I was grumbling walking in, wanting initially to eat in an Italian restaurant, but I left gleefully gratified, sated with a satisfying meal.
The entrance takes you into another world, though integrated very much into the surroundings of the vibrant Aruba scene. The lighting is dim and you feel as if you’re eating in a hideaway.
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, with all the beginning parts of the dining experience — bread, water, drinks, etc, completely thoughtfully.
Your waiter will not only repeat your order, he or she may also tell you what to expect in terms of the degree of spice, what sort of lobster will be served, the marinations, and the types of side dishes to expect. Our waiter also checked in with us, as did a manager or two.
The meal moved along expeditiously, but it wasn’t rushed. It was just the right tempo.
We had the meat and cheese boards combined — a special request that was easily accommodated.
I loved the Mahi kebab. It was bountiful, flavored amazingly with a zesty but not too spicy ratatouille sauce. Get it!
The apple crisp is an apple crisp without the fillers — flat, crispy, and flavorful, containing every aspect of an hearty apple tart though famous for its thinness, presented in a round shape for several to share.
The bill is delivered to you just as the meal was: in a unique way. It arrives in a book — literally a book — leaving an impression on you, just as the rest of the dining experience.
