The terrace at night is pretty nice, city lights and all. Staff was decent, even offered to take our photo without asking. Food came out fine, nothing crazy but solid. I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s a good spot if you&rsquo;re already in the area. Just a bit pricey for what you get, but not a bad pick.

Lunch special hit the spot. Fish tacos were fresh, way better than the other location I tried. Good price for the portion too.

The outdoor terrace really makes this place. I sat outside and had the seafood risotto &mdash; fish tasted properly fresh, not frozen. Drinks list is decent too. Service was a bit slow but I wasn&#39;t in a rush. Would come back for the terrace alone. 🌿

The Caribbean chicken curry with coconut rice was the star&mdash;so flavorful. Truffle langoustine was good too, though the space felt a bit loud. Simond checked on us just enough.

Getting up there is a little weird &mdash; dark alley, concrete maze, then suddenly you&#39;re on a rooftop. Worth the hunt though. The view alone does it. Had a cold beer and just chilled for a bit. Not a fancy spot, but it&#39;s got that raw city vibe. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped by for lunch and the staff really knew their stuff. Asked if they could do the chips gluten-free and they swapped the oil without making a fuss. That&#39;s the kind of attention I appreciate. Food was solid, nothing mind-blowing, but well executed. Place is easy to find too.

The Kobe burger was really good&mdash;tender, juicy, exactly what I needed. Our waiter Michael knew his stuff, pointed me to the right pick. Rooftop DJ was a nice touch too, not too loud, just enough vibe. Only thing, it took a bit to get the check. But honestly, the food made up for it.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the salmon tiradito with yuzu and truffle oil. That sauce was bright, a little rich&mdash;really good. They&rsquo;re careful about gluten-free prep, which I appreciate. Place was quiet around 2pm, so service felt easy. Just wish the portion was a bit bigger for the price.

Tried La Scarpetta for the first time and honestly, the pizza hit the spot. Crust was properly charred, not too thick, and the toppings felt fresh. Place was busy but we got a table quick. Maybe a bit loud inside, but I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m craving that style again.

Solid fusion spot for breakfast. Service was quick, place felt chill. Got the eggs benedict, pretty decent for the price. Nothing crazy but I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The oxtail stew was really good&mdash;meat fell right off the bone. Jerk chicken had a nice kick, not too overpowering. Sat outside, fans kept it cool enough. Service was fine, checked on us just the right amount. Place was busy for a Tuesday night, always a good sign. Would come back for that oxtail again.

The shawarma plate was really good, lots of flavor and plenty of sides. Service was quick too. Comfortable spot for a casual meal in Bocas.

The americano was decent and the cheese empanada surprised me. Ended up staying for the chocolate tasting. Hostess was sweet. Place got a bit loud later but fine for a quick stop.

The black pearl paella was the standout &mdash; genuinely 10/10. Kitchen&#39;s doing great things. Service though? Cold. Server barely said a word until the tip came up. Would&#39;ve loved a wine suggestion to go with it.

Food was solid, no complaints there. Had a nice glass of red with the pasta and it paired well. Service though... they were clearly short-handed, took forever to get the check. Place wasn&#39;t even packed. Just one of those nights I guess. Would come back for the food, just not when I&#39;m in a hurry.

Stopped by for some take-home fish and ended up grabbing sushi too. The salmon was really fresh, better than what I usually find at the supermarket. Wine shelf caught my eye as well. Place gets packed on Saturday though, took a bit to get someone to help me. Still, worth knowing about if you&#39;re in the area.

The bruschetta was solid, and the paella really hit the spot. Sat outside, which was chill. Service was friendly enough, no complaints there. Just wish the paella came out a bit hotter, but honestly I&#39;d go back for that flavor again.

Pulled pork burger was solid, bun held up nice. Place gets busy around 7, had to wait a few minutes for a table. Staff did their job, no complaints. Good for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Food was solid but service dragged. Took forever to get the check. Place was lively though, staff friendly enough. Just wish it was quicker.

The truffle pasta was spot on&mdash;creamy, rich, cooked just right. Portion&rsquo;s kinda small for the price though. Good for a quiet dinner if you don&rsquo;t mind dropping some cash.

Came back here three times while we were in town. Food stayed consistent every single visit, which is honestly what keeps me coming back. Had the same dish twice and it hit the same both times. Service was chill, not hovering over us. Place gets busy around dinner but worth the wait. Solid spot if you&#39;re staying nearby.

Came for breakfast and the burrito was huge. Like, actually huge. Got the ultimate breakfast burrito and it held up till like 3pm. Huevos rancheros looked good too but I was too full to try. Prices are fair for what you get. Just be ready to wait a bit if you go during peak hours.

Came for the jerk wings, left happy. Real heat but you still taste the seasoning. Quick bite at lunch, no waiting around. Solid Caribbean spot in Panama City. Wings were a bit messy but that&#39;s part of it.

Prices are fair for this area, honestly. I&rsquo;ve been here a few times and the service is always polite, nothing fancy but solid. Portions could be a bit bigger for what you pay, but I didn&rsquo;t leave hungry. Good spot if you want a decent meal without breaking the bank.

Came for the steaks and honestly the angus cuts did not disappoint. Got the ribeye, cooked exactly how I asked. Salads were fresher than I expected too, which was a nice surprise. Service was on point, kept checking in without hovering. Place was clean, even the bathroom. Only thing is it got a bit loud later in the evening, but I&#39;d still go back.

The lighting in here is just right&mdash;not too bright, not too dark. Made the whole meal feel more relaxed than I expected. We grabbed a few rolls and a pizza, both were solid. Nothing fancy, but the vibe made it easy to stay a while. Maybe a bit snug if you&#39;re tall, but I didn&#39;t mind it.

Been here a few times now. Banana bread was warm again, just like last time. Carrot cake surprised me too, not something I usually order but it worked. Latte&#39;s consistent, that&#39;s why I keep coming back.

The butter chicken was so good, rich and full of flavor. Just wish rice came with it, kinda had to order extra. Still, perfect spot to hit up with friends. 😊

The portions are generous, and the food is delicious, providing excellent value for money. It&#39;s a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family.
