While strolling the downtown area, we came across a place that will become a destination for all of our future Aruba trips. Without a particular plan, or reservation, we wandered in for a drink. Immediately, we were so courteously welcomed. This restaurant has so much charm, and warmth, also a cozy outside patio. The staff was so nice, and attentive. ( Rose and Laura). The owner, offered us a sample of their distinctive menu, which was amazing. The Moscow Mule, and Pineapple Mojito were equally delicious. We ordered appetizers, and dessert, even though we weren't that hungry!. It was such a comfortable feeling we had there, we made reservations for another night before we left. Our dinner was also a fantastic experience. The owner is a remarkable person, with a dedication and passion for excellence. Roseann and Rich

From a spectacular, converted building with a quasi-outdoor experience and an extremely unique menu, every offering is amazing. This restaurant and soon-to-be, Italian steak dinner restaurant next-door with a sister tapas restaurant next-door to that inspired us to do a second group dinner on our sales trip to Aruba in March 2020. This visit we did just dinner after sampling appetizers at Barefoot. The owner and manager and waiter were all amazing and we were elated over the experience and service we received. We even got a tour of the new Italian steak restaurant next-door. I donât have words to describe the unique menu offerings and the flavor that each dish had. Everything from dinner to desert and martinis were over the top. Our waiter was the brother of the bartender who made the awesome secret martini of the night. The quality of everything is truly special. We are excited to return next March and share this experience with our colleagues

My husband and I ate here after reading reviews and it did not disappoint! We made reservations but it wasnât necessary on the particular night we went. Overall food was fabulous, lots of selections on the menu. We both had soup appetizers and they were both filling and delicious! Our waiter Rocky was knowledgeable and professional, and we were also greeted by the owner Jose. Only disappointment was that they were out of Tiramisu when we went! Guess we may have to come back. Oh and the atmosphere was lovely, elegant and relaxing but not stuffy.

This is a fun place to stop by and check out the rock formations, and then have lunch at the cafe... They have great sandwiches, cold drinks and cheap beers (cheaper than the resorts!)!!! Oh yeah, ice cream too! On Wednesday nights they have a jazz band (always very good!) and great dinners.. Sunday nights they have a BBQ and live music.. We always enjoy going here when we are in Aruba (8 times so far!)....

Very nice outdoor setting on the beach. Service was top notch as was the food. A little on the pricy side, but considering the ambiance and the whole package, worth the money. Go at sunset.

Wonderful meal from start to finish!! Nice bottle of wine Shrimp Cocktail, Cesar Salad, Surf and turf, Flank Steak followed by Baked Alaska.. Even though the meal was great the service, sunset and total experience was even better. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. They even provide a 25th Anniversary and Birthday surprise for US!! Romel was the star of the show!!!

Where to begin-with the completely charming owner Mr. Didi Donker who gave my husband and me an impromptu tour of the restaurant when we stopped by the evening before? Or perhaps our excellent server Sheila who calls you âsweetheartâ. Or the fact that you may sit on a deck overlooking a gorgeous lagoon and watch the fish swimming around next to you drawn by the water lights and the bread you may feed them? Other than those wonderful reasons the Fish available changes as it is whatever was caught that morning! Delicious does not fully describe the food. We highly recommend the grilled barracuda but imagine any fish cooked to its perfection (as ours was) would be great! Enjoy!PS Their signature drink was also terrific but we forget the name. Perhaps because we had two??
