After reading the reviews we thought we should try this restaurant while in Manchester doing the christmas markets. After wards wished we had chosen the Duck as the next table had, my sirloin steak ahd a definite 'liver' taste to it I am not really sure how that happend however the taste stayed with me all night!!!! The restaurant had a fab atmosphere, so we will give it another go when we come to town again.

We booked table couple weeks in advance as it was my partner birthday. When we arrived no one bother what was in our reservation had to ask twice to have table changed and not to be seated next to big and loud party , even tho restaurant was almost empty. Then waiters was over every 2 minutes, not even leaving us for a moment of peace, for some people it mean that they have good service for me it means I wasn't able to have normal conversation , not mention finishing even one sentence) . food was average, definitely lacking something, wine was much warmer than room temperature. I hardly ever complain but I can't say I had a good evening. Staff made us feel like they was rushing to get rid of people. For me it's a NO NO

visited Panama Hattys this week with my partner, the venue was amazing and extremely intimate, however although the meal was presented well/we both had steak ( which was definitely not to my liking)it was a shame as it definitely put a downer on our evening. will we be going back probably not!

Panama Hatty's is such an excellent place to eat. My girlfriend took me there for our first Valentines day together. We have been there several times since and had great service and well cooked/presented food every time. A very relaxed environment and polite staff. 10/10

Panama Hatties, Manchester - 30th Birthday Celebration. Fantastic service. Couldn't do enough for us but not in an intrusive sort of way. The owner / manager was relaxed and efficient which made us feel at ease. There were 17 in our party and all the food was tasty, well cooked and served at the same time.
Thanks for a fabulous night!

Pleasant enough ambiance and good service. Its not really authentic latin american food though, more tex mex/toned down interpretations for the timid (or those who haven't experienced the genuine article). Generous portions in pleasant surroundings but if you're expecting something genuine and really different you may be disappointed.

Panama Hattys is now amongst my favourite restaurants. The staff are very accommodating without being intrusive. We did order drinks with the meal and they didn't arrive so we asked another waiter who brought them promptly. When we informed the head waiter about the wait, he apologised sincerely and reduced the bill so we had the round of drinks on the house. This is excellent customer service and we would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone. It is a relaxing atmosphere, especially in the lounge area. The wine and cocktail lists are extensive to suit all tastes. The quality and presentation of food is excellent. Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection. The fruit and sorbet starter was fantastic. Ripe sweet fruits against a tangy raspberry sorbet, served in a crunchy tortilla basket, bliss!! The duck was cooked to perfection with a sumptuous sauce, just the right amount. Steamed veg and an original sweet potato dauphinoise was a fantastic combination. I'll definitely be back soon!

Really let down with the food this time around, I had a burger which was black on the outside and red in the middle! It tasted like it had been cooked a week ago and re heated! Not impressed as not the cheapest burger I have had! £11. Prawn starter also was a let down and was straight out of a freezer bag!
