My fish was dry and my patacones were stale, as if they'd sat out for a few hours before being served. Our waiter wore a mask and rather revoltingly kept snorting back his own mucus. He did not wear gloves so I was very concerned for my family's health. And my 3 year old daughter. I hope we do not get ill from whatever it was he had, as we all know, this spreads by touch and his bare hands were all over the plates, glasses, cutlery. A very poor experience, and expensive. Way too expensive. $5.50 for some water?? pay for your own side dishes? when your piece of dry fish is 25? where are we? switzerland?

Our server, Sinai made our whole dinner experience better by providing exceptional and personalized service that made us feel like welcome guests. She is wonderful. We both ordered the Tasting Menu. At $100 a person, it was an exceptional value. Sinai provided us very intersting and enthusiastic explanations of every course. The venue was casually elegant and upscale. When in Panama City, this is a must-visit restaurant. It should be Michelin rated!

Amazon food, the team was also amazing. We had the devastation menu and was a lovely experience. I just think that the light inside the restaurant in the main room should be a little bit more intimist. It was so bright that we needed to move to another table.
