    Everything was wonderful. The grouper ceviche and French onion soup were great. The grouper and shrimp dish also great. Apple strudel- again great. But good lord almighty, the wild boar shank was one of the best meals ever. There are two entrees I’ll always remember- an elk tenderloin on Muhu island in Estonia and this pork shank. AMAZING. Can’t say enough of the roasted beet risotto it came with either. Just do it, and thank me later.

    Our meal at The Journey was amazing. The experience was fantastic start to finish. The personalized experience, the small group setting, The personal touches from the welcome outside with drinks and conversation to the breakdown of each dish by the chef was a wonderful way to add more context and excitement to the meal. The food itself was amazing, each dish was so flavorful and unique. My wife and I are not big seafood eaters but both agreed the snapper dish was our absolute favorite of the night. I would recommend anyone who wants to experience some of the best food in Aruba to go here. We are excited to come back next year and see what new exiting dishes there will be to try.
