    My wife and I took the tasting menu which is geared toward seafood. It was perfectly executed, full of original flavors. Service was flawless and the restaurant is beautiful. We had come from Lima where we ate at Merito and Mayta and Maito was in the same league. We’ll be back on our next trip to Panama!
