    All of our meals were over-cooked. Our fish was dry as a board and had no flavor. They were terribly understaffed. We had to wait one hour and twenty minutes for our meals. They comped our desert, but it was an awful experience.

    Skip this place. So many better places to eat in Aruba. We’ve been coming here annually for several years, and it’s steadily gone downhill. This was our last visit. Had a reservation for outside, were promptly seated. We were seated at a table next the live music, and it was a little loud for conversation. Our server was also serving a 20 top, so it was 30 min before she came to us. We requested another server, as having a 20 top with other tables is difficult, but instead she rushed us along not even asking for drink orders but getting our food order. Food was fine. But we literally couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Not an enjoyable experience for the premium prices staring at the street or McDonald’s.

    Extremely well organized. We were a large group and they handled us very smoothly. The food was excellent with the small exception that my fish was cooked more than I like. But the ceviche was superb and everyone liked their meals, I’d say that was good for a party of 17! Birthday cake was outstanding.
