Puntarenas - Panama

Oh man, a Peruvian themed restaurant in Panama City. The Jalea Mixta was good, and was served with tartar sauce and huancaína sauce. Customer service was helpful answering questions. Thank you so much Marjorie. Price was moderate. Good for the whole family. I strongly recommend.

Great food and service. I would definitely recommend Puntarenas. Wonderful atmosphere, a place where the whole family can enjoy and feel comfortable.

What a wonderful surprise this was for us. We wanted to try something new and different as so many of our old favorites are now closed. The first decision that a guest has to make is deciding where they want to sit. We were told to sit anywhere we wanted... the main dining area (as you walk in) was very inviting. But we wanted to sit outside. So the hostess escorted us to the interior courtyard. She explained that the room in front of us was holding a special event later that evening. She brought us two menus, one in English and one is Spanish, along with our drinks. As we were sitting there looking at the menus we noticed an upstairs, outside area. We enquired if we could eat up there. She said yes we could and proceeded to assist moving us there. When we reached the area we discovered it was a bar/dining area on a rooftop patio. We enjoyed the fresh evening breeze and watched the lights come on in the city. Dinner was excellent. Due to my diet restrictions I just had roasted chicken and a delicious mixed salad. My wife had the beef tips with pasta. A very large serving that she enjoyed every bite of! Service was very good and the hostess even spoke English. She was an administrative person who was helping out because they were short staffed. We were well taken care of. My wife really enjoyed the mojito drink she ordered. Great food, wonderful service, and Yes we will be back again...

The ceviche and the paella were better than what we've had in most other places and it was a good value for the cost. It is a little bit out of the way, but worth the trip to have dinner here

The first time I went there, everything was fine, food is very good. Second time I went there, I stayed in the front door for 10 minutes, waiting for someone to take me to a table, and then I left, not really sure what hapenned but I felt like I was not welcome to stay at that time.
