   Exceptional dining. Could benefit from improved espresso quality; otherwise, first class.

   This was our fourth visit to Kaandela, one of our favotite restaurants for special occasions, but this was our most disappointing visit. The service was very fiendly throughout, but we went long periods of time without check-in visits, were unable to get more than one drink, and there were several problems with our meal. It was as if they forgot we were there for long periods of the evening. After waiting almost 40 minutes, all of our main plates suddenly arrived at the same time. Our appetizer was delivered after the main dishes were finished. On top of that, the food quality was not as good as the previous, exceptional, vists. The pork shank was dry and rubbery (not crispy) and the fish dish was very salty and full of bones. We live in Panama City, and will probably give Kaandela one more chance in the hope this was just an "off night," but we left feeling disappointed after this special anniversary dinner.

   After getting the suggestion from my sister, I booked immediately for my friends and I. I wanted somewhere nice to celebrate my birthday and Kaandela did not disappoint! All of the staff were very attentive to our table and Luis made sure our meals were to our liking. Unfortunately, I could finish my octopus and corn because I wasn't expecting such a huge portion so, to the chef, it was AMAZING and I really wanted to eat it all but I was so full already from the pork lollipops! Excellent food, excellent service, excellent staff 🖤 From my friends and I, Thank you.

   The food was outstanding but service was so poor I would never go back. I found a white hair in my food and didn’t even receive an apology. I was told no one has white hair so it was probably mine, I don’t have white hair. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant unless they get better service.
