    Amazing, everything was awesome, except one desert was too experimental and saltiness overpowered sweetness

    Los meseros que nos atendieron estaban tensos, hablaban entre ellos, en voz alta, sobre el acomodo de las mesas, sobre quien llegó, quien pidió algún plato y era incómodo estar escuchando su "organización" mientras tras disfrutábamos de la comida, que valga decir, estuvo realmente deliciosa. Mi sugerencia sería que sean más cuidadosos con su comunicación, que les pongan un nombre agradable a las mesas para que amenos no se trate de números a la gente, quizás algo que las identifique con Panamá.

    This place is beautiful, and I loved sitting in the outdoor patio! My server was Eric and he was wonderfully patient with me as I chatted with him so much about the food and drinks. The ceviche del dia was outstanding! The house made bread was divine with the completely unique savory hibiscus butter! The stracciatella ice cream was made with chocolate made with Panamanian cacao! And it was the best stracciatella ice cream ever! The mixed herbal tea was fantastic too! It was a mix of mint, lemongrass, rose, petals, and hibiscus. Service was outstanding overall, and the ingredients are truly farm to table. I highly recommend this place and thank my friend, the Panamanian chef from New Orleans, for recommending it to me.

    El mejor restaurante al que he ido! Cada momento y platillo valió la experiencia! Me atendió Francisco en el salón principal, muy atento, amable y siempre listo para ayudar! Las entradas y platos principales espectaculares! Sabrosos, con buena proporción, y visualmente exquisitos! Un puntito menos por lo tardado de la comida!
