The experience with the Friday night brunch underwhelmed us. While you can choose anything from the menu, the dishes are tiny and the food tasted generally bland. We only ate the seafood and vegetable dishes so cannot comment on meats. All the pasta was over cooked and seafood did not taste fresh. Desserts were pretty awful. The bread was excellent though! The service was very rushed and we kept being asked to order the next dish every other minute. Food was served fast but the pressure to keep ordering was uncomfortable. Maybe that’s what some guests want but we made clear we wanted to take it slowly and the pressure didn’t subside. Our glasses of (low quality) Prosecco were constantly refilled though (in lieu of very sweet peach Bellinis). Waiters were pleasant enough but it was all just very mechanical and impersonal. The ambience feels very dated with those pink-purple lights and carpets. It’s very 90’s and seems designed for a certain type of tourist, although we saw plenty of locals celebrating special occasions there. Overall very disappointing for us, as we had been recommended this as one of the top traditions of Aruba.

Very disappointing food. Everything was Bland and flavorless , and very small portions for the price. Type of food you would expect to be served in a senior living center. Had the creme bru le for dessert , only came with 1 blackberry, did they expect us to cut it in half ? … put a few pieces , never seen anything like that before. Ambiance of restaurant was only saving grace , but would have had a much better meals elsewhere.

Great seating, view and ambiance. It’s a pity the service was not up to par. I waited 30min between dishes and I had to wave one of the waiters twice for a refill of my drink, as my own waiter was nowhere in sight. Only then, another waiter had noticed that we were not getting proper service and advised us to get a few dishes in one shot because the kitchen was stuck. I told her, that we were specifically told by our waiter that it was only possible to order 1 dish at a time. When she spoke to him, he then suggested we take more. It’s a pity, because ultimately the service makes the experience.

We dined there last year two times during our Aruba vacation, it was incredible. This year extremely disappointing. The restaurant was loud , food took longer and not up to standard . The beef was tough and we sent it back still not edible when it was prepared again. We were not able to try different items because of the delay in preparation. We asked for Miguel who was attentive and always a great server.Not sure if we will return. Not

This was our first time at windows on aruba. The food was very good, fresh and reasonably priced/similar to most places on the island. Fresh HOT breads (2 different kinds) delivered to the table after ordering entrees. The view is beautiful, overlooking the golf course... we enjoyed the sunset from our seats. Our waitress Mildred was very kind and attentive! Entrees we had as a group of 5.... Stuffed Shrimp Pan-fried Grouper (the thickest, most tender I've had anywhere on the island so far) Lobster ravioli Oyster soup Would highly recommend for dinner as a group or a romantic dinner for two.

Hostess was exceptional, waiter very nice, ambiance was beautiful but food left a lot to be desired !! Food was mostly over cooked and lacked taste. Whole process was extremely slow and drawn out. Divi properties extremely nice but this restaurant not with going to and very pricey at $75 per person. We have better restaurants in Boston with fabulous views and great food for much less money

We dined here yesterday and came back today , most likely we'll choose this restaurant again tomorrow . The menu offers diverse options and the food is prepared to perfection and presented elegantly . The staff is very professional and welcoming . We went once and they already knew who we were when we went back. The setting is great too : you can enjoy the Aruba sunset while sitting at a very comfortable table ( with a white tablecloth , finally ! ). Tables are far from each other and there is no noise, just some pleasant music in the background . Prices are not high for the quality this restaurant offers .

Very lovely dining room and the service is excellent and attentive! Crab and shrimp appetizer is tasty. My miso cod was slightly over cooked. Chocolate lava cake was delish. If you are a foodie, this place won’t knock your socks off, but I give them an A for effort and presentation…B- for food. A little pricey for what it is.

My husband took me here for my birthday dinner. From the time we entered until we left the customer service from the staff was exceptional and the food was very good the bar tender made the best lemon drop I have ever had. We had a window seat which had a great view of the water but any seat in this restaurant which gave you a 360 degree view would be fine. Our second trip to Aruba but first time here and definitely not our last.

Went with friends last nitght for dinner. Once again, a great time. The appetizers were all good; especially the parmesan soup. Have never seen this anywhere and it was superb. All our entrees were also good. I had the mushroom ravioli app as my meal and my wife had the carpaccio and both were good. Our friends liked thier shrimp & grouper. Miquel was ours server and he was excellent; friendly, checked back multiple times and the food was not auctioned off. They really know how to do it right. Prices are par for the course for a fine dining restaurant on the island and we're definitely going back.
