Beautiful ambience with amazingly attentive staff. Loved the live music and traditional dancing on Thursday nights.

My second time at this restaurant. Absolutely marvelous! A modern take on Panamanian cuisine... Everything is delicious--the creativity and attention to details is quite evident. The restaurant staff is attentive and very friendly. A 'must go' for anyone visiting Panama City!

What a great hidden gem just off the tourist beat. It sits right on the fringe and is amazing. Great service, all dressed immaculately and attentive. Food is really tasty and well balanced.

Great atmosphere! Great customer service and the food was beyond exceptional !! Local taste, fresh ceviche, the empanadas, the ribeye, and cocktails were so good we went again the next day for a burger and fries. Definitely recommend. Prices were decent for the food quality, atmosphere, and live music all weekend.
