Maito

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to come back to this restaurant, however I'm happy to say that it is still most excellent! I can see that the problem with this review will be how can I not keep repeating the word "excellent" all of the time! I think my reason for visiting less frequently is that I would reserve this place for special occasions, to keep it 'special'. Portions are correctly sized for fine dining and very well presented. We were a big group and the wait staff looked after us very well indeed with no problems at all. The cocktails we had were amazing. The house special Mojito is good for those with a sweet tooth and one of the finest I've tried. I had the "Refresa" which was lemon and pineapple infused with a lot of alcohol...more bitter, with a touch of sweetness and enough to make it very refreshing...and keep me from driving home after 4 of them. Starters were "Dos Mares"...wonderful fish carpaccio with some fried fish in the middle and drizzles of sticky sweet loveliness around...and I had patacones/shrimp balls with tomato salsa and a herb green creamy salsa....wish I'd had the "Aji Chombo" spicy tuna...that looked amazing! Next we both had risotto. Black ink with squid...and I had "Colon Risotto" with calamari, shrimp and octopus in coconut milk. Mine was excellent (...sorry) but the black ink one was outstanding! We finished off with tiramisu (small criticism...slightly hard biscuit that had not fully absorbed the alcohol...). Overall, this restaurant deserves ALL of the high praise and accolades it receives...Mr.Owner you have created one of the very best...the chef is also a keeper...thanks.

Yes...the food really is that good here! This is a place where you will find exceptionally creative and well put together ingredients. It's expensive...but overall well worth it for the culinary experience. The setting is also very well executed...lighting, decor etc...overall very well done and a pleasure to dine here.

Es un restaurante que cada vez que uno lo prueba sorprende, es uno de los mayores exponentes de la comida panameña moderna, muy recomendado

La mejor elección que pudimos haber hecho para nuestra cena de aniversario de bodas. Unos platos muy refinados y deliciosos. Me sorprendió mucho el calamar relleno, pues aunque el color negro del risotto parece extraño, es exquisito. Los postres fue algo a otro nivel. Ahí recomiendo el pie de limón. Excelente restaurante.

Los platos que degustamos en esta oportunidad fueron el Guachito de Mariscos y la Pesca del Día, este último con sabores más intensos que el primero. La cereza sobre el pastel la puso el postre. La torrejita de maíz presentada en una deconstrucción de sabores donde resaltaba la deliciosa salsa de ají chombo (nada picante).
