This restaurant is one of the best in PAnama and rates at the top of my list which covers major cities in approximately 31 different countries I have visited - the reasons are very simply - The Service is excellent - very professional, attentive and friendly with a large contingent being non - Panamanian as you would expect - once when I talked to President Martinelli it was his opinion that Panamanians did not excel in the hospitality service industry. And he was right! The Ambience I love the relaxed style of the restaurant and the variations in the forms of accommodation. You feel great when you enter all the way to when you collect your car to leave. When will they finish the hanging garden, it's not quite done yet. Cocktails are great sitting at the bar tidying up your mails before your guests arrive, late as usual! The Food it's the best - fresh - hot or cold - the innovativeness of the 40 + small entrada dishes never allows you to move onto the main dishes - to eat with friends to each order and share three smalll dishes gives you a meal fit for royalty - the variation in flavours and style of the dishes is unparalleled and my hat goes off to the Chef.. Part of the greatness of Brutto gives one drawback - sometimes it's hard to get a table - but the waiting has it's just rewards - a superb restaurant without a doubt.
