   Beautiful outdoor restaurant in a boutique hotel. We had a 745 reservation, was offered the worst table, in front of kitchen. Eva, knows no one wants that table. Was offered a romantic quiet table by the pool, we opted to wait for another table, which was fine. Sat by 8. They also have a beautiful singer during dinner. Ordered drinks, waited 20 minutes for a soda and martini. Was rushed to order apps by waitress ordered capreses salad and bread basket. That took 40 minutes. Don’t order bread. Didn’t know that they give Then we waited, couldn’t get waitress, owner never checked on us, finally at 930, our meals came w waitress. Not what we ordered at all!! Apologies, quickly now, had our correct dinners within 10 minutes, and it was very good. My husband asked for another soda and was charged for it, I was offered another drink or glass of wine on waitress, declined, funny, my husband wasn’t offered and didn’t get. Waitress insisted on buying us dessert. Asked for the chocolate cake w gelato. It was a dry brownie. So would I go back, yes, thought food was good, singer was good, pretty place, just be on top of server and make sure you ask not to have table by kitchen!!

   Food was overcooked and almost inedible. They even forgot to put dressing on the plate for the salads, which they only did after remaking my meal. Server was not familiar with the menu. There are so many better places to go.

   Beautiful beautiful space and lovely servers. The service given is quite excellent and food  is exceptionally varied and very tasty and beautifully presented Cocktail presentations are very beautiful. The hook given for the purse is so helpful. Very easy to make reservations and they are very helpful as we drove there. The parking was very convenient.

   The food was very good and fresh. I really appreciated the communication with Eva about ordering the paella ahead of our reservation. It was worth it! My fellow diners had the tuna and loved it. We had a bit of an issue with the timing of our entrees but the staff were very accommodating and lovely. I would go back on my next trip

   My new favorite restaurant in Aruba due to the setting- outdoor sunset view of the water- the food- delicious paella and coquilles st jacque- fabulous cocktails and impeccable service.

    My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Ocean Z. We had dinner just before sunset. Miriam, our server was spectacular. She was very aware and prompt to service us, whether it was removing an empty plate, refreshing our drinks or adding a fan to cool us from the heat. We highly recommend this restaurant.
