Aqua Grill seafood restaurant in Aruba is set in a contemporary décor combining the traditions of a New England fish house with the ease and character of the Caribbean, it didn’t take long for Aqua Grill to enjoy a loyal local and tourist following on the island. The award-winning chef’s philosophy of combining both classic seafood dishes with contemporary cuisine and presentations quickly put Aqua Grill on the short list of must-dines with the concierges of Aruba’s fine resorts. Aqua Grill also reaped accolades from such prestigious travel publications as Fodor’s, who says, “This hip restaurant is heaven on earth for seafood lovers, who will find fresh fish galore…”

    I strongly believe management needs to take a closer look at this restaurant and ask, “What could we be doing better?” Unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. Here are the key issues we encountered: •Service: It took far too long for our server to approach us for drink orders, and once we placed them, the drinks took another 15 minutes to arrive. •Food: The appetizers (took 30 minutes )were a major disappointment. The octopus was unappetizing, and the lobster mac and cheese was inedible. While the rest of the food was fair at best, I ended up feeling sick later that evening, which was deeply concerning. •Ambiance: The atmosphere felt neglected. The lighting was harsh and uninviting, and there didn’t seem to be any real thought or care put into creating a pleasant dining environment. •Cleanliness: The bathrooms were a particular low point, with dirty conditions and soaking wet floors that were both unappealing and unsanitary. Overall, it felt as though the restaurant wasn’t concerned about its patrons or the quality of the experience it offers. I truly hope someone who cares about this establishment will take these concerns seriously and work to improve it. Guests deserve better, especially when they’re paying a premium to dine there.

    The oysters were very good but the white horse radish didn’t have much flavor.. i ordered the swordfish steak thick it cane out medium thick— the edge of the fish had the skin on it— which i don’t like and never had it that way.. the swordfish wasn’t moist and was dried on the inside.. I complained and the server offered dessert..and they didn’t have Aperol spritz.. We have been there many times and this was not a good one

    Food was great with chef Georgette! Our server Claudia was exceptional, and all of the staff was very attentive. We had the crabcake for an appetizer, which was delicious. My husband had the swordfish, and I had the halibut, and both were phenomenal. By far the best dinner we have had on the island this trip!

    Fantastic place to dine in Aruba, great ambience, good food and the service was impeccable! All staff from the hostess to all service staff and bus staff were extremely polite and attentive. We had Joyce serving us and she did a fantastic job and the lovely manager stopped multiple times to see how we were enjoying our experience I would highly recommend this restaurant and would most definitely dine here again.

    The outside seats are next to a McDonald drive thru. It was very noisy. Fisherman s platter was not good. The grouper was very good.
