Reviews Summary

Guests rave about the fusion cuisine, particularly the sushi and mushroom dumplings, and the impeccable service.

"10/10, 5 stars isn't enough. Not only was Herman the perfect waiter, but all of the staff was amazing. The decor is where luxury meets the WILD. The food is superbly gastronomic with Asian and Panamanian influence. The variety of flavors and dishes is vast. 2 days in, and this is by far my favorite restaurant so far. The mushroom dumplings and coconut tres leches are a must try, especially if you are vegetarian or have aversions to dairy and meat. From beginning to end, the experience was phenomenal. The live entertainment and music make Salvaje a luxurious interactive dining experience. The price point is inexpensive for the luxury experience they offer. If you're celebrating an occasion, love a "good turnup," prefer luxury dining or just want "wild" excitement, this is the place."

"I recently dined here for my birthday!! It’s definitely an experience🤩 The food was great. This place gets BUSY, it took while for our server to come over , however management stepped in once I told him. Our server was good considering how busy he was ! If you want dinner with a show, this is the place to be! They perform about every 20 mins, also they have a DJ! I ordered the Tommy’s Margarita slvg, the dynamite roll for my appetizer, it was so good we ordered another! This was one of the more simple rolls but the flavors were out of this world ! I ordered the catch of the day for my entree, everyone else got the lamb shank and duck fired rice, they were pleased! Lastly I ordered the Wild Cacao for dessert, it was yummy! ( which was complimentary for my birthday ) I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Panama! I’ll definitely dine again the next time I’m in Panama 🇵🇦"

One of the coolest bars in Casco, Salvaje (which translates as Wild) is a local favourite not on the tourist map. It is located near the walled entrance to the old town. If you decide to walk to the roof of the lively bar five storeys up, you can meander through the crumbling, historic building with its wide, plant-filled balconies, reminiscent of Havana, Cuba.
