Caleta

Bewertungen
Decided to dine at Caleta on our last night in Panama City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner. The atmosphere isn’t quite what you’d expect, it’s kind of dark and sectioned off like a steakhouse. Service was pretty close to on par with a Michelin starred restaurant. The drinks were fantastic and some of the best we had in Casco Viejo. The food was generally good, we thought the Lobster Gnocchi dish was disappointing. The pumpkin raviolo dish was misrepresented. We received Piramidali, not raviolo. The vegetable & green curry dish was very good and we enjoyed the mushroom tamale as well.
We had an excellent dinner here. Everything was superb. The food is delicious and the presentation was outstanding. Our server Juan was fantastic.
inside the Sofitel casco viejo hotel, the decor is simple but elegant, the service was amazing, paying attention to all details. The cocktails are unique, and good selection of wines. You start with complimentary bread service, everything on the menu looks amazing, everything we had was amazing. The lobster au sauce was phenomenal. And the beef tartare one of the best tartares I’ve had, everything with unique flavours. Next we had the fish collar, WOW what a dish, it was beyond amazing. I highly recommend trying this place out. It’s 100% worth going.
Wow! Service was impeccable and the food presentation was outstanding. Not to mention the food tastes great and the ambiance was lovely. The Sofitel is a beautiful hotel and casca viejo neighborhood is fun. Anyways favorite item was the tomato bruschetta and the Cacoa dessert. Wine was good too. Not a bad item. Reservation needed. Ask for Mizael! Great server!
We came to Caleta for dinner on our last evening in Panama, and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable, and the meal was equally amazing. We started with drinks — a mocktail mule and the Rose cocktail — and the Rose was honestly one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Our server Juan was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive throughout the evening. The menu is organized by categories like seafood, meats, and vegetables rather than traditional courses like apps and entrees, which was unique and fun. They began by bringing us a beautiful artisan bread and two tuna tartare bites, both full of flavor. We then shared the fried carrot ceviche and the duck tortelli — I could have eaten five more of those tortellis, they were that good! For our entrée, we split the catch of the day (seabass, shareable for two), which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Each dish was beautifully presented, making the whole dining experience feel elevated and thoughtful. We finished with the coco dessert, which came with a theatrical touch of liquid nitrogen, such a fun presentation and delicious too. Everything about this meal was outstanding! the food, the creativity, the presentation, and the service. Highly recommend and would absolutely go back!
