a great find off the beaten path. when you walk inside a new restaurant for the firsttimeyou immediately get a sense of how the experience will turn out when you see a clean waiting area, massve fish tank, and vibrant bar scene.
we were quickly seated and within a few seconds our waitress stopped by to welcome us and take our drink order.
we ordered the grilled salmon (x2) and the pan seared u-10 diver scallops. the salmon came with multiple starch choices and haricot vert. the scallops were placed atop risotto and garlicky fresh wilted spinach.
our salads arrived and were a hit. i ordered the greek (add'l $3) and it was nearly the size of a serving bowl. you definitely can split this into two salads.
the waitress also brought a basket of fresh warm bread. one had 3 herbs from their on-site herb garden. the other was simply a crusty loaf of white bread. both were very good.
our entrees were served hot and the presentatin was fantastic. the constant chatter was "umm, this is really good, or wow, the fish is cooked perfectly and grilled just right. we each took home a to-go box as the portions are too big to finish at one sitting.
a definite must to put on your list of restaurants when coming to panama city. not a tourist trap and certainly a local's hang-out...
