    Food was excellent, service was very friendly, cosy ambiance. What we criticized was that the food did not come together, so that the first person already finished with eating while the last one still waited for his food. The glass of wine is very expensive (9,00-11,00 $ for 0,1 l). Nevertheless, I love this place.

    A friend recommended this place to us and it's a super cool speakeasy that is just the right size for an intimate but fun date night. We shared Gyozas, Spring Rolls, and Rock Shrimp. The portion sizes were perfect and each appetizer was amazingly flavorful. We were thrilled with the experience and will definitely be back again!

    Wanted to try a new place in Casco. Who would have thought to combine a beauty shop with a hip asian fusion restaurant? Natalie was a great waitress and everything she recommended was a hit. Can’t wait to go back there the next time I’m in Panamá.

    I was recommended La Barbara by a friend . It’s tucked away in behind the hair salon in Casco. Everything about it was fantastic . Loved the menu and the ambiance . We ordered the tempura rock shrimp , the spicy tuna on crispy rice and seaweed salad . It was all delicious, will definitely go back before we leave . I should add the cocktail selection is extensive and all of the ones we tried were great .

    Probably one of the best restauraunts I've ever been to... The food is delicious, the servers are attentive and charismatic, the ambience is somehow exclusive yet inviting at the same time. I'll be eating dinner here every day for my stay in Panamá.
