Paladar - Panama City

The service was terrible. we gave up, paid for our drinks and went.

My best bar / restaurant in panama. good food, drinks and excellent service. to choose music at a change, inside and outside, they can buy before or after drinking. the shopping center is the best in panama. the restaurant is outside, they have fresh air or air conditioning when they decide in the interior. a diverse menu.

The restaurant had tremendous promise but as we spent more time, things began to unravel. Loud music made it for very unpleasant atmosphere at first but sitting inside helped dimish the impact. The cocktail menu was limited despite of having a full bar, but was pleased with my own concoction..maracuya with cachaça..sort of a capipirinha without the fuzz. The fried ceviche was good and the bread was warm and fresh. The grilled octopus however was dated almost past its servability point. It was smothered with oil and sauce so you could only get a hint of bad seafood smell. I should have trusted my instinct and sent it back. The end result was obvious later that night. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt as the place seemed to be very popular as the spot to be.

Good good and drinks but music is too loud on tuesday

Excellent food but the service is pretty slow. Has a nice night time vybe.
