We went to Thistle and Thorne on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the mini afternoon tea for two…read more It comes with two pots of premium loose leaf tea (we chose strawberry kiwi and birthday tea), two housemade scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and four classic finger sandwiches--cucumber and ham & provolone. My daughters loved the cucumber sandwiches--they tasted fresh and crisp. The ham and provolone had a mustard spread they didn't care for, and the bread was a little on the stale side. That said, the presentation on the two-tier platter was undeniably cute. Honestly though, the real win here is the vibe. It somehow blends traditional afternoon tea with hip coffee shop energy and just a hint of speakeasy moodiness. The "bar" lined with loose leaf teas instead of liquor bottles was such a fun touch (though yes, they do serve alcohol too if that's your thing). We sat in one of the window alcoves, which felt semi-private and made the whole outing with my daughters feel a little extra special. And the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf? Chef's kiss. Our server was attentive and cheerful, and mentioned they offer a full high tea once a month--which apparently sells out in five minutes (not surprising). But honestly, the mini tea (available Fridays and Saturdays) was just right for us.

Lo and behold the mimosas were on special and they had flavors like white peach, rose & lavender, cucumber basil & lime, blueberry and of course traditional OJ. The vibe is super cool inside!

Light food also available like a vegan soup, scone with clotted cream and jam and couple other items. Loved this place wil stop back again!

Very yummy and refreshing. Food: Steak Tacos, Carnitas Nachos and El Pollo Tacos, Queso and Chips Steak taco was a little bit chewy but the flavor was very good. The El Pollo Taco had great flavor and our friend who was eating this taco loves hot stuff so the owner brought over some hot sauce that they make in house and said friend said it was wonderful....I tried just an itty bitty taste and my mouth was burning...eeeeek!! My favorite was the carnitas nachos....so flavorful and I loved the pickled onions and black beans on the nachos. Queso was nice and thick and had a little kick to it. Chips came out warm and plenty in the basket for sharing. We ordered their Street Corn and Chips and ate that when we got back home and it was my all time favorite. Perfection!! I would drive over to their restaurant just to order the Street Corn and Chips to go. We will be back and we recommend 100PC!!

Let me tell you something coming from Miami, walking into a Cuban restaurant in the middle of…read moretourist central Panama City felt like ordering a cafecito at a gas station you're hopeful, but you're ready to be disappointed. Well I'm here to publicly apologize to my ancestors, my abuela, and the entire city of Miami. Because Havana Night Restaurant came out SWINGING. First off, the place looks GOOD. Not we tried good I mean this place has vibes. Lights, music, energy like if Calle Ocho took a vacation and decided to behave slightly better. And on weekends? Live music. The kind that makes you want to clap, dance, and suddenly believe you have rhythm you don't but it doesn't matter. Now let's talk about Magda. Listen service was so good I thought she was being extra nice because I looked hungry. Turns out she's one of the owners. That explains EVERYTHING by the way she even offered me a discount because of my birthday being the same as her mother's She treated us like family like the good kind of family, not the one that argues over dominoes. I went in with a group of five, and I ordered the churrasco with congrí, yuca, mayo ketchup, and tostones. Basically, I ordered like I hadn't eaten since 2003. And when that plate hit the table I knew I was in trouble. The steak? You could cut it with a fork. Not kinda soft I mean I looked at it aggressively and it almost fell apart. Flavor? PERFECT. Not tourist Cuban food I'm talking abuela standing over the stove judging your life choices level flavor. The congrí had that little drizzle of olive oil on top... and I almost stood up and gave a speech. Who told them they could cook like this in Panama City?! Who gave them permission?! Everyone at the table ordered something different, and not one plate disappointed. That's rare. Usually, in a group, there's always one person quietly suffering like, yeah mine's okay. Not here. Everyone was smiling like we just got paid. And here's the craziest part... you know that Cuban food coma? That "I need to unbutton my pants and rethink my life" feeling? NONEXISTENT. I ate like a champion. I expected to roll out of there like a croqueta but nope. I felt full, happy, and somehow still functional. Witchcraft. By the end of the meal, I was sitting there like a satisfied roly-poly, questioning everything I thought I knew about Cuban food outside of Miami. Bottom line if you're anywhere near Panama City and you don't go here, you're making bad life decisions. Period. I'll be back next week... or the week after or whenever my stomach starts calling Magda by name again.
