Tomate y Amor, which means Tomato and Love, is the new gem in Panama’s culinary offer. We can definitely say that the chef and owner Zena Sabagh infused love in this restaurant. 
Their staff is very attentive and professional. From the moment we drove in, a friendly valet greeted us. Then when we walked in, two waiters guided us to our table, making sure we see the small steps they have in the entrance.
The place is beautiful, from the art to the glassed kitchen where you can see the wood-fired grill. The music’s volume was perfect where we could enjoy it and also talk.
Their International menu is very assorted. While we waited for our food they brought us hot bread with butter which we couldn’t stop eating. For appetizers we ordered White Cheese and Spinach and Artichokes dip. For dinner, we had Chicken a la Kiev, Corvina, Rib Eye Steak and, of course, Tomato Soup. We finished the evening with a Crème Brûlée. Everything was delicious.
After dinner we went up to their Club Urbano located on the second floor and enjoyed their drinks. Please try the Strawberry Caipiriña.
Their prices a reasonable and it was just a very nice evening.
