Manabi - Panama

Great restaurant small but cozy kitchen with good view service traditional dishes revisited and explained. Good wine cellar. I recommend booking for time

We visited Christmas day for the lunch buffet. I hear that the Sunday brunch is perfect! However, the lunch buffet was just okay. There were several salads available, four desserts, a made to order pasta station, and a turkey carving station. There were a few entree options that included a creamed peppercorn chicken breast, arroz con quandules, baked salmon, steamed veggies...all of which were just average (and dry--maybe because it was sitting there since the place was bare). I didn't go back for any seconds, nothing warranted that. It cost $84 for the three of us (non-alcoholic beverages included).. Otherwise, the wait staff and mangers were very attentive. Service was superb. The restaurant is chic and modern. The valet service was slow.

This was truly one of my best brunch experiences ever! And definitely my best restaurant experience in Panama! Select of food and food quality was amazing. Sushi, ceviche, omelettes, meats, desserts, and even Chinese food! Just amazing! And service was truly above anything I've experienced in Panama and in line with other top restaurants in world class cities. Highly recommend a visit here during your stay. Book in advance and you get a discount as well!

Good food horrible service. I felt that I had to beg for service meaning to just order something.

Excellent attention accompanied by a very beautiful view of the city and very delicious food which pleases any taste I would go back without thinking twice
