Sunset Grille

This was our first real dinner on our honeymoon... we wanted easy, and didn't want to leave the hotel... This was great... I started with a delicious Escargot in Garlic Butter that was delicious, while my wife had the chopped salad, that was delivered in a martini mixer, and served in a martini glass. Very cool. For dinner I had the Veal Oscar with garlic mashed and she had the Filet Mignon with scallopped potatos, both were amazing, plates were big and we took some home (the steak was better than the veal on day two eating) For dessert, we shared a chocolate souffle that was amazing, it was served with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, along with some blueberries and strawberries, they even took the time to write happy honeymoon in chocolate around the dessert. Delicious.

We went to the Sunset Grille five years ago for our honeymoon and the food was amazing and the place was packed! It was a wonderful experience. When we went back two years ago with my family, I was all excited to take them... however, when we got there, we found out the management and chef had changed. The food wasn't the same as five years ago and truly for the money, was a BIG disappointment. My husband and I were in Aruba for the 3rd time last month and decided to give it another try. I wish we would've gone somewhere else... the service was horrible and the food, again, just mediocre. We won't be going back unless they bring back the old menu/chef.

We ate at the Sunset Grill on the evening of Feb.19, 2009. I am aware that it was part of President's Week and that many families travel with children. We arrived at 7:30, as was indicated on our written reservation, expecting to be seated outside, as requested. We were told our reservation was at 7:00 and that we could no longer sit outside. We were seated inside where the noise was deafening! We made a mistake by not
leaving immediately. There were many large groups of families with small children that shreiked and cryed the entire time. The adults in the groups ignored their children and simply yelled over the din with their friends. Our group of eight could not converse with each other at all because we could not hear each other. We will not be back. The quality of the food was average, as was the presentation. I felt the management did nothing to insure the dining pleasure of all. They brought us two free desserts for the table, but really all we wanted was the bill so we could leave. That took forever to arrive.

After being on the Island 3 times, my (future)husband and I decided to get married in Aruba. After careful consideration on all the restaurants we ate at, we decided on one. So, On June 20, 2008, I had my wedding reception dinner at the Sunset Grille. From start to finish everything was absolutely perfect. The food was outrageous. Everyone raved (31 people) for days how delicious the food was. Almost everyone went back a second time. The staff was phenomenal, went above and beyond what I expected. They even entertained the table of kids we had. I would highly recommed this restaurant to everyone who goes to Aruba.

The sea bass and the red snapper were fishy tasting and not edible. My father had the NY sirloin which was excelllent. The crab cakes sucked. It tasted like cheapo canned crab. The chocolate coconut souffle was excellent. The atmosphere is beautiful.

Truly a 5 star restaurant! We always save the Sunset Grille for our last night. The sparking pools and bubbling waterfalls lend a wonderful background for terrace seating. Everything on the menu is supurb. This is a 'must do' restaurant!

We eat here everytime we go to Aruba and again we were completely satisfied!

Of all the dining experiences my husband and I have enjoyed in Aruba - the Sunset Grille was the most amazing! Not as trendy, or crowded as some of the more popular restaurant,which we appreciated. The ambiance, the food presentation and quality, the sevice - all perfection! If you are looking for a bargain meal,or are dining with small children, this is not the place to visit. Allow at least 2 hours dining time. Try for an outside table, at sunset. Savor every wonderful moment! Enjoy!

LOCATED INSIDE THE RADISSON HOTEL, WENT HERE FOR MY GIRLFRIEND'S B-DAY. NICE ATMOSPHERE. THE FOOD WAS GOOD/VERY GOOD. BE CAREFUL THOUGH, THE RESTROOMS ARE OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT IN THE LOBBY. EVERYTHING HERE IS A-LA-CARTE (YOU PAY FOR EVERYTHING YOU GET.....SALAD, APPETIZER, VEGS, ENTREE, DESSERT..VERY, VERY PRICEY) WAITER WAS NOT PLEASANT AND MADE US WAIT AND ASK OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR MORE ROLLS AND BUTTER (THANKFUL THAT WE DIDN'T GET CHARGED FOR THEM) THE MANAGER, HOWEVER, DID ACCOMODATE ME IN CELEBRATING MY GIRLFRIEND'S B-DAY WITH A FREE DESSERT AND THE WAITERS SANG. HAD A GOOD TIME, BUT WON'T RETURN....TOO PRICEY!

My wife and I make sure to visit the Sunset Grille every trip. The steaks are perfect and the service is the best on the island. I will admit that the ambiance is a little dark, but this fits in with most American steak houses. We took our daughter and my 1 year old granddaughter, they treated my granddaughter like a queen, but I would not consider this the best place on the island for a family with four kids. This rivals the many steak houses I have been to throughout the US, the world, and the best steak in Aruba.
