We ate here last night. We shared an appetizer of Argentinian sausage on tomato bread. It was delicious. For the main course Andrew had Pork Pad Thai - plentiful and tasty. On recommendation of another trip advisor post I had White Asparagus soup. Very glad I followed their recommendation. I had desert of three meringue sampler, it was delicious. We also had a couple of beers. Service was slow, our meal took a couple of hours but we enjoyed the food. It was harder to get the attention of the waiter when we wanted an additional drink otherwise it would have been five stars.

I have no experience with Peruvian food, so I can't comment on authenticity, but I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.The Pisco sour traditional drink was similar to a margarita but quite nice. Steak Machu Picchu was excellent- Very tender steak on bed of cheese based spaghetti topped with 2 langostinos (jumbo shrimp). My daughter was disappointed that there was chicken in the "seafood paella" which she ordered. Menu did not specify this. She does not eat chicken. However, I tasted the chicken that she had picked out and it did taste good.

The restaurant was recommended to me by the hotel I was staying at (Toscana Inn). The restaurant was about 100 metres away from the hotel. The meal I had (surf and turf) was totally amazing. Very fresh, tender and delicious. I didnât realize Peruvian food was so rich with flavour!!!

After visiting many Panama restaurants we came across this restaurant and was surprised at the very large screens. We later returned to have dinner and watch a Seahawks game. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. Donât miss out on the cremeâ caramel dessert (called a flan), you will see it in the photos. It was so yummy! All menu items were displayed in photos so if you donât speak Spanish this is a bonus. Food comes as shown. We ended up going twice as this was our favorite restaurant in all of Panama!

We didnât know where to eat, and asked the concierge at our hotel. He recommended this place without hesitation. He was right. Great atmosphere inside (outside not impressive) wonderful service and the most important thing great food. For 4 people we paid about $130 including wine and tip, not bad.
