    We went to Aqua today for the first time. We were really excited as we based this decision off of OpenTable ratings being #2 for restaurants in Aruba. Sadly I did not experience nor think they should be as highly ranked. The options they had all sounded great which also got me excited although when arriving to the table and finally eating I wondered where all the flavors went? My dish was a seafood pasta dish with creole sauce- it tasted like warmed up tomato sauce with not even salt in it. I have had creole food in the past and they are known for their bright and unique flavors. I did not experience this. It may be a place for some people but if you are looking for a total WOW experience for food this was not it.

    It was a lovely evening. We got there 20 minutes prior to our reservation and were seated right away. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, our server Claudia came over to ask what weā€™d like to drink. We ordered drinks and appetizers and they were perfect! My Cosmopolitan was just as I asked, not too strong, and for the apps, we got Crab Cakes and the Tuna Tartar, both equally delicious. My husband had the Fishermanā€™s Platter, which was an assortment of mixed fried seafood with sweet plantains, and I had the Mahi Mahi. The Mahi was very tasty along with the mixed vegetables and coconut rice-a personal fave, and the platter was flavorful and abundant. We were so full and and had the remaining to go, and unfortunately had no room for dessert! I did however look at the menu and would have picked multiple items off of it if I had room! This is a definite must try when in Aruba!

    Great eatery with excellent service. The grlled tuna steak and seafood tagliatelle were outstanding! Kids fish was not a hit with our little fish eater, who prefers finger food. Joyce and team provided 5/5 service!

    Food was just ok but expensive. I do not like the automatic service charge. I tip on quality of service and do not like it mandated so they wonā€™t get more because I donā€™t like being told
