    Glad I didn’t listen to the negative reviews - my husband and I really enjoyed our meals! The potatoes were too salty but everything else was perfect. Will definitely be an annual meal for us!

    The restaurant is exceptionally beautiful. It offers three distinct ambiences, allowing you to choose the atmosphere that best suits your occasion (romantic, family, happy hour, etc.). We ordered a Caprese salad and a pizza, both of which were delicious. We were so hungry that we didn't take the time to photograph the dishes! Without a doubt, this would be our first choice to dine again.

    Incredible! So happy with this find after doing some research for places to eat in the Oranjestad/PalmBeach area. Service was phenomenal with the manager personally going to every table to say hi and thank everyone for being there. Honestly could not choose what to have for my meal and want to go back just to try more options. The market ceviche, mahi mahi and tuna steak were all a 10/10 with plentiful sides for a perfect meal. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Aruba!!

    Food is always good, service was very slow to start off especially for not a busy night. Once waitress came by things were good. Maybe it was a matter of figuring out who had our table. We had the chicken tacos and Korean tacos. The coconut flan is also yummy. There was a DJ and when we first sat down the music was so loud I couldn’t have a conversation with the person I was dining with. Not sure if someone complained but they turned the volume down a bit which was still loud but better.
