Nice place to spend some time just watching the marina the tranquil waters. I had a great Pesto Pasta, one of the best I have had ever.....Unfortunately, I found a straight black hair towards the bottom of the plate, nicely wrapped around my fusilli. I was mildly disgusted, and showed the waiter the (hopefully rare) find, and he looked sort... More

The place was empty, but our meal arrived after an hour. The meal tasted like expired frozen seafood. The seasoning was terrible. Do not go to this place.

Went on Sunday afternoon based on recommendations on this site. The Ceviche was okay, nothing special. The Caesar Salad was wilted lettuce with way too much dressing and not worth the $9.00 price. They did not have the lobster that was on the menu, so my wife had the Mahi Mahi which was not cooked properly. I had the Grilled... More

We stopped at Barko while spending time on the causeway. It had been awhile since we were in Amador and what a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant. We stopped by for a few drinks and a snack before going to dinner later. Well, once we ordered the Calamari with the Spicy Red Curry Mayo, we no longer needed to... More

Ate here twice as it was one of the few open on Mondays. Excellent skewer of dorado, empanada appetizer, shrimp, corvina, and ceviche. Good wine list, very good service , well trained & friendly bartender. Covered terrace or air conditioned are will make for a very good dining experience.

My other friends had different drinks but after tasting this thing they all finished there drinks and switched to this thing. Just ask for the house specialty drink. It is served in... More

It has a great view of the sea, and you can go there with friends or family to have a good time. The food is really delicious, it's an enjoyable place. The restaurant has the shape of a ship.

The restaurant is located out on the causeway so one side looks out to the sea and the other towards the Panama City skyline. The restaurant is a nondescript place with friendly staff. Its much bigger than I anticipated but the night we were there it was mostly empty save for a couple large tables of tourists. The greeter was... More
