- Sigalle BarnessDecember 9, 2021One of the best meals we had in Aruba. Get the grouper ceviche, goat cheese creme brûlée, sweet breads, Dover sole and grilled pineapple dessert! Service was lovely and DJ spun some great beats!

Jessica StalkerDecember 12, 2021Best meal on the island (and maybe off too)! The sole was the best fish I’ve ever had. Carpaccio and lamb were great as well and good martinis :)Upvote2Downvote
YuliaApril 7, 2015Get the goat cheese salad - (chèvre salad) it's delicious! For the main course I had the beef stew (I forget what it's called) and despite the very small bowl it's very filling and tastes really nice
