Aqua Grill Aruba | Fresh Seafood and More

What a lovely experience. The steaks were cooked perfectly. The lobster was sweet and delicious. The lobster bisque and clam chowder were hot and delicious. I didn't have a drink 🍷 but my friend's drink was tasty. The place is HUGE and there was a lady singing who had an amazing voice. Service was on point. I would highly recommend this place and will be returning.

Lovely place. Very spacious. Service was great. Nora was a wonderful waitress and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. Her suggestions and the reason for her suggestions were great. The only negative was that the Caribbean seafood chowder was only lightly seasoned. We had the tuna medium rare and that was well seasoned. Absolutely delicious The lobster stuffed with crab meat was spot on The yellow fin tuna was well seasoned Will do this again

I was a bit skeptical since the rating was a 4.2. I’m was pleasantly surprised. The food and service were excellent. The servers were very attentive and always made sure our glasses stayed full. I ordered the skirt steak (cooked medium) and it was so tender. The chimichurri was the best! A bit pricey for the three of us for dinner and desert with no alcohol. The price for our dishes was $$$$. $ = Inexpensive, usually $10 and under. $$ = Moderately expensive, usually between $10-$25. $$$ = Expensive, usually between $25-$45. $$$$ = Very Expensive, usually $50 and up.

I must start with the impeccable service. Everyone was so welcoming and courteous. We had the pleasure of being waited on by Gonzalo. His upbeat personality, knowledge of the menu, and island information/tips for my party was a treasure. The West Indian fish cakes, West Indian curried shrimp, grilled salmon, and the fisherman’s platter were all pleasing to our palette! The Red Snapper is delicious grilled and fried. I look forward to returning again next year! The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner, girls night out or for an intimate family dinner.

I’ve been eating at this place for some years now and it never disappoints. The staff is friendly, service is good and food is delicious! As starters we had the tuna tartar and the lobster salad which were both great and as the entree we had the Cioppino which was super delicious. To finish it off we had the coconut flan as desert and also had some wine and cocktails. I definitely recommend anyone to come if you love seafood! But there are other options as well if you don’t.

We ate dinner at Aqua Grill on Thurs, October 17, 2024. We were a party of 8. Service seemed slow based on the number of staff present in the restaurant. One in our party ordered a half pound of the King Crab Legs as a meal. Very Disappointing!! They were over cooked and the pieces were what I call small/scrub type pieces. Recognizing that most everything in Aruba is expensive (this was our 3rd trip), the King Crab was way over priced at $130/lb, especially given the type pieces served which included a knuckle of all things. When I expressed my concern to the manager he did not seem to care. That said, all others did say their meals were good. And while we had varying experiences, this restaurant will not be in the list of places to dine on our next trip back to Aruba.

This place is outrageously expensive. With that said, it’s some of the better seafood we had on the island. The appetizers weren’t great. The plank salmon was very good though. Chilean sea bass was pretty good too. Service however was practically non-existent especially considering what you’re paying to eat there. I normally tip well over 20% but actually felt a bit robbed with the 15% service charge they tack on the bill automatically.

Aqua Grill is known for its excellent seafood and we weren't disappointed, from the Calamari and Tuna Tratare to the Mixed Seafood platter and Blackened Salmon ... and yes even the grilled Striploin, all were delicious. The service was also friendly and efficient. Great job, guys
