What User doesn't like about Makoto:
The location (especially outside) is very nice and the view is amazing. The service is dissapointing, there were many waiters standing together, but are not proactive unfortunately. Moreover, the food is not bad, however I expected it to be better based on expected price/qualitity balance. The sushi with fried shrimp had a lot of asperagus and little shrimp. All dishes are quite small as well View all feedback. What User likes about Makoto:
Everything was amazing from the view of the city to each item we ate. The pairing and presentation was on point and the server was one of the best we had in Panamá. The carpaccio was delicious, the Kobe skewers were out of this world and the desserts rocked. Not only will we be back but now I’m going to try the one in Miami. View all feedback.

They canceled my reservation for my daughter's 10th birthday the day before our reservation. No decency at all, absolutely unacceptable. I will never eat there....
