Glad I didn’t listen to the negative reviews - my husband and I really enjoyed our meals! The potatoes were too salty but everything else was perfect. Will definitely be an annual meal for us!

We've been coming to the Stellaris 5 of the last 6 years now and always enjoy the breakfast outside at Mercat. We hadn't had dinner there before as we usually ventured out for dinner, but thought we'd try it for convenience. The service was excellent as always, and the outdoor patio is quite pleasant at night. Where it fell down was the food. We had shared the Tuna Tartare to start which was elegantly presented, but way too salty as it was mixed with capers. My wife had the Greek Salad with Salmon and again, salmon was way over salted and the salad itself was underwhelming. I had the Branzino which was a little overcooked and a few garnish potatoes, but should've really had a full side given the premium they charge.

Nice outdoor option, indoor available as well. Food was okay and about what I’ve grown to expect in Aruba. A solid okay, nothing more nothing less.

The restaurant was very nice, food was very good, they had a Branzino that was filleted which is nice as it is so often served whole. Service was excellent.

Food was excellent . We chose to sit on the porch because the noise level from the number of people and the DJ were extremely loud.

As always service and food were excellent. My only constructive criticism is the coffee cup. We like our coffee hot and as soon the lovely server poured it into the wide, shallow and cold cup the coffee goes from hot to cold in matter of minutes. I would love to have a taller/narrower cup instead of the wide and shallow one.
