   The food was amazing, the server was very helpful explaining the different dishes and the manager was terrific! Sally as engaging, helpful and appreciative of the business! We liked it so much that Sally helped us to make a second reservation for this week. We will go back in March as well when we are back! We highly recommend Lima Bistro!!

   I recently dined at Lima Bistro in Aruba and was blown away by the unique flavors and beautiful presentation of their Peruvian cuisine. The complementary bread and homemade butter with a delicious mustard and mayo sauce was the perfect start to my meal. My highlight was the tuna tostada, which was incredibly fresh and the sauces were out of this world. I also tried the beef anticucho, which was delicious with a variety of sauces. I even tried the special short rib of the day, which was good but I'd rather try other entrées next time. The atmosphere, food, drinks, and service were all top-notch. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this restaurant for a fantastic dining experience

   What a 💎! We loved everything, especially the scallops and sauce on the fresh fish entree. There was a weird thing where our drink orders didn’t arrive, but the everyone was very apologetic.

   The food was outstanding, I have been there before and it doesn’t disappoint. The cocktails were perfectly made to our requests. Our waitress Nancy took time to explain each dish to us in detail. Appetizers were delicious, we had three different meals and they were all fabulous. I will definitely go again.

    Server good; however, ordered the pichanta, and when it came and when I took a bite, it was stringy and chewy to the point you were afraid to swallow, so you would not choke. Our waiter asked how things were, he walked away. My husband then called him back a few minutes after, and he asked if I wanted it replaced. Tuna was much better. It was good, not great overall. No particular complaint. Except for the waiter taking off when I explained it was chewy snd difficult to swallow. Nit a bad experience, but, would I return during our 3 weeks here ir next year, No!

    We only had appetizers which filled us up just fine. All of them were wonderful. Ceviche, scallops, shrimp, beets, more fish (I forget which ones exactly). Wonderfully presented and delicious! The wine selection is also quite nice; the Sancerre was great. Not the cheapest place of course, but well worth the investment. We'll be back!

    Geweldig gegeten. Echt fantastisch, ook de ambiance is top. Het enige dat ik werkelijk vreselijk vind is dat de bediening een soort American style afgericht is als Pavlov hondjes. Hello how are you I am here to serve you met zo’n plastic namaak glimlach. De bediening bestaat uit leuke, lieve mensen die dat nepgedoe helemaal niet nodig hebben!

    Stopped in for dinner last night because we wanted to try this place. Nice views overlooking the harbor, but probably not so good if cruise ships are in since there is a dock right there. We started with the beef anticucho, which was skewers of beef superbly spiced with Peruvian spices. My wife had the duck and she said it was the best she's ever had on the island or at home. I had the special which was skirt steak with Peruvian spices. They were able to swap out the tempura for broccolini. My meal was excellent; the meat was cooked perfectly, and the server didn't even ask how I wanted it; she must have read my mind! The chocolate mouse at the end of the meal was a perfect finale. As good as the food was, the service was excellent. Cecilia was our server and she was friendly, checked back often to see how we were, pre bussed and cleaned the tables and had an excellent grasp on the menu, as we had asked questions. Additionally, Maria, the manager, was floating around the patio checking in on guests and pre bussing tables as well. The only thing they could have done better was have the food runners not auction off the food. Prices are not cheap, but it is a fine dining restaurant and well worth it. I don't toss out 5 star ratings unless it's deserved, and this place earned it. Probabaly one of the top 5 dinining experiences we've ever had on the island in the 15+ years we've been coming. Well worth stopping in.

    Exceptional restaurant is the heart of Oranjestad. The menu is filled with great Peruvian street food and Peruvian influences. From the locally made bread to the fresh seafood appetizers you won’t be disappointed if you just got a bunch of small plates to share. The service was top-notch, very attentive but also personable. One of the best spots in Aruba.
