Had our anniversary dinner at Grapes tonight (first time there). They had free valet parking (absolutely necessary in Casco Antiguo). The restaurant dacor was very inviting and the service was excellent. I had a blue cheese salad (excellent) and curried chicken. The curried chicken was like chicken nuggets in a bowl. Next to that was a bowl of rice and... More

Good food and good times! Enjoyed the clams for appetizer and the seafood rice was awesome! I just wished we had more time on our visit to eat there again

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the staff is friendly. The food could be improved, it was not gourmet fare. A nice place to go if you are in "Casco Viejo" but if you have a choice go to Panama City and will find wonderful restaurants at the same price.

This is definitely an upscale atmosphere with a coved wooden ceiling and an interesting menu and good wine list. The Staff was attentive and professional. I had grilled octopus which was delicious and I would order it again in a minute. It was a great place for our last dinner in Panama. Entrees come with nothing extra so it is... More

We dined here on a recent business trip. The food was superb and we were glad we had an early reservation because it filled up quickly after 8:00. The restaurant is quaint and we were serenaded by a live jazz band, which was nice, but with the full restaurant, it added to the difficulty in carrying a conversation. Definitely worth... More

Book a table, don't be disappointed..... Since opening, I think I have eaten here 4 times.... Each time, completely different. The menu has changed slightly, and too some of the cuts of meat, particularly the lamb.... The lamb is for sure one of the best plates on the menu, assuming you like it, of course..... The appetizers are fantastic, you... More

We showed up and did not have reservations. They at first told us we could only eat at the bar, but we told we were not interested. They accomodated us with a table. The service was good. The food was excellent. con: construction going on front street, so there is no outdoor seating.

Great restaurant in the heart of Casco Viejo. We went with another couple and the restaurant was the highlight of all of our meals here in Panama. The Lamb portion was huge and the rib eye was great as well. Pork back ribs were just ok, I would have liked less sauce. At about 8.30 keyboard and trumpet music was... More
