The place blows any other PTY dining establishment out of the water (with a few competitors on par). Food's always great, service is always stellar, and people always leave happy. It's my go-to place when guests are in town and for that reason, I gotta hand it to them: La Posta: 4 Stars - Mateo Wed, 22 Aug 2007 06:02:53 +0100 http://www.thepanamareport.com/food/restaurants-formal/la-posta.html#comment-119 Hola Lionel I appreciate your comment. When you talk about a country developing as a tourism destination, I would think you'd talk about improving service and becoming more, for lack of a better term, 'globalized'. Thus not only understanding your clientèle (who will indefinitely be outsiders) but also speaking their language. If you're trying to cater to these people, the industry standard generally requires you to communicate with them, and it's not (although maybe it should be) the responsibility of the tourist. I'm not saying waiters need to be fluent, but think a few words would be nice. Granted, I too have always been the gringo embarrassed by fellow countrymen who are obnoxious enough to make no effort to learn Spanish: it's a two-way street. But I believe it's the responsibility of the establishment first and foremost. Regarding me knowing how they pushed certain items, I speak fluent Spanish and have been to La Posta about 46 or 49 times. It's always the same shtick to the gringo. The one I always remember is that three-tiered seafood platter which has "gringo deal" written all over its pulpo tentacles. - Mateo Thu, 02 Aug 2007 05:27:19 +0100 http://www.thepanamareport.com/food/restaurants-formal/la-posta.html#comment-114 Why should the waiters speak English? And if they don't how did you determine that they were pushing certain items? Go home. - lionel Sun, 29 Jul 2007 20:19:28 +0100
