   Sat in front of chef window so witnessed all the food coming out. A salad was sent to a table of 20+ guests that was sent back and sat under the heat lamp for 50+ mins. I ordered the pork shank and when our food finally came out, they served that wilted salad as my “mixed vegetable” side. I was so digested and shocked considering we were right in front of the window where food comes out. We also saw our appetizer sit under the heat lamp for almost 15 mins before it was served to us. The service wasn’t good.

   The dishes on the limited menu are excellent. Each member of our party of 4 enjoyed their meal. Our server was very good but over occupied with other tables due to staffing. The noise level in the dining area was extremely loud. Dining in the bar was much more relaxed but they only have booths for two.

   The guys were really trying to do the great service and food. But actually nothing special. The only thing is a nice cheerful atmosphere and very friendly staff

   Although the menu is quite innovative and the food good, our service at Kaandela was nothing short of terrible. My main course arrived 20 minutes after my wife’s, which by that time was cold. Our dessert never did arrive. After many requests the bill was eventually presented. This was the worst experience we experienced during our visit to Panama City.

   Dear Doug, we are truly heartbroken to hear about your experience at Kaandela. What you described is far from the standards we uphold and the experience we are committed to delivering to every guest. We deeply regret the delays and service lapses you encountered, and we sincerely apologize for falling short of your expectations. While we understand that the discount we applied to your bill cannot make up for your experience, it was meant as a small token of our appreciation for your visit and our regret for the situation.

   True moments of spectaculars however, a couple of missed opportunities. The pork was very dry. One of four patacones was cold . the cocktails were delicious. Dessert was outstanding and the pork belly was terrific. It took way too long to settle. The bill. service was at best questionable Unfortunate because the potential is truly there.
