    Anniversary dinner - Got there 545pm for 6pm reservation - Staff busy rearranging due to recent rain no problem and we understand - seated at 610pm got bread then no one acknowledged us until 640pm We stoped waitress who was serving people to the left of us . Not sure if our table was overlooked as everyone was being taken care of but this one table for two. We stopped the waitress serving people to the left of us and instead of listening to our concerns - she got defensive, loud, unprofessional, making 101 excuses. Made us feel very unwelcome so we got up to leave but I stopped asking for a manager on my way out just to let them know what happened - I got a supervisor who told us to let’s go back and make it right. She was professional, friendly, kind and took care of us the rest of the evening personally. Her name was Jessica. Passions is lucky to have Jessica on staff. She took it upon herself to try to correct others failings. All servers definitely need some customer service and service recovery training . We understand errors happen but it’s how you deal with it. Jessica was A+ in trying to recover what was a terrible start.

    Nice views if the beach isn’t occupied. Watch the weather forecast as you have to scramble to get under an umbrella. Appetizers and the soups were good but our seafood dishes were over cooked.

    Lovely spot on the water and sand. We were there for New Years Eve and it was truly lovely. The food is also very good. We both had fresh fish which is really a treat. The service was slow and a little inattentive but better than being rushed.

    Three of the four of us enjoyed our choices, best chicken dish of the vacation in fact. Service was adequate but a bit overwhelmed/scattered/rushed/impersonal for the holiday I would say. We had to ask for bread service & they didn’t acknowledge the birthday we were celebrating which was disappointing. We ordered a dessert to share but it didn’t come with a birthday plate or candle.

    This restaurant is one of my favorite on the island! The food, ambience and service are just outstanding! Toes in the sand while dining and looking at the sunset is just an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful experience at Passions on NYE. Food was delicious, beautiful sunset and our server Denise was awesome. Can't wait to return on our next trip to Aruba.

    The worst dinner I’ve had on the island. I ordered the fish of the day. The server stated it was grilled grouper. I received it undercooked and COLD. It didn’t taste like grouper at all. My husband had the mushroom truffle chicken pasta and it was delicious. We had to ask our server for the bill several times and waited at least 15 minutes for him to bring it. It was not very busy. We go to the bar at Passions all the time. The bartenders know us and service is great. Unfortunately, drinks will be the only thing we order in the future.
