    Excellent service, food and ambiance. We were seated in time in a very nice table as requested in our reservation. Our appetizers, main dishes and desserts were all perfectly cooked and served as requested. Great Panamanian food and hospitality. We will recommend to others visiting Panama and will return here on future visits.

    When I go on vacation I like to dine at local establishments. Concolon did not disappoint. I walked out unable to fit my pants. Food was great and authentic, The chicken broth that they served you when you first sit down makes you feel like you’re at grandma’s house. The sangria is made with love. Everything was “chef’s kiss”. Great value as well.

    This restaurant is very welcoming...with a cool garden vibe decor, nice laid out dining room...I've been twice during my holiday..both lunch and dinner time food was very good, service attentive...staff knew some English so that was a plus My three course dinner date of ceviche...delicious, chicken with grilled vegetables and mash...very tasty and my dessert of Cointreau strawberries with vanilla ice-cream...very refreshing This restaurant is located in a five star hotel, you would think it will be quite expensive, but to my surprise really affordable with clean fresh ingredients well prepared and spiced to perfection, I couldn't believe the value of this dining establishment...all but one item is under $30 and that item is $32.00...drinks/cocktails again value and well priced My lunch date was also good, it was excellent meal preparation and service of crispy chicken salad and beef and chicken kebabs with grilled vegetables. I highly recommend this restaurant for good food, good service, excellent value and beautiful decor experience.
