Reef

Frommer's Review

The Reef is a local dive serving ultra-fresh Panamanian seafood in a rough-and-tumble, saltwater ambience. You can't get any closer to the waterfront than at a table at the Reef -- one false move and you'll tumble into the sea. The Reef serves home-style cooking, mostly seafood with the usual choice of garlic, creole-style, or fried, with rice, beans, and patacones. These dishes are simple yet pleasing, but stay away from their bland sandwiches. I like the Reef for its seafaring Panamanian flavor; here in Bocas, it just feels right.
