Very disappointed. Service was terrible. Waited 1-hour for appetizers to arrive. In that time, was served just one roll. Waited another hour for main courses to arrive. As a result, was comped kids' OJ's and one bottle of beer (despite having ordered 3 bottles of wine). During wait, never approached by waiting staff. Beautiful setting but way too expensive for that kind of treatment.

Well...we've been to the rest now we've been to the best. Food was excellent, service was pampering, but most of all we loved the ambiance. The sax player was a great touch and the creativity from the hand painted menus and plates to the lighting was perfect. Don't miss this restuarant on your trip to Aruba.

A disapointment for the food en waiting time. We must wait more then one hour before the food was ready.

Salamon was dry en very thin. Quality of the food is like a local bar/cafe but not for a good restaurant with high prices.

We don't go back there.

Eating at this restaurant has been one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. The atmosphere is so relaxing. I had the tostones con pollo which were amazing. The dessert was so good I didn't even want to share it. I will definitely keep this as one of my top dining experiences.

AS world travelers, we can put this restaurant as one to be at the top of our list. The friendly environment and romantic setting is incredible. The food is fantastic! The pollo con tostones is out of this world. The deserts are heavenly. I plan to visit the next time I am in Aruba. Congratulations to Chef Gabriel and his staff. The food was a symphony of flavors never to be foregotten. Thanks

This place is amazing, we went for our 20th anniversary and we reserved the private island. The view is amazing you can see the Peninsula of South America. The food was great we had the catch of the day and my wife had Macadamia Fish. Our desserts were plated for the occasion and Chef Gary came out and greeted us and sang a song. All in all a great time.

A MAJOR disappointment, and I can’t believe that I am writing this as we were so looking forward to our evening here. Based on all the rave reviews, we had purposely selected this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. We encountered major problems that evening, primarily due to the fact that they were accommodating an extremely large private, corporate party that night. We met with one of the owners on our way out, and had a lengthy and frank conversation with him. He was very receptive to what we had to say and apologized for our bad experience. Much to his credit, towards the end of our conversation he invited us to return as his guests on another night. Unfortunately, we were leaving in 2 days and had other plans for our last two evenings. In addition to all the problems we encountered, I would add that the food was nothing out of the ordinary.

We are regulars to Aruba and love to try new restaurants each visit. This restaurant rates among some of our favourites. The setting was magnificent as was the food, presentation and service. The tables were placed throughout the beach with lovely soft lighting. You never felt that your conversations were being listened to by others as the tables were so nicely spaced around the restaurant. The food was amazing,my husband and I had fish and our teenage sons had lamb. Everything was first rate and beautiful. Before we left we made another reservation for our next trip in March. This place is a "must" for visitors to Aruba.
