Definitely suggest for a beach side lunch or brunch with great views of the sea and delicious meals. The Calamari was the most tender calamari I have ever had and wings and quesadilla was best of their kinds.

This restaurant managed to provide such a great service even when it was crowded and full house. I was blown away with the service, the food and the great atmosphere. We ordered a couple of cocktails and the Bimini Bread with Aruba Glaze. We shared the crispy calamari and everything was delicious. The peppers served on the plate complemented the calamari dish very nicely. I ordered the seafood quesadilla and it was fantastic, lots of well seasoned pieces of shrimps and very tasty seafood. Our server was phenomenal, she was professional, attentive, friendly and very cordial. We loved the music that was played live and even danced. We really enjoyed our afternoon and overall experience!

With the best location in town they still have affordable prices and good food. been here many times and will keep coming back as long as they keep up the great work. Their portions are very good too. I walked out stuffed.

Our experiences started out kind of negative but ended up being a great experience. We had quite a time navigating horrendous traffic and parking to get there so we were not in a good frame of mind. We were seated immediately but no one came to the table for several minutes. A manager came through looking for empty tables and we were able get his attention and told him we had not seen a server. He immediately sent a very pleasant server to take care of us. She explained that the server who should have had out table was swamped with some big parties so she took our table. She did an excellent job and I'm sorry I didn't get her name. We did notice then that the place was full of large parties (6, 8, 10+) so it was understandable that things got a little backed up. We complimented her and thanked her for taking good care of us when she brought out check. We left her a good tip. BTW, the food was really good. Only negative is that they were out of the conch fritters.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
