Overall very good experience, I had advised through the reservation process and chat with the restaurant that it was a special occasion for my wife’s birthday and also advised one of the servers. They were supposed to put a candle on the desert which they didn’t do, no mention whatsoever. The food was very good but could have been warmer and the wine we had selected was not available. We selected that restaurant as it was part of the world 50 best restaurants based on theworlds50best.com so we expected a bit more overall than what we got. A mention for the fresh strawberry and cream desert it was excellent.

great place where the food is the star. Service is excellent with very professional people, and very friendly. Price is very good considering the level of the food and service provided. Ambiance is a little spartan, could be a bit better, but it has its own parking lot. All in all a great experience and great value

Highly overrated food and the worst service in Panama City for such an expensive restaurant. The ambience is fun but there are much better options throughout the city (Popino, Fondo Lo Que Hay, Kaandela). No smiles or help from the servers or front of house. Can’t believe this place was in the Top 50 in Latin America.
