Caliope - Panama

I had the Braised short rib dish and it was amazing!

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..

Best risotto I’ve ever had. Very good service as well.

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.

No recibí lo que pedí. Solicité medallones de res, pero me trajeron carne de res en lonchas finas y sin sabor.
