    We dined at Malmok for dinner. Both of our meals and our calamari appetizer were very good and large portions. Our server was very friendly. The next time we're back we will frequent Malmok. One thing we would like to see is to have sandwiches or wraps offered during the dinner hour.

    Have had great breakfast and lunch at Malmok. Dinner is not good. The menu is somewhat limited, the food is just "OK". the calamari was over cooked, the seafood pasta had a thin flavorless sauce, the Mahi Mahi was tasty but dry. The brownie and ice cream desert was delicious! The service is always great! Apparently on weekends or when they are not busy they offer things like burger and fries for dinner but it's not on the menu. This restaurant never seems busy for dinner and I have to conclude that it's the menu. Many people approached the hostess counter and looked at the menu and then walked away. It's a wonderful location, I really hope the dinner menu changes in the future. I recommend for breakfast and lunch but not dinner!

    Nicole was so kind and gave us wonderful service! They were very flexible with the menu and let us change our site options with the course meal. I have the lobster with the quinoa, rice combo and the cannellini beans.  Fantastic! The cocktails were equally as good. They had live music that was not too obtrusive really enjoyable! I would highly recommend.

    We stayed at the Surf Club and were so happy that we walked by this amazing restaurant just outside our adjacent resort - the Ocean Club. Ate breakfast there every day of our 7 day getaway because we enjoyed Audrey (best server ever) and the rest of their staff. The iced coffee was the best, and so was the food! My mom and I tried everything on the menu and just loved every bite. 5 stars all the way! A great way to start each day!

    We ate there several times during our stay in Aruba. Food was very good, Tuna, Strip Steak, Shrimp. The server Denise was excellent with a wonderful sense of humor. Music was provided by a Violin player who was also excellent. It's a quiet, non fancy gem amongst all the restaurant reservation craziness of the island. Lunch isn't bad either!! I forgot to mention it's practically on the beach - great location, very casual-can walk from beach to table.

    In one word - awful for dinner. Upon entering our server adamantly denied bring part of Open Table, forgot to bring us water and advised there was no grouper. When I pressed on the Open Table issue she walked away in a huff and said to wait for the manager. After 5 minutes with no manager we left and went to Ruth Chris. This was not acceptable service at a higher price point - would definitely avoid for dinner but can’t comment on whether they’re better for breakfast or lunch.

    The restaurant only had 1 waitress working and only 1 person in the kitchen. We had to keep asking for more water and drinks b/c she was covering so many tables by herself. If they look short on staff, please go somewhere else. Your looking at an expensive and very long dinner. This might be a great lunch spot only based on the March reviews. Also…when I booked on OpenTable…I noted that we were celebrating multiple birthdays. They didn’t acknowledge nor said anything. A solid 1 out of 5 stars….b/c there isn’t a zero star rating.

    There was a mixed up with reservation which was corrected. Tried to make reservation but online booking said none available for 5:30. Walked in at the time 5:30 which I arranged with staff and the place was empty. Asked for water with lemon. Got the water only and noticed black things floating at the bottom of both glasses. Asked for new water and got new ones with our appetizer of fried calamari which took almost 30 minutes and arrived at our table cold. We were the only table for that time until another couple arrived. Also too many flies around our food so I ask for our main course to go. The salmon entrée was very good.

    Restaurant was not that crowded for New Year’s Eve. Food was quite good. One diner had skirt steak. One had the seafood pasta. One had scallops and the others all had other fish. Location on beach was nice. Kids could play chess or checkers. Prices were okay.
