   I’m genuinely disappointed with our experience at Panorama, and unfortunately, this will be our last visit. To be fair, the food was good, the wine was excellent, and our server John was fantastic—he truly did his part. But overall, the evening fell flat in ways that are hard to overlook. The dessert was underwhelming—“pistachio cheesecake” apparently just means cheesecake with some crushed pistachios tossed on top? That felt lazy, especially coming from a restaurant that markets itself as elevated and refined. But the real letdown was how the restaurant handled our special occasion. I reached out through the OpenTable app in advance to let them know how important this dinner was, even asked if anything could be done to make it more memorable—flowers, rose petals, chocolates, something small. I followed up with the host, and while we were wished a happy anniversary and complimentary bubbly (a nice touch, sure), that was the extent of it. Nothing more, no gesture to indicate that message was actually read or considered. If the “Message the Restaurant” feature isn’t meant to be taken seriously, I’d suggest removing it—or at the very least, not setting expectations you don’t intend to meet. Really disappointed, especially because this could’ve been so much more.

   We celebrated two birthdays before a show at the Arden at an early dinner at Panorama. Every staff member was welcoming and professional. Our server, John, was engaging, efficient, and so helpful. We enjoyed our wine flights, and our food was delicious: bruschetta, calamari, braciole, veal pizzaiola, and orecchiette. The tomato ragu was out of this world! Shared desserts were also also great. 10 out of 10 for Panorama!

   This was the second time eating at this restaurant. We’re from out of state visiting and made it a point to return. It did not disappoint. The food is exceptional, the service is amazing and the overall atmosphere is enjoyable. Everything we ate was so good, and I can’t want to come back!

   Came for a birthday celebration with family and enjoyed everything. I believe our server was Nick . We were given homemade focaccia bread and olive oil which was great. I ordered the lobster ravioli, asparagus and the scallops appetizer. The scallops had a lot of flavor and paired well with the house bread. Ravioli had a good amount of lobster meat, presented differently than expected and needed just a pinch of salt but still appetizing. The asparagus came with shallots and lemon and were cooked perfectly. I tried a new German riesling and fell in love. My second drink was an elderflower spritz that was refreshing with a bit of sweetness and plenty of mint. Dessert options were ok. I looked forward to the flavors from the Franklin Fountain but there weren't many. I chose coffee ice cream and it was brought out with a candle. We were given complimentary champagne for a birthday toast which was a nice gesture from the server. Place is intimate but still has decent space between tables. Manager stopped by to check in on our experience and upsell another round of drinks. Server was fine and as the only server working did his best to tend to everyone. Prices weren't bad, nice place for a special occasion. I'd return again.

   All the food was delicious but I think they had the best lobster bisque that I've ever eaten.

   It is always a treat to have dinner at Panorama. It is quiet, and the decor is very simple. the tables are not too close together, so getting in and out of you seat is easy. The menu is pretty simple, veal, chicken, fish and of course pasta. For an appetizer enjoyed the Bruschetta which includes 3 different types, tomato and onion, parsnip & Gaeta olives, and cannellini beans with whipped burrata. My favorite entree is the braciola, which is a rolled veal skirt steak, prosciutto, beef and San Marzano tomato ragu, which also comes with Ricotta gnocchi. The second entree was the fish of the day, perfectly cooked pan seared filet of salmon served with braised beets and sliced fennel. Both entrees were delicious. and the service was excellent. We weren't rushed and had amble time to enjoy our cocktails. They also have a very extensive array of wines to offer, probably on of the best in the city. It was truly a fine dining experience.
