Caliope - Panama

We went on a Saturday night with my mom to try a new place that my mom haven’t went before so we decided to go Caliope. We ordered Angus beef skewers, beef Wellington, Angus Piacanha and Hanger steak. First thing that they brought to the table was this cup with yellow soup, it was pretty disgusting and couldn’t even finish it. Next thing that they brought was eggplant with bread, pretty interesting combination but it was pretty good overall. Next, was the Angus beef skewers which only contained 3 skewers which was not enough since it was 4 people, the taste was ok and the presentation was over the top with unnecessary smoke and it cost 12$ meaning each skewers cost 4$. We also ordered fried dumplings with beef inside and it tasted ok and pretty overpriced. Right before they bring the steak out, they brought out a tomato paste that was sweet and sour to cleanse your palate before eating steaks. We started off with the Beef Wellington, the bread was pretty oily and soggy which which wasn’t good at all. Furthermore, the Angus Piacanha was rare inside which couldn’t be eaten at all. The only steak that was good was the Hanger steak. Overall, the staff is ok, when I asked for the wifi, they said that they will give it to me but never gave it to me, I needed the wifi to see the menu but at the end I told my brother to order for me. I’m very disappointed with the staff and they take forever to refill water, they are not that alert with the tables. The food is ok but very overpriced.

I just had a fantastic dinner at Caliope. Erika was my server and she was fantastic. I had the Atlantic salmon which was exactly what I needed after a long 24 hours of flying!

Great place. The food was amazing. It's not cheap, but the quality and quantity are perfect. I think the value for the money is just right. I really enjoyed this restaurant. I will be back definitely. FYI, I ordered a double scotch, and they basically brought me a full glass.. I was very impressed..

I was looking for the perfect restaurant for our first time in Panama and boy did we find it! This place is OUTSTANDING! Not a single bad thing to say. Not only did they give us many complimentary things, like a mini pumpkin soup, a tomato pallet cleanser and a eggplant spread with bread but the rest of the food and the service was amazing… Alanis was an excellent server, she was quick and friendly. We’re only in Panama for 2 days and we’ll probably be coming back before we leave!

Excellent service and food was so good, all very delicious It’s a restaurant that you will always want to return to
