    A must go to in Aruba, we have been going to Aruba for 20 years and always make sure to dine here at least once each time. Tonight we had the fresh live Main lobster, Joyce our waiter even took me to see the live lobsters on ice to see that they were alive and fresh. Great food, service and location. Ask for Joyce she is a lovely woman who gives great service and conversation.

    Menu was not accurate. Food was not prepared as described on menu, but server did not acknowledge substitutions. Several forgot one course that was ordered.

    Very nice dinner in an upscale seafood restaurant. We have been there several times and this year (2025) was good once again. Enjoyed our appetizers and meals and the service was very good. Will visit again next year.

    Aqua Grill was an excellent choice. A woman named Nora seems to run the front of house and she is incredibly kind and efficient. They work as a team, at the ready to clear a plate or bring a drink. The menu has some nice offerings and my husband loved the salmon with chutney. The coconut crème brûlée was delicious as a shared dessert.

    This was the worst experience I’ve had at this restaurant. I was served a bad piece of swordfish. The waitress didn’t even apologize. I asked for a new piece and she said: “this is all we have”. I ordered tuna instead. She came back at the end of the meal to check to see how the just ok tuna was. She did not offer to take anything off the bill or even send over a complimentary dessert. Definitely won’t go back or recommend.
