    Outstanding food and service! The place is so beautiful!!!! Everything you order is great! My suggestions try the tuna tacos, the KFC, the octopus is great as well... and as main course try the cochinillo or the white fish of the day!!! Regarding desserts go somewhere else... none of the desserts have been WAO according to me.

    Just look at how beautiful this food is. This place is magical. Everything on the menu was created with imagination and passion. It’s not just beautiful but also delicious. The ambience is also great for dinner parties or dates. One of my favorite spots in Panama.

    Extremely attentive service and wonderfully crafted cocktails and bites. We are visiting Panama for a month and this is exactly the type of experience we were looking for: something elevated, special and unique to anything else we’ve ever tried. we got a truffle mezcal cocktail and sushi rolls unlike anything we have ever tasted before - all delicious!! Absolutely loved this dining experience.

    Gorgeous stunningly beautiful restaurant serving Sushi and steak. We really enjoyed the tuna tacos, The Bao Buns and the ribeye. Service for this English speaking Texan was great. I've now eaten here two times within a week and we'll make it a third here shortly. The food is a flavor explosion in the mouth.

    Just awesome...! A little of Asian food and a touch of our Campiña taste! Amazing atmosphere and service! Reasonable price!

  • 5/5 manuel p. 6 years ago on Google • 66 reviews
    Food is really good, very varied options with an extensive menu that includes different kinds of cuisine. The most interesting part is that there are a lot of plates on smaller portions for you pick a couple or more so to taste different combinations, we tested the white tuna, tuna tacos, sweet sour cauliflower, steak tartar and they were all great but the onion soup dumplings are simply amazing. They offer a big selection of drinks and cocktails too.

  • 5/5 Kim H. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best places to eat in Panama City, Panama. I have followed them in Instagram and I was fascinated by their dishes and presentation. So during my stay in Panama City, I looked them up and I was not disappointed. The service and food are phenomenal, as well as their drinks. I highly recommend this place!

    We called them to reserve a table for two and they said the reservation will be attended by order of arrival. Then we arrived there like 6pm (from a looong way) and it was nearly 100% empty and they said they can not let us in without reservation. Though we said that you are not reserving today, they didnt let us in. Very rude and disorganised people who do not care about the guests at all!!

  • 5/5 Randy A. 2 years ago on Google
    An elegant dining experience, with a wide selection of pan-Asian and fusion delicacies. Currently rated one of the top 10 restaurants on TripAdvisor.

  • 1/5 Mg L. 1 year ago on Google
    DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. Me and my husband had our American Express make a reservation at this restaurant. We were greeted very poorly upon arrival, we were not given a table (they tried to put us at a small table that the seats were wet, another couple told us.) They continued to tell us that this table with wet seats was our table and if we did not sit there then we would not have a table. The manager was very uneducated and absolutely disrespectful to us. We left on a Friday night after having a reservation without eating. Please save you time and go to a nicer restaurant.

    Food: 5 stars Service: 1 star (just because of the waiter who was the only kind soul in the area). Its quiet a disappointment to have a brilliant and delightful experience till the bill comes. Food was amazing (except for the dessert), the DJ who was playing did a great fine job and then the bill came to ruin the night. We got an item in it which was wrongly processed (showed as full rack instead of half) and we kindly ask for it to be amended. To our surprise the supervisor showed up in our table to let us know that there was nothing to do so either we pay or we pay. We explain several times that it was wrong and when we decided to settle the bill by cash without the extra charge mistakenly added, he lost it and throw the bill on the table. The rudeness of the supervisor is something we have never seen before. Brutto is a great place with an amazing cuisine but this particular person might need some extra training about how to treat not only customers but how to treat people.

    My duck was unexpectedly sweet and mostly from the drumstick as opposed to breast meat. Our group needed to have separate checks, it was a discussion. We asked for drinks, some came with our entrees, some at dessert. It's impossible to have a conversation it's so loud.

  • 5/5 Daniela M. 1 year ago on Google

    One of the most consistent in pty with also one of the best quality/price relationship in town. Menu could offer some twist time to time, it is turning quite boring…. Service is inconsistent and it’s time for some furnishing…

Has valet parking (Original) Un lugar para ir en pareja o con amigos, si tienen niños no es muy acto ya que no tienen sillitas de niños, sin embargo hay unos muebles muy comodos, la comida muy rica, ideal para pedir para compartir.

  • 5/5 Ivan L. 4 years ago on Google
    Easily the best restaurant in all of Panama city, prices are reasonable compared to the high quality of food and service. Everything is very unique and very tasty. You soon will begin to feel like you wasted money in any other restaurant when for the same price you can enjoy a meal 10x better in flavor than the average. Try this place before you eat anywhere else.

  • 4/5 Raul Gonzalez R. 3 years ago on Google

    Solid choice for dinner, ordered rock shrimp bun, tuna and the KFC cauliflower. Vibes were great, dj was playing. I thought the tuna lacked some flavor but the texture was wonderful. Service was great, food came out as it was cooked. Prices are somewhat high but i think the space and ambiance makes up for it. Overall great experience. Will return when I’m back in Panama.

  • 3/5 Tsana D. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    So the apps were great (Brussel sprouts, ossobucco dumplings, tofu Greek salad, sushi) but the entrees were rough. The Vongole dish was inedible -so incredibly fishy, it was disgusting that my dad and I couldn’t eat ours. The white fish was good and mild, the short rib was a bit too complex in its flavor, while the schnitzel was decent, but not phenomenal. Stick with the apps. Atmosphere was dark-hard to read the menu, which wasn’t a huge deal, but the music was super loud so we had trouble hearing each other.

👍👍 Great Place as always. New in Panama so be prepared to wait a little for a table for the first few weeks. You can have as much garlic bread as you want and also with some dishes a never ending soup to go with it. Service is first class. Quality, freshness and taste is fantastic. You will enjoy it....

😐 It's a bit weird getting to this place. Atmosphere seems ok, if you like to go to places to have burgers and beer. The price is no cheap. The burger looks small in size, but the meat does make you full after having it. I don't think it is a good place for kids here.
