   This restaurant was recommended to us a few times for a great steak dinner. It turned out to be exactly what it is - an overpriced restaurant trying hard to be upscale. It was basically a crappy steakhouse inside a casino, with casino quality food. Our steak was dry, and our sides tasted like Gordon food frozen meals. They were also cold. Jean, our waiter was very kind and he’s the only reason I gave this a 3 star. We won’t be back.

   The food was exquisite! Perfect! Not one flaw! The drinks were a beautiful experience and the best tasting drunks I have ever had! The servers, waiters, bartender, manager and hostess were all welcoming and pleasant! This was hands down the best experience that I have ever had in any restaurant, in any country on any hemisphere!

   I was disappointed in the steak. I ordered the 8 oz filet mignon and found it to be tender but tasteless. The sides were good but on the small side.

   Grate ambience, extremely attentive staff, all portions presented professionally and timely. The General Manager made the point to come to our table to not only serve our wine, but to chat with us at the end of our meal. We have been coming to Aruba since 1998 and this was the best dining experience to date. We are from NJ/NY and I would place this experience with the best of them. The hotel and shopping center added to the amazing experiences for my wife and I. Looking forward to making this our go to spot when we visit this beautiful Island.

   Amazing experience…the cocktail cart was such a cool feature. The food was incredible but most of all the service was fantastic. Francisco and his crew treated us like royalty. We will definitely be back regularly.

    First off the service and attention to detail were very good all of the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was well prepared and for the most part tasty. The one thing is the steak I got the more expensive butchers experience ribeye and the steak was tough which makes me wonder on the quality of the meat. I am a steak guy and know the difference in a prime cut vs choice or select prime should not be this tough and I ordered it medium rare so it wasn't tough because it was overdone so it was disappointing especially since everything else was very good but come on it has steak in their name. Another thing that is BS we had a $46 service charge on the bill I asked wondering if they were including it as the gratuity and the waiter said no that's money that gets pooled to pay their salaries so I still tipped him on top of it but just seemed odd.
