Hadicurari Restaurant

We finally ate here for lunch after a week at the Marriott Surf Club. It was a great find; so the four of us went again the next day. It's almost all fish, but it was teriffic. We had the calamari, fried the first day and sauteed, the second. Both were great. We had the spicy shrimp salad twice, the 3 sandwiches (crab, tuna and salmon on sourdough), fish soup and two different fish dishes. The prices are consistent with anyplace on the strip (and better than most). Service was really solid. I always ask the wait staff for recommendations and they were spot on both days. All of this and post card views.

Hadicurari was our oasis in the desert. My wife and I had just done a great deal of walking and Hadicurari was all the way at the end of our trip. It was a great place to rest our feet and enjoy some good food. We started with some drinks that were the great mix of flavor and just enough alcohol. We each ordered a salad. I had the calamari salad which was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. My wife had the spicy shrimp salad which came with very meat shrimp and nice sauce that had a hint of heat but good sweetness to cool it down. Definitely looking forward to checking this place out again.

This was by FAR the worst restaurant I ever visited in Aruba... and we have been coming here for 6 years. I still ask myself why we didn't leave as soon as the waiter began to speak. The service was awful... the waiter actually told us we had a minute to order if we wanted a special that ended at 9. It took 1 hour to get our apps, which ranged from ok to bad. Another hour later we got dinner and 2 people of our party of 6 ate. The other dinners were either,awful, cold, and/or not prepared as described. If you are looking for a stressful dinner with rude staff and iffy food, this is the place for you.

Just returned from a 10 day stay in Aruba on 11-9 with friends. Stayed at the Surf Club next door. Hadicurari was one of the first restaurants we ate at. They had a $55 special - appetizer, entree and dessert. Read a lot of the reviews about service and I would have to generally agree - it took a long time to get our meal. But I have to say that the waiter was always very attentive and everyone had to wait for service - it's not like we were the only ones. Not an excuse but reality. They did buy us a drink for our troubles and frankly we weren't in a hurry. As an aside, there was a drunk girl at another table so that was entertaining in and of itself!

Once we did get our meals it was worth the wait. The food was great as was the dessert. I would recommend Hadicurari if you don't mind waiting for a great meal.

We ate here on the first night of our seventh Aruban vacation. The location can't be beat and the service was good. However, the portions were ridiculously small for the prices that they ask for their food! I don't need huge portions to have a good meal, on the contrary, but this was literally three bites of fish! With so many good restaurants to choose from, we won't likely return here.

Hadicurari is conveniently located to the Marriott Surf Club. It is alternative to resort food and offers beach front dining. If you are a value seeker, the prices are at a premium. I think that is why there are varied opinion on this restaurant. Sundays are quite lively as Moomba Beach Restaurant next door is a party spot and the music flows over into the restaurant.
I ordered the fish trio (grouper, mahi, and snapper), all lightly fried with a dipping sauce. Very tasty. My wife ordered the calamari which was also good. The restaurant does have Mon. and Wed. Buffet specials for $30 if you are seeking a deal. However, a la cart is at resort pricing. Overall, the restaurant is worth a try. Just keep the above in mind.

Bring a good book if your dining at Hadicurari to help pass the time. Took hours for my family to be fed once we were seated. Water glass sat empty and waiter came by to check on us only when I waived him down. My son began to fall asleep at the table and my wife had to excuse herself to take him to bed. Clearly understaffed and really took the wind out of our sails. Hadicurari is priced like a full service restaurant but don't be fooled.

Hadicurari is right on the beach and convienent to the hotels. I think of going here for a simpler night out. The prices are a bit higher than I expected for a more casual restaurant.

They do offer a $30 special which includes entree and dessert and a glass of wine.

The food is good and the environment more casual.

Excellent place to be!!

This restaraunt is beautiful - - overlooking Manchebo beach.

The food, however, was a little bit on the pricey side. We found the food to be decent, but there are other restaraunts in Aruba that are even better.

I think what annoyed me most was the meal was small in portion for the price.
