   On our last night of staying in Aruba, we decided to try this place… we loved it! When we arrived, we were placed by an outdoor table, probably because they had live singer performing, but asked to be seated inside. This restaurant is on the intimate side and most of the seating for dinner is outside in front of the hotel which is by the parking lot. For us, inside was perfect—Quiet & relaxed. We could still hear the singer. The two drinks I got were well crafted. The food was really good and so far it’s been the highest quality of dining that we’ve had on the island. We tried their escargot, onion soup, porcini risotto, linguine pasta with shrimp and lobster, and tiramisu all of which were great. Big shoutout to Andres who tended to us frequently and gave great food and drink recommendations. And to the owner who went to each table and spoke to everyone who dined that evening. Overall we were very pleased with the meal and service. We will definitely come back.

   The restaurant was incredible! The staff was exceptionally attentive, going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. There was a talented singer performing light music, who even took song requests, adding a special touch to the evening. We’ll definitely be returning!

   This was our first time dining at Ocean Z. The restaurant is in a beautiful boutique hotel. The atmosphere, the delicious food and the impeccable service combined makes for a wonderful experience.

   Had high hopes for this highly recommended restaurant. Outside seating very warm with little circulation. Service was mediocre. Water glasses were not refilled for at least 10 minutes and at a restaurant that charges 21$ for a crock of French Onion Soup you would expect more. Waitress had to be reminded 2X that we were still waiting on a martini we ordered earlier. Shrimp seemed overcooked. Dinners were ok. With all the restaurants in Aruba this is one I would not return to. Restaurant seems overrated and overpriced.
