First:
Mangle
has
the
best
Old
Fashioned
cocktail
in
Panama.
It
is
textbook
perfect,
tho
I
would
love
a
cherry
in
it.
But
otherwise
it’s
what
I’ve
been
looking
for.
Oh
and
it’s
$6
at
Happy
Hour
(which
right
now
runs
from
12pm
to
7pm).
Second:
The
restaurant
has
the
kind
of
ambiance
that
I
thought
I
would
have
to
give
up
when
I
left
the
US.
Nope.
Mangle
has
it.
Appropriate
lighting,
interesting
decor,
chic
bathroom
design,
even
the
Edison
bulbs.
I’m
not
a
hipster
but
sometimes
I
just
need
my
bougie
places.
This
one
ticks
that
box
without
going
overboard.
It’s
the
place
you
want
to
go
for
a
few
drinks
and
a
conversation.
Third:
The
service
is
tight.
Water
gets
refilled.
Empty
dishes
are
taken
away
promptly.
Orders
are
taken
accurately
the
first
time.
The
food
and
drinks
come
out
in
an
appropriate
amount
of
time.
I’ve
been
here
4
times
now
at
4
different
times
of
the
day
and
the
service
was
good
every
one
of
those
times.
Finally:
While
Mangle
feels
more
bar
than
restaurant,
the
food
is
not
an
afterthought.
The
menu
is
limited
but
tasty.
You
can
absolutely
come
here
to
just
have
a
meal
and
be
satisfied.
It’s
not
cheap,
but
the
value
is
high
for
your
money.
The
meat,
the
greens,
the
bread,
they
are
all
of
high
quality
and
the
plating
is
top
notch.
