We had 3 remarkable dinners at this beautiful restaurant. There were five of us on Valentines Day and each of us were
very happy. Can't wait to return in 2013 & visit with Luc
again.

Another great meal at Barefoot. This was our second visit, this time with a party of ten. The restaurant/kitchen was able to handle this size group with no problem, and this was tied for our best meal of the week. The ambience and food are definitely worth the taxi ride ($17-19) from Palm Beach.

We were seated promptly at our reservation time, inside under the palapa. If you want a seat on the beach I would request it when making the reservation. A variety of appetizers and entrees were had by our group, all were well prepared. The Duo of Tuna was good but the tartar part was a little bland. Goat cheese medallions have a very mild goat cheese that leave you wanting more. Also, the tomato soup was good. A special tuna tataki appetizer wazs perfectly prepared and seasoned. For entrees, all fish dishes were prepared perfectly, not overcooked and flavorful. Also, the pork tenderloin and truffle tenderloin were well received. The chicken and pineapple was good but a little too sweet for a full size entree.

Overall, a very good meal, and we will definitely be back next year.

a must dining experience; incredible food; fabulous sunsets (made reservations at 6:30 PM at beginning of March as the sun begins to go down); perfect setting; as they say "Elegant Dining in Flipflops"; have dined here twice during our two week stay; the lobster cappuccino was a wow; surf and turf delicious; accommodating staff; can't wait to return next year.

What a fabulous dining experience! We have been home just over a week, yet the memory of our dinner at Barefoot deliciously lingers. Our food and its presentation were a diner's delight, expertly served by our fun and knowledgeable waitress who suggested a smoked beef carpaccio with which to start: outstanding! My dinner choice was the Grouper Romana which was moist and delectable, fulfilling in every way. A combination of walnut, hazelnut and pistachio ice creams for dessert made for a virtual party in my tummy. There is nothing that can quite compare to the ambience of dining on the beach in the Caribbean, especially when one of the cruise ships sets sail right offshore, lights ablaze. Accolades to Gerco and his staff for the wonders that come from his kitchen, and, above all, to the friendship, warmth and graciousness of Luc, co-owner and maitre d'. Dining at Barefoot is a treat not to be missed!

This has been our second meal at barefoot. the first time this trip we were seated out on the beach. gorgeous view, great food and service.
Tonight we went to barefoot but sat inside underneath the beautiful thatched roof. Had a fantastic meal (grouper with shrimp, great goat cheese fritter appetizer and amazing dessert brownie with ice cream). Service was incredible. by far one of the best restaurants on this island as far as we are concerned(we've been coming to aruba about 6 years in a row). Our only complaint is that there was a couple smoking at a table near us. there were four of us and we all felt it kind of ruined our dinner. I would highly recommend this restaurant, i just hope they can adopt a non smoking policy or at least have the smokers sit on the beach.

Barefoot makes for a fantastic evening. They greeted us upon arriving. We were seated out on the sand(they do have provisions incase of rain). The service was excellent! Nicky provide excellent service & became our official photographer. The meal was great from the appetizer, main course to the dessert. We will definitely dine at Barefoot on our return visit to Aruba and recommend it to others.
