    Nous y étions pour notre 30ieme anniversaire de mariage et aussi car les rooftop sont à faire à Panama city. Quelle déception! Malgré un serveur très gentil, le service était extrêmement lent. Nous avons commandé deux entrées et deux cocktails. Nous avons voulu commandé une bouteille de vin pour aller avec nos entrées mais elle n’est jamais arrivée! Nous avions même commandé une entrée supplémentaire. Nous avons arrêter de manger pour attendre le vin mais avons finalement décidé de canceller le vin et l’entrée. Nous avons bu l’eau restante de nos cocktail (glace fondue) en guise de breuvage Le serveur s’est excusé. Je ne crois pas que c’était de sa faute. En conclusion, le tantalo n’est pas le rooftop à faire!! Très peu de table (malgré la grandeur et les possibilités ) donc atmosphère correcte sans plus. Le positif; la musique était bonne et la vue incroyable!!

    Ate on rooftop. Shortly after arriving an extremely drunk couple sat beside us and began to smoke. I asked to be moved elsewhere but the only other open tables were VIP. I asked if public smoking was allowed which I know it IS NOT in Panama was told that they PREFER people not to but there was nothing they could do. Besides that food was great and service was good despite their unwillingness to ask people to obey the actual law.

    It was our last dinner in Panama City after seven nights and by far the best meal, service and atmosphere of our trip.

    We originally made reservations for the rooftop, but upon further review of limited menu decided to dine in restaurant. The live music was great and a nice added touch to the experience. All of the food was outstanding including entrees and dessert. The only hitch ( which was due to the rainy night and super busy restaurant) was that our service was slower than we expected ( they were very cognizant of it and apologized when one diner received their entree and the other three were still waiting). However, once the food came out everyone loved it and appreciated acknowledgement from management that it was not up to their high standard. We were provided a complimentary dessert and promise of better service should we decide to return. We do recommend this restaurant for the food, ambiance and live music and plan to return on future visits for cocktails on the rooftop.

    Good service although right next to us were two long tables that held about 20 young adults each who were having a rowdy time. The food was fine -- I had a grilled white fish that was prepared well and tasty.

    The food was delicious, and special requests were honored with a smile. I will definitely return, as well as recommend Tantalo.
