The Restaurant at Tierra del Sol

This past May/June was the second year we vacationed in Aruba, and it was also the second year we enjoyed multiple meals at "Ventanas". Jimmy is an excellent chef who is personable as well as skilled in his craft - the sevice staff were pleasant, efficient and fun to talk to - the manager was welcoming, and the venue itself is warm and welcoming with good music being played by local musicians. Following our first experience at Ventanas we have routinely recommended it to friends, we will continue to do so, and we will be sure to return next year!

Wonderful experience! The view is amazing. We were there at 6pm and we first took a nice bottle of wine and enjoyed the view.

During the sunset we order our appetizer en main course. The food was really good.
We loved it. If you are in Aruba and you have the opportunity. We would recommend it.

It is sad to see one of your favourite restaurants going down.
Amuse and appetizer were too salty and tournedos was not warm, yet overcooked and meat had no flavour whatsoever.
Waiter tried his best to reduce the damage, but it is obvious the organization of this restaurant is in great problem.
Our suggestions:
1. get back the chief from 2010 in the kitchen
2. do more advertising and offer free pick-up service for guests

We really hope they come out it !!!

yesterday me and my wife had a absolute fabulous evening in this restaurant. The Tenderloin and lobster-tail was perfect. The other thing we loved about this restaurant is the amazing view. We definitely coming back next year. thanks

Last Tuesday we eat at Ventanas del mar en wowwwwwwww this is not a restaurant but a art gallery the plates was like small paintings the Rossini the best ever and my lamb was out outstanding

Every dish was creative!!!!!!!

Wonderful experience!

You can't go to Aruba without visiting this restaurant. You won't regret it.

Very good food and nice location

Will return on my next visit

One of the best view restaurants on the island. You get a unique view of the California lighthouse and the north shore of the beach. We went right at sunset and got the most amazing pictures, sit outside and enjoy the very comfy chairs. Our waiter was very nice and polite, the food was pretty good. A little tip is that Ventanas del Mar has an early bird special. From 5-7, you can get either the 3 course fixed price meal everyday except Wed. and Surf and turf special (prawns and petite fillet) Wed. Only for approx $32 dollar. Combine that with a coupon in one of the tourist books for a free glass of wine. I ordered the surf and turf special, and my wife ordered the deconstructed seafood lasagna. All of which had great presentation and flavor. Would definitely recommend

During our holiday we've visited the restaurant twice. Once for our honeymoon diner, in full atire, and twice, just to relive the experience once more! We were positively surprised by the skills of chef Jim, innovative combinations of flavors, and overall quality of the food (of which some ingredients may have been hard to come by ). Unlike other haute-cuisine restaurants, the portions were also quite large. Topped with a great view on the northern side of the island, both visits were absolutely worthwile, we had a amazing time. Undertake the journey to the California Lighhouse district, (less then 5 min by taxi from the Highrise area), and be overwhelmed.

Not sure why no reviews since 10/08. Everytime I have been there it was excellent. Great atmosphere & those chairs are so comfy!

how come this restaurant didn,t receive any more reviews after october 2008??

can somebody explain this please?
thanks.

This place was gorgeous, we went right at sunset and got the most amazing pictures, sit outside and enjoy the very comfy chairs, was not very crowded at all either, our waiter was very nice and polite, the food was pretty good, not the best I had on the island, but good, definitely worth going for the amazing grounds.
