Brought la esposa here for our last night in Casco. I’d heard great things and this lived up to all expectations. The food and service were exceptional and when the live music started it was the cherry on the cake. As someone with an angelic voice myself i can appreciate good music and even though the crooner wasn’t quite as good as me it was still a great vibe. Highly recommend!

Excellent Panamanian food. We recommend the carne en palito yeye and the strawberries and cream dessert. Service 10/10. They have live music from Thursday to Sunday. On Thursday they have a Panamanian show.
