Panama Dining Room

The special entree last night at the Panama Dining Room was fantastic.
It was a potato and leek soup with salt cod and chorizo. A simple brothy potato and leek soup with small flakes of salt cod and chewy with strips of chorizo that had been dried out before topping the soup. The chorizo had a bit of heat to it and reminded me of a soup I had in Spain a few weeks ago, that also had what I called 'chorizo crisps'.
With Dianne Kerry in the kitchen the menu was inspired with Spanish/Middle Eastern/unique combinations. The dining room was casual, spacy and had friendly attentive staff.
The wine list offered out of the bag options that had PDC, torn for choice.
All this and no main courses over $29, fantastic value.
We will be back. Check it out before you need to book outrageously head.
