That is one of the great things about the web--opinions can be shared by all nationalities, religions, cultures, age groups, etc. We are free to listen to and accept/reject other points of view, regardless of where the ideas are generated.

However, I don't think it is necessary to tag our posts with our nationality.
My post was incorrect...............I agree with your second paragraph.

And I agree with your first sentence. I don't understand what adding one's nationality to the post does to enhance the discussion. That is why I asked if being an American (and I'm not sure if this meant North American, Central American, or South American) gave someone any more legitimacy in posting than someone who was not an "American."

I like Bonifay for lunch - also agree dinner is good at Cane Garden - Have eaten 3 times at Havana; not going back there - Mallory is OK- Having dinner tonight at Palmer so hope it's good -When all else fails there's always home cooking -

They haven't had good help in the 2 1/2 years that I've been here. It's not a seasonal issue. I heard that about a year ago, Mallory fired some of their people for stealing and Havana promptly hired them. I hope they improve because I like the location and facility, but not holding my breath.

As of last week, Havana has an entirely new menu with a new chef. Lots of the new items are Cuban based.

Poor Havana. Over 8,000 views and 70 posts.
Always wonder why the parking lot is so full?

I agree. However there was a big change and turnover in June. I had a better experience late June and they said they were going to change their menu. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm willing to give them another chance.

That's my standard response when it comes to the Restaurant forum...lower your expectations before you go in and you will never be disappointed
