I was surprised to see all the oriental dishes in this menu. My seared tuna was fresh and delicious. The oriental salad with it was fantastic. You can not beat the location. Right on the beach, Playa Venao.
The service was very nice. The serving staff was helpful and very friendly.
We had breakfast and dinner there as we were staying at the hotel.. Great coffee.

We stopped at El Sitio for drinks and snacks while visiting Playa Venao. A wonderful place to leisurely watch the surfers, and the waves. Bar is spacious and relaxing. Conversationly grouped plush seating with loads of throw pillows. Several swinging chaise lounges fit two or three reclining. Extremely laid back ambiance. Great with children - playground in the yard adjacent to parking.

During our stay in Pedasi, we loved to drive to El Sitio for a late lunch. The open air dining is right on the surfing beach. The atmosphere is totally relaxed. I'm amazed at some of the other reviewers complaining about the slow service. I could have stayed all day watching the beach scene! I was just glad that we never felt pressured to hurry our meal. When our daughter and her family visited, her comment when we walked into the restaurant was "This is a magical place!"

Food and service was very good, however the price was a bit high. Tried the Paella which unexpectedly good and the Asian Salad which was okay. Had dinner there and my only observation was that I couldn't see with clarity what I was eating since the area where I was sitting had dim lightning. Very nice atmosphere and beach view. Loud techno music.

excellent location. nice place to relax. views are splendid. but prices are outrageous for Panama standards. but hey it is at the beach so you spend some dollars. we ordered some bbq'ed wings. those did not arrive hot so were clearly reheated. I guess for the money you pay the chef can easily prepare some fresh chicken wings. I explained this to the waitress but all she could say is that we should have told her before. But no explanation why they serve lousy reheated food for a lot of money. I think this is the standard, not interested in serving. Other things were okay but beware of hefty prices for drinks.
