I met the owner, Carla, quite randomly outside of her restaurant. I was celebrating getting a new job and she kindly allowed my friend and I to bring in a few bottles of champagne. She sat with us talking about our lives and how she came to be a business owner in Panama. The staff and service was excellent and... More

Cocktails for about $3 during happy hour. Good quality, lots of choice. Quick service. Sit out back by the water for the views. What's not to like? We visited a couple of times.

In fairness, all I had at this restaurant was breakfast but, honestly, if they can't cook an egg what hope is there for a decent piece of fish. I asked for an over easy egg and got one egg with the yolk broken and just a yellow part of the white and the other with a yolk that was a... More

Please accept our sincere apology for your experience at Bocas del Toro Restaurant & Bar. All reviews are appreciated and positive changes will be made. Unfortunately, there is no specific word for, “Over Easy”, or “Sunny Side Up” eggs in Panamanian Spanish, thus it can be left to interpretation. We will work on this! The staff has always been friendly... More

Surprisingly good fried fish sticks! Like lightly breaded Japanese tempura. Sweet and tender and delicious. Our table of five had other things too, and the food and drinks were uniformly good, service was pretty speedy, On the water, with accommodating staff

Imagine a perfect margarita high, and then to top it off, Pina Coladas, $2.75, dark wood paneling, roadside bar. Perfect! But not so. The ingredients: Pineapple chunks (good start) but they wouldn't blend; then things got a little sketch, out comes the white rum (cheap Bacardi), very little for two Pinas, and then a heavy dose of whole milk. A... More

Happy Hour is meant to be Happy, and we are very sorry your experience was not perfect. Based on the pricing, you did partake in Happy Hour( 5-7pm, includes access to our lovely dock and vista of adjacent islands)! The Bar uses only fresh pineapple in our Pina Colada which is one of our most recognize Happy Hour drinks, loved... More

YUM YUM YUM - I LOVE it when restuarants use local ingredients in their cooking. This restuarant is no exception :) I was delighted to try a new passion fruit sauce over the fillet of fish the cook was debating on adding to the menu - very unique and different :) My husband had a seafood pasta which was also...

And let me explain: we ended up at the restaurant over lunch time at 13:30 yesterday. Outage #1: the waiter didn't speak a word of English. You gotta be kidding me! This restaurant is part of the Bocas del Toro hotel which is apparently in the top 10 in Bocas Town. Nothing against the guy (he was trying to be... More

I loved that there was a variety of food. All delicious! No dislikes! Another plus is the view. The restaurant is in the back of the hotel and so you get a great view of Isla Carenero.

There's nothing like having bacon and eggs to remind you of home while you're traveling through Latin America where everyone eats rice and beans for breakfast. The breakfast sandwich was my favorite!
