The House of Seafood - ACHA — Restaurant in Bella Vista

Heard great things about this restaurant from some locals.

Was greeted by the door man and was promptly seated. Server came along and I explained I didnt speak spanish and asked kindly if someone spoke English. He stormed off quite upset. I could see him yelling at the door man for seating me in his section.

Took some time to get another server to come over to us. Which is understandable. No problem.

Once we clarified some quick questions about the menu we promptly ordered.

Lobster mac and cheese was soo good! Loved it. Calamari was different than what I expected but tried it none the less. Was drowned in garlic butter, it was not appetizing.

This restaurant is known for private, business, fine dining place.

I invited a group of visitors for a business dinner. Service was very good. The captain was attentive as well as other acquaintances. Sangria was on point as well as the pulpo a la gallega.

Dine at 'La Casa del Marisco,' the most upscale restaurant in Panama City, and your fellow diners will be some of the most prestigious and influential people outside of Club Unión...

Presidents, both current and former, Assemblymen, CEO's, bankers, and lawyers are the 'regulars.' Service is as flawless as the seafood, and the hosts and wait staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

The "pescado" is the finest in the city, prepared fresh, and plated meticulously (the Lobster Creole, being my favorite).

Suit and tie attire for gentlemen is recommended, and table-side stands are available in case you wore your Panama Hat, for a night on the town!

And a proverbial tip of the hat, to Panama City's finest... Thanks again, and I'm looking forward...
