Post 154 Set to Open Next Month

Post 154, the new restaurant in Westport’s former main post office at 154 Post Road East, is set to open in August, according to Alex Rosado, executive chef and managing director. The restaurant will seat 268, including the main level, lower level and patio and employ a staff of about 40-50, he said. Rosado, who describes the cuisine as “world class creative, in an upscale, high end, yet comfortable, fun setting,” is the former executive chef at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in the Florida Keys, ranked No. 3 in the country by Zagat and No. 1 in Florida for hotel restaurants. He is also listed as executive chef at Valley Stables Food & Drink in Oakland, N.J., owned by Joe and Melissa Kelly, the owners of Post 154.  Rosado, who recently moved to Norwalk, said Post 154 will be open seven days a week but will serve dinner only at the start.
