    Lima Bistro provided us with an exceptional dining experience that we'll cherish forever. It was my wife's birthday, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The attentive staff ensured that our evening was perfect. The highlight was the food – each dish was a culinary masterpiece. Not only was it delicious, but it was also served promptly, which was greatly appreciated. We were pleasantly surprised when, at the end of our meal, the staff presented us with a beautifully decorated cake, complete with my wife's name on it. It was a delightful gesture that made the celebration even more special. Overall, our time at Lima Bistro was marked by outstanding food, impeccable service, and a thoughtful birthday surprise. It's a memory we'll always cherish.

    Must Go!!! Where to start? This place is a wonderful find!! Didnt know what to expect when walking up- but immediately knew we were somewhere special. Immaculately decorated, lovely dining ware and perfectly lit space. Service was impeccable. The young staff is well versed on the menu, tastes and how to treat their diners. The bread and butter was delightful… wanted more for sure, but knew was best to leave space for dinner. Dinner was amazing. Well spiced, but not spicy…each bite made me smile.

    This Peruvian restaurant offers a wide variety of eclectic appetizers and entrees. Each is unusual, excellent and worthy of a try. The staff was amazing and made excellent suggestionse. The servers are extremely knowledgeable about each individual course. The scallop appetizer was unique and delicious. The tuna tartar was the best I have ever had…and I order it frequently. Both diners enjoyed the lobster sous vide. Servings were generous. Wine selection was very broad and well selected. . Can’t wait to come back next year.

    Good, but expensive for what you get. Appetizer scallops and the ceviche were average. Main course tuna steak best dish of the night, but pork loin was tough.

    Some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Try and get a seat at the bar inside so you can watch the cooks in action. Incredible food, good drinks, nice atmosphere inside (preferred in over the outside deck). Loved this restaurant and every bite we savored.

    If you dont like seafood then this is not the place for you. I had reviewed the menu online prior to going however they changed the menu without updating it online. I tried the red snapper but i was very chewy. Waitress didn't even offer to refund the entree after she recommended the snapper and asked me how it was. Poor Customer Service. I would stay away from this restaurant. Also, it was in an unattractive area in a corner.

    Best restaurant in Aruba - perhaps one of our favorites anywhere we’ve traveled. From start to finish, it was absolutely delicious. The scallop appetizer was one of the most interesting things we’ve had, and the Lomo Saltado was one of the most flavorful, delicious entrees I’ve ever had. The sauce and the meat were incredible. Other things we tried were also delicious. The ceviche was unique and flavorful. Even the bread provided was special and tasty. Don’t skip the French Toast dessert. The decor and style was beautiful and the staff was attentive and kind. We’ve eaten at quite a few Michelin star restaurants, and this ranks higher than many of them. Highly recommend! If I had one night in Aruba, without a doubt, I’d spend it at Lima Bistro.

    Flavors of the dishes were nice however the calamari dish along with the octopus were over cooked and the rice paired with the tuna was under cooked. Had high hopes for this place due to the positive reviews so pretty disappointing to say the least.
