding rehearsal and day after wedding brunch here last month, and both the service and the food were fantastic. Everyone is still raving about the food– crab cakes and prime rib! Also– if you like a sweeter cocktail that’s not over the top sweet, try a spring fling– elderflower liquor, sweet and sour, orange vodka, garnished with an orange (squeeze it into the drink to make it perfect). Enjoy! You won’t be disappointed with this place.

Posh has a really nice atmosphere and my family frequents it for brunch (and lunch). If we went to church regularly, it would be a place we would go to after church. Instead, we try our best to blend in with the crowd and pretend we did.
Jokes aside, if Posh was located in a major city and you looked at the pictures beforehand, you’d assume that it cost an arm and a leg to dine there. It really isn’t that expensive, but I always have trouble determining if the food is worth the price. It usually turns into a somewhat existential crisis– how do you calculate fair value of food in a restaurant? It’s a four star restaurant. You don’t feel like you got swindled, but it also might take you a year and a half to write a review on Unilocal

I have yet to have even a mediocre time at Posh and I frequent it quite a bit. I can’t say enough good things. The service, the food, the bar, the décor. all of it great. Very New York City feel. Prices are more than reasonable every time I’ve had dinner there. I’ve attended parties, events, and had birthdays here. I’ve even just gone in for a drink at the bar. Really enjoy the atmosphere here. Also, it’s gay-​friendly. Another huge plus.

One of the nicest joints in Scranton. The building is beautiful. There is a room in the front for a bar with finished wood walls, paintings, and comfortable seating options. Parallel to that room is another fashionable lounge area. The dining area is in the back, with both booth and table options, along with another bar area.
The food is exquisite and the prices are more than reasonable. Diva Theatre has a $ 15 wine and cheese benefit there monthly to bimonthly with entertainment, so keep an eye out for that.
This is also a hot spot for wedding receptions and the like. I believe there is also a hall upstairs, but I’m not positive.
And their Sunday brunch is a must!

I had dinner and drinks last night at Posh at The Scranton Social Club. The food was amazing! The menus was vast but not overwhelming. The food came out perfectly prepared and on time. The staff was attentive and knowledgable about the menu. The specialty drinks at the Oak Lounge were delicious and the atmosphere was lively. I highly recommend having dinner and drinks at Posh at the Scranton Social Club

For Scranton, this is a good/​great restaurant. The Caesar Salad is terrific, with homemade dressing. Don’t miss it.
Good presentation, good atmosphere, and a good meal all around.

Very Nice Diner Location in Scranton. the Duck was delicious and cooked well. Great selection of Cocktails (Moscow Mule Yum) and also a great appetizer menu for lighter fare. More upscale than most Scranton locations but also much nicer atmosphere

Posh is great! The décor is awesome, the curtains and other fabrics feature Scranton buildings! The food was wonderful. When I went, I had a pork and apple butter flatbread for the appetizer. It was very tasty. The chicken sandwich for the entrée was also great! for dessert, the lava cake with a scoop of ice cream tasted like a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie, and there was ice cream! That made it even better.
It is a bit steep in terms of price but I would definitely reccomend Posh!

My visits to Posh since my last review had been limited to cocktails, so I waited until I had an actual meal to update. The cocktails, by the way, tended to be inconsistent during my visits (i.e. proportion of ingredients can vary wildly depending on the night or the bartender).
Lunch at Posh was a quiet and largely underwhelming experience. We chose to sit at the bar and for nearly the entire duration of our visit were the only guests. Service, unlike my last visit, was perfectly fine. Food, also unlike my last visit, disappointingly missed the mark.
Posh offers a $ 9 lunch special that includes a soda/​coffee/​tea and your choice of one menu item (salad + slider, salad + soup, pasta, etc.) but nothing in particular stood out and we skipped it in favor of the regular menu. During lunch, Posh offers their house wines (anything available by the glass) for $ 5. I am overwhelmingly biased toward Marlborough NZ Sauvignon blancs but this Californian was fine and the pour seemed generous for the price.
I chose the «Posh 5 Napkin Burger» which shares its name with a small but wildly popular NYC-​based chain of upscale burger bistros (not sure how Posh gets away with this). While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Posh would be smart to imitate 5 Napkins’ signature burger (caramelized onions, rosemary aioli, gruyère, $ 16.75) and give it an original name.
Instead, they loosely follow 5 Napkins’ standard burger (cheddar, onion, lettuce, tomato, pickles and a predictable burger sauce, $ 14.50). Posh charges $ 12 for their version and while the beef itself was juicy and tasty (ordered medium, got medium+), the rest of it — particularly the stale challah bun it was on — rendered it utterly unimpressive. The hand cut fries were very good, so at least the meat & potatoes were on point.
My companion ordered the cauliflower soup (served in a small crock) and fig + prosciutto salad. I sampled both and thought the soup had good taste and texture, needed a bit more salt and more of the pesto-​like dollop served on top. The salad, unfortunately, was pretty undersized and served cold. Figs are not in season right now so I can only guess that they were prepped and frozen ahead of time. I was impressed with my salad here last time, despite its relative simplicity, because it was served at room temperature. This may seem like a small detail but it’s critical for flavor.
We were both still hungry (especially my companion) and our server managed to sell us on the idea of dessert. We both chose seasonal selections; I had an eggnog cake which was half icing and half cake (fine by me) and my companion ordered the gingerbread roll. The cake in each was fairly stale and not incredibly flavorful. The gingerbread roll was served with some heinous looking thick pink cream that tasted vaguely of strawberry yogurt and did not pair well. I don’t know what they had in mind, but smearing «pink slime» very haphazardly next to what I imagine was a $ 7 or $ 8 slice of stale cake is a really poor showing.
As far as I’m concerned, your best lunches in Scranton will come from Zummo’s in Green Ridge or JJ McNally’s downtown. No, you won’t get the full bar, amazing ambiance or large menu that Posh offers, but you’ll get filling portions of creative food at fair prices.

Service was poor as we had a large group (16 ppl) & they had only one staff member working our table. This waitress worked her tail off & earned her tip but with such a large group, it seemed logical that more than 1 person would attend to us.
We came in on the latter side of the brunch hours, with that 5 people ordered the hamburger… they all had to change their choice because they ran out of patties.
We were seated at 1pm, ordered at approximately 130pm & weren’t served till 230pm, this was with a quiet dining room.
Finally, and this goes more to business priorities as opposed to the work flow issues mentioned above. This meal & our group were there to celebrate our daughters baptism. At multiple points in the meal, the ownership & what I assumed was mgt. passed our table by with out any acknowledgement of the event and with no «thanks for the business.»
Overall a disappointing experience for our party.

If you’re looking for a fancy night out you’re looking in the right place! Walking in the door is overwhelming but once you’re in you’ve become one of them. The drink list is filled with liquors I have never heard of but the staff can usually elaborate. The scallops are the best in town! The staff seems to share the tables and we are always taken care of. This is our go to place to impress our guests.

Came to a wedding here on a Saturday night, the space feels like someone’s house in a good way. We were greeted with a choice of wine, the space has an elevator which makes the venue pretty much wheelchair accessible, the bathrooms were accessible as well.
The food was good, the cake which I think they made at the venue was not great. We had two bartenders for the party, the bartenders didn’t accept tips which I thought was sort of weird.

We were visiting Scranton and Posh was recommended (and a short walk from our B&B). The name is Posh and the food is posh, but frankly, the price was not. I expected it to be much more expensive. The surroundings and service is sophisticated but not off-​putting. Our server was excellent. Each of the five of us had something different and we all enjoyed our choices (including wine and dessert). I had the roasted beet salad which suited me just fine — perfect use of beets, potatoes (yup), arugula, fennel and feta with a perfect dressing. I got a vegetarian pasta which used roasted mashed eggplant as the «dressing» and many fresh vegetables. I loved it! I really recommend this place.

For a up scale restaurant in Scranton, Posh gets it mostly right. Dinner for 4 went off without a hitch. I found the menu a bit plain, selections were limited and nothing jumped off the page at me. I settled with the pork chop and was pleasantly surprised. It was well prepared, not at all dry. Service was adequate, above average for Scranton. Loved the chocolate chip lava cake, though it wasn’t completely warmed up.

Not sure why posh’s rating seems to be so low on here.
I’ve dined here numerous times for brunch, lunch, & dinner. I’ve always had excellent service and delicious food.
Brunch is served with fresh fruit & some sort of scones — all great. I had the French toast and loved it.
Posh offers lunch specials everyday for around 9 dollars. The prices along with the quality of the food make are unheard of– definitely take advantage of this special if you have the opportunity. It’s usually posted on Facebook each day.
For dinner instead of bread you get small soft pretzels sticks that are sooooo good! I’ve had many different entrees but I love the steak medallions served with mashed potatoes– delicious.
And for dessert I recommend the chocolate chip cookie cake with vanilla ice cream so good! My favorite drink is the Blood Orange Martini or the Posh-​tini.
This restaurant is great for downtown Scranton!

No complaints! Great service, chic and sophisticated (but not stuffy) atmosphere, and a great lounge area for cocktails.
Before I went here, I thought it was gonna be outdated and stuck in the 70’s, but it was quite the opposite. Lush carpeting and rich wood in the bar/​lounge area and tasteful, not tacky décor. I never got to see the upstairs where they hold the private parties, but I imagine it would look just as nice.
We ate in the main restaurant and all of us were pleased with the service and the food. For entrees, we ordered the duck, the salmon, and the swordfish (special of the day). The duck and salmon were good according to the others and my swordfish was delicious. Much bigger and meatier than I expected. All three dishes were served with risotto. That was my only complaint. While the texture was spot-​on, it was a little garlicky and salty for my taste. Not enough to completely ruin my dish, however, since I pretty much licked it clean.
We also split a homemade brownie a la mode for dessert and it was delicious and not overly sweet.
The soft pretzel bites in a basket with spicy mustard and some sort of delicious cheese sauce were a nice, refreshing take on the traditional bread basket.
Will definitely visit back here the next time I visit home, even if just for cocktails in the swanky lounge.

beautiful old building. Our meals were delicious. glad to see Scranton has a dining option like this available.
