I liked La Posta a lot, but not enough to give it 5 stars. The food is excellently prepared, of sufficient portion to satisfy, and the setting is just informal enough to make everyone comfortable. More

I love love loved this place. The atmosphere was very Panama, almost Cuban feeling. I felt like I was in someone's house eating. You can get dressed up or you can go more casually, but dressy is better. They had this Lobster Pot Pie on the menu that was to die for. HUGE chunks of lobster, no skimping here. Their... More

We had dinner at La Posta one night. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has excellent service. On the advice of friends we had short ribs - they were the best meal I had on this trip. Prices are American level prices, but the food is worth it. More

La Posta is a must-visit restaurant every time we are in Panama. It is my husband's favorite restaurant in Panama City. Do make reservations as it must be the favorite of many others as well. The sea bass is made in parchment with white wine and vegetables. Delicious! This visit the filet mignon was no longer on the menu which... More
