    Today was my second visit to this wonderful restaurant. My first was three days prior. Great food and service, even the parking attendant was friendly and welcoming. I’m from Illinois; if I ever make it back to Panamá City, this will be my first stop. Thank you, Isaac!

    Menu is great. Clean place. Service was poor. Wouldn't come back. The menu price for ceviche was $12, but our receipt listed $15? We asked 5 tines for a check..ignored few times.

    Food was great, our waiter very patient with our lack of expertise in Spanish and so helpful with food recommendations. The owner stopped by to check everything was ok and welcome us to his restaurant. Definitely worth a visit.

    We had a really nice dinner at this bustling bistro. We ate outside on a lovely warm evening, the lighting is terrific, which was a most pleasant experience. Our waiter was a lot of fun, very enthusiastic, attentive to detail. We had the Jerk Chicken and the Chicken wings, respectively, both very tasty, the chicken moist and tender in both cases. Be forewarned though, that their amazing looking burger, was sold out by the time we got there! I suggest getting there early if you fancy that. But that was a small price to pay for a very fine night out. We will be definitely going back to snag that burger at some point during our trip.
