We have been coming to Aruba over the last 10+ years and this is by far one of the best dining experiences we have ever had here on the island. The food was amazing!!!! Exceptional taste and presentation. I had the pork tenderloin and my wife had the Dover Sole. 5 stars to both. The staff was very attentive all our needs. We will go back.

One of the favorite meal experiences on the island. The Drunken Rabbit and Oostends stews were exceptional as well as the Varkenshaasje and Koninginnehapje. The staff was very attentive to our party and enjoyed everything. Would definitely visit again!

Everything was excellent. The atmosphere was festive because we sat outside and there was lots of people And music. Even though we were outside we could still converse comfortably. The food was excellent and some unique choices. Service was also right on target. I would recommend this restaurant.

The food was spectacular and liked the ambiance. Unfortunately I started to feel ill and the staff was amazing. Called in a favor with a friend to quickly take my family and I back to the resort. Not how I planned on the evening going but they were wonderful. They also packed up our main entrees we hadn’t recieved yet so we could enjoy bake at our hotel.

We arrived early but being on a busy street the empty space filled quickly after we were seated. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We had excellent cocktails to start followed by delicious escargot as an appetizer. Our dinners of grouper with shrimp and mussels with fries were hot and delicious. The Belgian waffle with chocolate and strawberries was a perfect ending to the tasty meal. Service was on point all night. A great spot for a great mix of island and European food.
