Beautiful decor, fantastic meal, and service like what you've come to expect in fine dining establishments in the states (no offense to Panamanians, but restaurant service there leaves much to be desired in terms of attentiveness, promptness). The waiter spoke enough English to answer my questions about the menu. We ate in the softly lift courtyard, lulled by the chirping of crickets in a nearby blooming hedge. I started with the ceviche mixto, a blend of calamari, shrimp, corvina and mussels. A touch of fresh red onion and a nice spicy after bite. It was a generous portion, enough for two. Based on a recommendation from other Trip Advisor reviewers, my entree was the corvina in green sauce; a light, creamy sauce with fresh asparagus and peas. The fish was cooked perfectly; flaky and tender. Served with rice and on the side, a tomato slice with fresh lettuce, topped with a garlic vinaigrette. I am a huge fan of Chifa-style food (Peruvian Cantonese), and the chef here is from Peru...thank goodness my companion ordered the Chifa chicken rice. The best I've ever had! Think of Chinese style fried rice, only with huge chunks of roasted chicken, flavored with some amazing green herb (culantro? cilantro?)...I can only guess. Not your mamma's fried rice, I guarantee! If I had more time in Panama, I'd stay an extra day in Penonome just to eat here again. I understand the owners have another restaurant about 20 minutes way that also comes highly recommended by the locals (Mar del Sur, I believe). The entire bill, with one glass of wine, was under 40 dollars US!

The food is outstanding. The service is more than outstanding. As the restaurant filled to capacity, the young gentleman served everyone efficiently with little waiting time. He was mannerly, friendly and most efficient. The food was cooked to perfection. Definitely a repeat visit in order. The restaurant is clean. Music was a little too loud and on request, the server turned the volume down immediately! Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Stopped by when traveling back to Panama City on business. It was lunch time and the restaurant was packed. However, service was not slow and the other customers also seemed to be having a good time.The dishes had good portion/price ratios and had a variety of choices for different tastes.Only drawback was when we asked for the check. Took a long time and we had to get up and walk to the counter to pay.
