I arrived on the early side for dinner so it wasn’t very busy which was nice. They had outdoor seating with cover and fans so that was a great option Yi sit out and enjoy dinner. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it was ok. It wasn’t very flavorful. I thought it would have some island spices but it was just regular fried rice. The side salsa were really good but one was very spicy. Great portion for the price, I took the rest with me for lunch the next day. I didn’t try much else on the menu but this place was recommended to me for fresh food and I think it was ok. There are probably some better dishes on the menu. The fresh tamarind juice was perfectly sweet and delicious. Waitstaff was awesome too. Thanks for a nice dinner. I would recommend this restaurant based on the overall experience along with cost/value.
We brought our fresh fish that we caught in the morning. King Fish. They prepared it grilled, fried and blackened. Delicious. Service was fast Servers were on top of things. Price was less because we provided our own fish. Ask for their papaya hot sauce.
First time here tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. The calamari, deep fried grouper and seafood pasta were crazy good! Great value and we have lunch for tomorrow. Alan and Jean-Paul were super kind and courteous. Actually all of the staff were amazing and attentive. I would definitely come back here again. One of the best restaurants we have been to. Enjoy!!
We were recommended Red Fish by a local that said this was the best place for whole fried red snapper. Not only was it super fresh and perfectly prepared both so were the sides. The staff as very friendly and welcoming. The homemade flan is definitely made with love! If the owners of this restaurant read this review, I wanted to mention that John Paul is a great asset to your business and really understands what great customer service is all about. This is my new go to fish restaurant in Aruba!
Visit 7/15/2026. Everything was excellent at this place. Was greeted well. Atmosphere was excellent!! Music was playing in the background! The food was excellent. We tried the fish hot plate which was mahi mahi and the shrimp hot plate in garlic sauce! It was excellent!! The blue fish drink was good as well. Mr. Alvin and Mr. Webster treated us well. They explained the food to us. They were very welcoming Thank you for a great experience.
