Popped in here one night after a major parade and had some great food pictured here. No reservation required, walked right in for dinner. The menu has a wide variety as well got pizza, steak, sandwich, and a pasta dish. All were excellent and we would order again. The service was challenging though, and made it about a 2 hour affair which was surprising given there were not many patrons. Sat for about 25 minutes before we were engaged.

We had dinner at Casa Vieja in Boquete Panama and it was a very pleasant experience. We were met and seated along the river. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu, polite and very attentive. We ordered the Filet Mignon which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The stuffed trout was fresh and very tasty. We fully enjoyed our dinner experience and we will definitely return.

Ok, so I honestly wanted to like this place (cause I love food) and the environment is really nice but the food... mmm, it was so so at best.
Two of us ordered burgers (The house burger with mango sauce and the X burger with Pineapple sauce) and even though we ordered them medium, they were more like 3/4 or medium well done. The meat was also really thick which makes it quite hard to eat unless you have a big mouth. They could have spread out the meat a bit more... Anyways, out of the two, the house burger with the mango sauce was better.
One of the burgers (mine) was ordered with the house potatoes and when the plate arrived it had french fries instead and the server explained they were out of potatoes. Ok.. you should have told me before bringing the plate out and I would have chosen patacones instead. She said no prob , I'll get them... well, they never arrived, even though she came back at around the 15 minute mark and mentioned they were crazy full (not really but ok), waited close to 15 more and just gave up on it.
Two of the other people eating with me had pasta plates and they both arrived lukewarm at best.
Another issue was the drinks we ordered. A margarita on the rocks, a frozen margarita and a pitcher of sangria. All of them were very sweet... which is kinda common sometimes in Sangria's but on a Margarita? Just weird.... We thought it might have been simple syrup being used.
Service could also be better. My mother asked for a room temp water and after waiting for over 10 minutes and asking about it twice one of the servers (Also bartender) told her it was because it was in the warehouse???? Uhmmm, ok? So why are you telling me now instead of warning when ordered that it would take 15+ minutes. It seems like he took offense to my mother telling him she had already asked twice about where the water was.
So yeah, it wasn't a nightmare even though it might read out like that but we definitely won't be coming back and I leave this review as constructive criticism only so you can improve..
P.S. The server was supposed to bring a replacement Frozen Margarita over 45 minutes ago since the other one's glass broke all of the sudden.
Went to watch a soccer game. It was packed with fans and such a nice atmosphere. Everyone was supporting the team. Beers were very cold. They have other activities there as well that maybe can help if you happen to be around on a week day in town.
It's location is very cozy. It has a water stream underneath it that makes things calming. It's like having a white noise machine.

1. The place is very beautiful.
2. The food needs improvement (we had pizza)
3. Service was so so. You can do better.
4. There was a good live band but I think it was a bit too loud for the space they were playing in and also for a restaurant. But the band was good.
Beautiful restaurant with a river running through it. I went on a Saturday night, and they had a live band.
They have vegan options, but may be worth calling ahead to confirm they are available. When I went the vegan burger was unavailable.
This has been my go to restaurant, because the food is very good. Tried most things on the menu and desserts. Local beer is priced well. Can be slow at times, but friendly service.
