Stopped by to grab a drink and a burger after a long day of travelling. Staff was super nice, burger was good. They do daily specials and prices are reasonable overall Nice spot on the water, close to cruise terminal and city centre.

Service can vary depending on the time of the day. Thankfully, we were seated right away & menu was given within 5 minutes. We grabbed Shrimp Alfredo & Steak A La Caballo. Steak was great with the chimichurri sauce but shrimp alfredo wasn’t the best coz the cheese was hard 🧀. Will come back to try other food for sure.

My husband and I went there twice. Food was reasonably priced and average in taste. Good size portions. Beautiful ocean view. The issue I have is that there are so many pigeons. The tables are cleaned off but then the pigeons are everywhere and we wander about sanitary conditions. It would help if they cleaned off the table one more time after seating guests.

One of our favorite spots in Aruba. We kept coming back here for drinks and a quick bite because the atmosphere was always fun and relaxed. Great place to sit, unwind, and enjoy.
