   I ordered a short rib steak. The first serving was cold, so I returned. The second try was wormer, but only for a couple of minutes. We also had pork belly as an appetizer. Both dishes were dry and tasted like it was prepared days before. Awful food, especially if you pay top money; you feel like you are being poorly cheated. That was our second attempt. We had a similar experience a year ago, but the waiter told us that the chef was not there and the crew was a bit lost, so we got a second chance. Never again. It's an overpriced restaurant with terrible food. Stay away. There are many other options in Aruba.

   The ambiance, the food and most importantly, the service by Nicholas was exceptional! His recommendations were on point and he was a delight to talk to. Shrimp and Feta appetizers were scrumptious. We could not have asked for a better experience. He is a treasure!

   I will keep this short but I have now been a few times, this is for sure the best restaurant in Palm Beach and maybe the best restaurant in all of aruba. I would HIGHLY recommend visiting... the quality of the beef is AMAZING

   Reservations recommended on the weekends. Everyone from the parking attendant to our servers were incredibly friendly. The service was great for a very busy restaurant. Our food was excellent. Highly recommend the Branzino, it was seared on one side and the flavor was amazing, one of the best preparations I’ve had. The Chilean sea bass was very good as well. The Black Forest brownie was decadent. Will be back on our next visit to Aruba. Thank you!

   The best restaurant in Aruba! I went twice in one week and had the skirt steak both times. Cooked to perfection. I got the chimichurri sauce but no need for sauce as the steak is flavorful on its own. Mashed potatoes are the best I’ve ever had. The corn side dish was also so flavorful with cheese and Latin spices. Also, we loved the croquettes and chicharrones appetizers. The wine selection was also on point. Azar lives up to the hype!

   The charred octopus is outstanding! Must try! The lamb chops are so tender and perfectly made to my order of medium! The coconut flan dessert is fabulous. Ask for Joey. He is a wonderful server, so responsive and fun! Cocktails were excellent, order the Holy Water!!!
