   Wa ate here earlier in the week and HAD to come back again. Everything was phenomenal. The food, the atmosphere, the people. Mattias was our server and he was so delightful and knowledgeable. If we lived in the area I guarantee we would be regulars. Get the beets! There’s so many amazing menu items and we almost didn’t get it. It was actually my favorite thing from this meal as it had flavors I had no idea worked together. Such a fun surprise. I could go on about each dish but just trust me- get it all. Thank you for the experience!

   After some disappointing experiences at other “nice” restaurants here in Aruba, finishing our trip at Lima Bistro provided a strong ending to our holiday. Service was prompt, staff were attentive and the food was excellent. Our server gave helpful explanations of unfamiliar dishes, and provided solid recommendations. Given the high quality of the food and excellent service, we found it to be a very good value; certainly the best of our trip.

    The food and service was exceptional. The server explained each dish we asked about since it was our first time there. We reserved our time at opening to beat the crowd. The place started filling up as we were leaving, so it was a wise decision. Highly recommend everything - appetizer, meal, dessert were great!

    The food was amazing! We had the daily ceviche and steak tar tar with black truffle shredded on top! Each bite was magical! After each dish you ate, they cleaned the table which was very great to see! I ordered the duck and it was the best duck I’ve ever had! Will definitely go back the next time we are in Aruba!!

    I love the atmosphere and food at Lima. It is a must visit every time I’m in Aruba. I was there the week it opened and this was my 7th dinner there. It’s located in Harbor House, downtown, near the cruise ship terminal not near the Palm Beach tourist area. The menu has a lot of options. The flavors are exquisite and the presentation amazing.

    Best meal I’ve had in a while. It was phenomenal. Went all out and got a bunch of starters. The scallops, crudo, salchipapas, and the special. All amazing but the crudo and the scallop were just magical and I am still still thinking about them. Also the cocktails were delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    We loved everything about the restaurant. The food was delicious and very inventive. The service was professional and our server was charming. The restaurant itself is very attractive. We tried Lima Bistro for the first time in January and we’re happy to be in Aruba now to try it again. We are returning to Aruba in January and look forward to dining with you again at that time.

    The dinner experience is just outstanding... Everything is excellent, and the cocktails (pisco sour) I ordered were very well balanced. The food (the weekly special) seafood rice japanese style was so tasty, and full of flavor that made my night. In the end, we ordered some dessert because my mom's birthday, and need to say that all of them (Childhood Strawberries, Pumpkin, and the Chocolate mousse) are delicious five starts, we finished all.

    Lima is a great place to have diner! The flavours are superb. Traditional with some Japanese twists. The portion sizes are great to share and give you the opportunity to try out as many dishes you want. Recommendations are: marketplace ceviche, crudo, the bread with spicy mustard and the miso fish! Also try their cocktails, especially the pisco sour. We didn’t need wine because of the quality of them. A great pearl of fine hospitality at the Oranjestad Harbour. Keep this up!

    Delicious inventive cuisine. Great seafood, beef and duck. Sublime sauces. Cool 50s, 60s jazz and Latin soundtrack. Chef has a marvelous team in the kitchen and front of the house. they go out of their way to make you feel glad you came. Location has a nice view and enough breeze to keep the flies away. Chef is adept at accommodating celiacs. Currently the best restaurant in Aruba IMHO.

    Best and most attentive service we’ve had in Aruba by far. The food was excellent. My son’s Tuna was the only miss, due to the overly sweet sauce. The other things we chose, apps, entrees, desserts and cocktails were all great and well-presented.

    Absolutely incredible! This is without a doubt one of, if not the best restaurants in Aruba. The food was superb and the service was extremely attentive. The depth and layering of flavors tasted like it had been cooked for hours and the unique food combinations were creative and delicious. We will certainly go back a few more times. There was also someone in our party with a severe allergy and the waitress assured us it could be accommodated. In addition, the executive chef and his son also came over to ease our concerns sharing they had the same allergy and was certain we would be fine. Talk about going above and beyond.

    Had a lovely dinner on the patio last night. I tried the scallop appetizer special and the duck entree special. It was so delicious I would have liked to have more than 2 slices of duck. Definitely had room for dessert which was the caramel creme. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

    This was my first time ever eating ceviche. It was a treat. I got the spicy special version with fried calamari on top. Big chunks of fish and raw hominy and cooked hominy plus tomatoes onions etc. a very large portion. Delicious. My wife had the beet appetizer and absolutely loved it. For dinner she got the fish special and I had the shrimp. Both were really good. Fish was a smaller portion but shrimp was really large portion. We sat outside and it was windy but enjoyable once we switched seats so my wife’s hair blew behind her. Highly recommended restaurant.
