What a surprise for a 'no meat eater'!
Cosy and modern interior invites to stay and have a great meal.
In the menu you can find options for everyone although (obviously) all possible meat cuts take the cake ! The food is delicious. I love desserts but after appetizer and main dish I had no space left. Portions are very generous and beautifully served.
Waiter and bartender were very helpful while choosing our drinks and dishes. Patiently answering all the questions and making sure everyone is satisfied with their choices.
I'd highly recommend to everybody no matter if you like stakes or prefer fish.
The waiter messed up our order so bad and was not at all friendly it kinda ruined it for us. But I have to say the food was great once they got it right. And the brownie and ice cream fantastic.

Top shelf steak house in David. We had the delicious Rib eye steak and lobster and finished with flan. This is one of the best restaurants in town.

Honestly, the beat meat I've had in Chiriqui. 👌
I like my cuts medium rare or medium at the most fyi and since Im always skeptical about what they consider what and how it actually comes out of the kitchen I let the server ask me... So he goes, would you like it medium, 3/4 (known as medium well or well done? I told him medium to which he said excellent! That's perfect for this cut of meat (Ok, so this was actually good news)! So I went ahead and just threw out a comment saying "yeah, I actually prefer medium-rare but medium is fine" to see what would happen.
I was going to order the Denver Steak but since the server asked if he could recommend a plate I let him go ahead and do so. He told me they had just received some
Well, when the main course (we were 3, so 3 dif main dishes) came out and I took that first bite I was really surprised. Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of salt (btw, never smoked so I think I have pretty good taste buds for salt levels 😅). The rice was yummy as well, nice and hot and the chimichurri, again, probably one of the top 5 I've had, it was great!
I also tried both the New York and Entraña which is what my friend's ordered. The entraña had less fat than what I usually prefer but it was still really good. The New York, perfectly cooked as well and on point, all 3 meat cuts were definitely prepared the way they were supposed to.
Now, nothing is perfect so let's get to the negative 🥴
It did take a while, not too long like I've had happen at other restaurants here in Chiriqui but it wasn't what I'd consider fast either..... now, both starter plates came out relatively fast so no prob here.
Initially I was also going to deduct a star due to a small hiccup with the water cause we did get asked right away what we'd like to drink and they were served fast buttttt no water until after we had almost finished our drinks and started plates (which had also been served at this point). This was about 20-25 minutes into us arriving and I think it might have been another server or the owner who mentioned it because I remember hearing "water" and us receiving it less than 30 seconds later.
Anyways, why did I say initially? Well, because the rest of the service was on point. So I decided to add the star back. IMO they def deserved it for having service above 99% of the places I go to in Panama. To be more precise, I've only felt that way at about 4 restaurants I can think of in the country.
So yeah, review is long enough... just come here and eat some good meat (unless you are one of those 3/4 or well done people, if so, order something else 😜)
Restaurant seems small but is roomy enough with a back terrace and an indoor dinning. Service is attentive and respectful. Food is delicious, very well done and portions are not small, plenty options of meat cuts but also has sea food plates. Love it.

Service 5/5 Amazing staff.
The food I would rate 2.5 and a 1/2 stars.
Not including meat because I didn't order any meat most of the appetizers and Vegetarian options from the menu.
Meh at best Value of food for the extravagant amount it cost is not equal, which makes you feel like you got robbed or cheated.
I can't rave enough about the staff.
The atmosphere is cozy yet Sterilizing feeling cold lacking of warmth.
Onto the drinks oh my gosh the best mojito I've had in a very long time the drinks are top notch I give it a full 5/5

Such a phenomenal dining experience at Angus House. From the super friendly and accommodating staff, to the delicious cocktails, every moment spent at this restaurant was more than worth it. 10 out of 10 would eat here again and absolutely recommend.
Excellent imported steaks. Great service with a beautiful setting for indoor or outdoor eating. Great bartender with good drinks. A bit pricey and worth every penny.
