We chose to eat here our first night in Panama City (close to our apt.).Tired and travel weary, it was wonderful to sit outside on the very attractive plaza, sip a glass of wine, and enjoy their interesting menu. Even on a Sunday night, it seemed like a happening place. We saw a lot of friends meeting friends and an... More

The place is very simple but really nice. Located in one of the main plazas of casco viejo. The food is really good. Different mixes and tasty plates. The prices are ok, but low portions. Is a perfect place to try good cuisine.

I could dine here, under the stars in little sidewalk tables for the rest of my life. A delicious salmon in thin-sliced cucumbers drove me to try it again. However, the second night there must have been another chef. What was uniquely elegant and refined turned into tuna and chopped pickles. Never mind. The art, the chardonnay and music playing... More

I would definitely recommend this place- skip the other guys on the other side of the plaza if you want a great dinner. (Get fries and sangria over there). At Ajo the pulpo ajillo (garlic squid) was delicious (although 2 more pieces of toast would have been helpful), and the mini prosciutto toasts were yummy- I'd skip the fried ceviche.

We heard this was a great place to eat but found the food to be just OK. It was great being able to sit outside in the square and take in the beautiful sites of Casco Vieja.

Located in Casco Viejo, this is a sleek contemporary tapas restaurant with outdoor seating in Plaza Bolivar across the street. It has a good selection of ceviches, salads, seafood and other entrees and tapas. The arugula salad with figs and camembert cheese and a tasty tuna steak on a bed or tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini were really excellent. I chose... More

Eating outside in the evening was delightful. My meal of fettucine carbonara, however, was bland and the pasta was overcooked and sticky. My spouse's meal was so-so as well. A disappointment.

These folks have everything right. We enjoyed our dinner on the outdoor seating area on the plaza in front of the restaurant. Everything our group of 4 ordered was DELICIOUS! The prices were reasonable. The ceviche and the grilled squid was amazing. The caiparihnas refreshing. Nice wine menu. The service was nothing short of phenomenal, which was refreshing after suffering... More
