    A great referral from a chatty Uber driver on a Saturday night. Sometimes you walk into a new place and you just get a great vibe. From the greeting at the door, till the handshake as we left the experience was one of the BEST we have ever encountered over two full lives of international travel. The food was fantastic great yet varied choices, small plates to entrees both hot and cold. But what made the great food taste even better was the amazing “service dance” that we witnessed unfold over 90 mins. From our attentive waitress to the runners and “detail managers” ( the guys in jackets) all the way to the top and the owners(?) who never once turned their backs on their clientele or stopped guiding and supporting their incredible team. In closing, service is all about the details, great service is knowing the details, and attending to them without fuss, fantastic service is about enjoying the process and knowing the success and fulfillment that it brings. Thank you so much EVERYONE for truly the amazing experience that you all provided.

    My boyfriend and I loved our experience here. All of the staff were extremely kind, accommodating, and attentive. We opted for the “Patacones y Camarones” which had vibrant and unique flavors, highly recommend. For our main dishes, we got the lobster Mac and cheese and ribeye which were also to die for. On top of the food, the drinks and atmosphere were very cute and inviting. It is a great spot for date nights, special occasions and must stop spot in casco viejo.

    More of a tourist trap than an authentic Panamanian experience. The music was WAY too LOUD, to the point that it was impossible having a conversation. Average menu and service. Fairly priced.
