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.

Great ambiance but food left something to be desired. I ordered the grouper entree and the fish was overly salty. The coconut cake was mushy and the fruit compote tasted like chemicals.

Not one of our better visits - Lunch is always great - have done lunch many times.. This was second visit for dinner this trip - first evening everything was great!! service here is never an issue.. This second dinner visit - my wife's Mahi - was way over cooked - looked like a chicken breast. and my steak had a lot of waste, and was under cooked - rare was I got into it.. Again, service was friendly and attentive - but the entrees were a bust and we had not time to wait for recook - as we did not find the issues until we had gotten into the course...

My wife and I dined at Malmok because it was at our lodging and convenient. It’s basically an upscale beach club adjacent to the resort pool. I wasn’t expecting much, because it doesn’t look like much, but the food was better than average and the dinner entertainment, a very talented young man with a violin, certainly made up for the lack of ambiance. Service was a bit slow, but that may have been an anomaly. I was especially taken with the “Foungie”(?), which was served in place of bread. In American terms, it is deep-fried corn fritters, but better.

We went there to celebrate my friends birthday. I booked based on the reviews on OT that said casual dress, but when we got there. we realized it was the resorts pool/beach bar restaurant! We could have gone in shorts or a bathing suit and cover up, that part was very disappointing. We ate there anyway, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, answering all of our questions, we found that the chef and menu had recently changed, the food was excellent though, but you couldn't see the sunset because all of the beach palapas block the view. So overall, food and service were excellent but the atmosphere was super casual, not the place to celebrate a birthday.
