   What a wonderful experience. Chef Patrick and his wonderful team present a memorable culinary experience. The food is thoughtfully, lovingly, and meticulously prepared with attention given to every detail. Delicious flavors and fresh ingredients combined in such creative ways. The wine pairings are simply perfect. We appreciated the special butterfly adornments to commemorate our anniversary. Chef and his staff are approachable, welcoming, and warm. The setting is so comfortable. We will be back!

   A wonderful evening enjoying Chef Patrick’s culinary vision! His passion for food is deftly expressed with each thoughtfully curated course. The intimate design of the evening- only a few tables are served each night- allowed Chef and his assistant, Jeremy, to engage with guests and share their experiences that have shaped this concept. Chef prepares 5 courses, with each harmoniously balancing depth and complexity. An optional wine pairing is a delightful complement to the meal. This was my first journey with Chef Patrick but am already looking forward to another when I return to Aruba next year. Aruba has many wonderful excursions but Chef Patrick’s “journey” is one you should put at the top of your list!

   The experience starts at 7 kind of. It actually started around 7:15 with sparkling wine and a small appetizer. This meal ended at 10:30, with an intermission at 9ish. This meal was way too long and late for our table. The food was good, but the time it took to have the meal ruined it for us. Would be much better if they started at 6:00 and got rid of the intermission. We were ready to go at the intermission. The chef was really nice and a delight to talk to. He is definitely a master of his art.

   The Journey was the best meal we had all week in Aruba! We have loved the cooking of Chef Patrick van der Donk since we first discovered him 14 years ago at Amuse Bistro. With The Journey he has truly taken things to the next level. Delicious and interesting food paired perfectly with lovely wines along with friendly and helpful servers. It’s worth going to Aruba just so you can eat at The Journey!

   Poor wine parings, soso food not worth the money - chef was more into selfies than food

   Dear Mr Jim, Thank you for your time to write us a review. We appreciate all the feedback we can get. Unfortunately, we did not meet your expectations for the night and apologize for this. We do take our service and food serious. During the night we indeed do invite all our guests to come and have a look at the preparation of the dishes and have a possibility to ask some questions to Chef Patrick. This is part of our concept. We would like to invite you back during your next visit on us, to give us another chance to make it up to you.
