Great foods. Took awhile for the foods to come out but worth the wait. Weird thing was when we ordered for the check with the tips included the lady said the tips cannot be included when paid with credit cards but only cash.
My favorite place for breakfast, get some natural jelly from the house, meals are special, take and enjoy it with the natural beverages from the season!
Beautiful historic style hotel. Grounds are photographic, rooms clean, daily breakfast, cozy fireplace common area. Only complaint was staff was vacuuming dining area at 10 pm. Had to ask them to stop as we were heading to bed early after long day.
Take out the human element (indifferent hostess & inattentive waiter) and this restaurant would get 4 stars. Superb food in serene setting tastefully decorated for Christmas though more flair could be added to presentation of main courses. We heard about chef Charlie Collins from Panamanian host at Dubai Expo 2020 who raved about the restaurant, so we booked online upon arrival in Boquete. When we approached the hostess stand @7pm, our names did not appear despite receiving an email confirmation. The hostess pointed lazily in the direction of the somewhat empty dining room not attempting to seat us. The situation did not improve with the advent of our waiter who avoided direct eye contact & mumbled softly behind his COVID mask. Requests for drinks or bread were laborious. We felt like intruders instead of guests. The main courses of broiled trout & jumbo shrimp were excellently prepared though blandly presented. The chocolate cake with ice cream was beautiful as well as moist and creamy. The finale to our evening almost ended disastrously except for the hotel receptionist who secured us a taxi. This occurred after our disappointing waiter indicated he’d called one 20 minutes earlier. Overall, the anticipated culmination of our time in Boquete with a wonderful dining experience left a bittersweet taste in our mouths.
A beautiful restaurant with exceptional customer service. Appetizers and dessert were amazing, but i order a Filet on medium rare term and they brought me a rare steak. I ask the waitress to kindly cook it a little longer and then it arrived well done. It's an amazing place i just think that they were lacking a little on that...
