We visited Panama City for Carnival week, and went to this restaurant on Friday. Initially we thought this was a typical Panamanian restaurant, but the service was attentive and the waiter knowledgeable and helpful . The food first class. We all agreed it was the most appetizing dinner we had enjoyed during our trip to Panama City. The large portion... More

Fantastic food, modern surrounds, attentive staff and all at a reasonable price, the desserts were all home made and Beautifully presented. Almost michelin star quality. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars for atmosphere is because there was only two other couples when we visited, however I believe this was because it was the day before the carnival... More

We came here following the raving reviews we spotted on TripAdvisor. I must say that the atmosphere was rather pleasant, and they had a wide-ranging array of cocktails that I found adequate but not spectacular. The Caiparihna I ordered tasted like it was made with Rum, which is not a huge deal, but kind of a "no-no" in the world... More

I loved their fish covered in a potato crust, and their Splenda cheese cake. I also like their informal atmosphere. More

Just had dinner at Marina Marina and compared to all other restaurants in Panama City this one has exceptional food. The plantain crusted pork is wonderful as was everything else we tried. Most restaurants in Panama have spotty and inconsistent food but you can see the chef delivers a meal with imagination and gusto. Not to be missed. More

It was good, we had the tacos which were tasty. We went for lunch, it was very quiet and you could here a pin drop in there. Service was average. I'm not sure that we would go out of our way to go again, but based on other good reviews.... I might be swayed. More

Just finished lunch at Marina Marina. While I give credit to the kitchen for tasty and nicely presented meals, the service was bizarre. 2-1/2 hours for one course and a drink, no appetizer, no coffee, no desserts. And the restaurant was empty. Drink orders taken first. But two of the drinks appeared more than one hour later, after a unusually... More

There are many good restaurants in Panama but this one I rate higher than the rest. The food is terrific, the prices are reasonable and that is topped off with friendly service. More

We went with our 2 picky teenagers and everyone really liked it. I had the corvina and it was excellent. Would go back next time in Panama. Actually enjoyed walking into the supermarket next door. More
