Efimero lives up to its name (which translates to "ephemeral" in Spanish) by offering a truly fleeting culinary experience. The ambiance is modern and chic, but also warm and inviting. The staff's attentiveness further elevates the experience. They were knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly and I was able to interact with many of them on my first visit here.
But the true star of the show is the sushi. The freshness was undeniable. Each piece melted in my mouth, a testament to the high-quality ingredients. The chefs clearly take pride in their craft. Whether you're a seasoned sushi aficionado or a curious newcomer, Efimero is a must-try.
Lovely little chic restaurant serving Italian favorites and for some reason sushi too. I suppose some folks like that but to me it makes no sense. While the fish dish Mero A Fagiolio was pretty good the Penne Alla Vodka was meh at best. They only serve two beers here; Michelob and Stella, if you are going to limit the selection maybe at least carry an Italian brand. There was only one choice for glass of wine but it was actually very good. Service was quite attentive and pleasurable but not enough to make up for the high prices and so-so pasta. As mentioned by many the ambiance inside is a feast for the eyes, unfortunately it isn't edible so take that into consideration before you dine.
Overall, Miss Cho exceeded our expectations on every level. Starting when you enter into a modern vibe with a Japanese influence that hints at what is to come. And what is to come is delicious food, and very good service; thank you david. We really enjoyed the spicy tuna roll, noodles, pizzeta, shrimp tempura, and hamachi sashimi. Every dish was fresh, creative and simply delicious. Looking forward to returning again soon.
Loaction and service are top notch. The food is also very good and worthy of a try. We were offered a ride from our hotel to the restaurant but didn't need it, still a very nice touch.
The concept of a food hall with diverse vendors is fantastic, offering a variety of cuisines under one roof. However, Union Food Hall falls short in its execution. Individual management of each eatery is crucial for quality control, it seems this is lacking here.
The result is a mixed bag. The empanadas were a saving grace, but the sushi experience was a major disappointment. Every single roll contained cream cheese, which some may dislike (like myself). Even opting for a custom roll without it revealed the underlying issue: the sushi rice and overall quality were simply subpar.
Always a great combination of service [thanks again Angelo], food [love the carpaccio de res and chianti wings] and ambiance. Go to there, eat, be happy, repeat.
Corcho delivers a vibrant atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and attentive service, making it a standout in Casco Viejo. Wine enthusiasts will be particularly impressed by their extensive selection. However, portions tend to be on the smaller side, so consider starting with an appetizer to fully satisfy your hunger.
The Rana burger is simply the best burger in the city. Simple and elegantly cheesy on a perfectly sized bun. There really isn't a burger in the city that compares to this. The steak fries are also perfectly cooked and abundantly added to your burger plate for a taste you will keep coming back for again and again. My only complaint would be that it could use a tiny bit more ketchup on the side.
The poke bowls here were very good, but the "spicy tuna" wasn't as spicy as I expected. It would have been nice to have a bit more kick. Interestingly, they didn't offer chopsticks, so I had to use a fork for the first time ever eating a poke bowl.
Despite these minor points, the overall experience was positive. The hotel itself is lovely, and this location has the convenient option of ordering from multiple menus. The food, service, and location were all good, and I would definitely return.
A delightful escape to the heart of the Mediterranean awaits at Souvlaki GR in Panama City. This charming restaurant offers a truly immersive Greek experience, from the vibrant atmosphere to the delicious food and friendly service.
