Screaming Eagle Restaurant

Food and service was amazing! We had Artichoke Carpaccio as an appetizer and it was very tasty. Outdoor seating across from the beach. There was a fan above our table which kept us cool. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu items and gave recommendations based on our interest. Dessert was cooked at the table. Great experience!

We ate here last week and sat right away because we had a standing reservation. The vibe has definitely changed since my last visit a couple of years ago, where it is now looking like a large family style restaurant as opposed to the more intimate setting it was the last time we ate here. I asked the server what I should choose for my appetizer between the bisque and the fried brie with berry compote. She declared to get the brie with berry compote, so I ordered that. In the interim the bread was brought out to us. The server had told us the bread is amazing so my expectations were high. However, the bread was toasted and cold and the butter was also cold. See attached picture. Definitely, not what I expected for "amazing bread". Next, my appetizer and my partners salad arrived. My appetizer (the brie with berry compote) looked pretty, but once I took a bite, it was not pretty anymore. It literally tasted like vomit. The server asked me how I liked it and I told her it was not for me. The manager immediately came over to us and she asked me specifically what I did not like about it, and I had to tell her the truth. It really tasted horrible. About 3 minutes later, my partner found a caterpillar in his salad. Yes... a caterpillar. He asked for the manager to come over and she did promptly. We offered to pay for our food, but she declined and offered apologies. Again, very nice staff, but terrible food. The icing on the cake was when we were home at the airport getting our luggage and another traveler recognized us from the night before at the restaurant and wanted to know our story because they waited hours for their food to the point they finally just asked for it 'to go'. Once eaten, they said the food was terrible. This place used to be a gem, but now it's just like a terrible Chili's. Oh, I also forgot, I was going to order the lobster, but a 13 oz lobster at Market Price there was $129... Meanwhile, Market Price for lobster in Aruba is approximately $14.00. That's robbery. These other reviews must be fake because there is no way the food is good there.

Incredible Service from Jimmy! We had an amazing dining experience at Screaming Eagle, and a huge part of that was thanks to our waiter, Jimmy. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made excellent recommendations and ensured that everything was perfect throughout the evening. Jimmy struck the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness—he genuinely made us feel welcome and taken care of. Complements to the chef for the amazing food. Great cigar and old fashion at the end and talking to the owner to finish our dinner experience. If you’re dining at Screaming Eagle, ask for Jimmy—you won’t be disappointed!

Arminda was a wonderful server that kept us laughing. The restaurant has great service and makes sure all of your needs are met including checking for allergies upon arrival and offering to get us a taxi after. The food was delightful and several items were prepared right in front of us at the table! Truly something worth experiencing in Aruba.

This place is outstanding. We’ve been to many restaurants on Aruba including most of the top rated ones and our meal (fresh fish of the day) was the best we’ve had on the island. The bacon wrapped veggies was scrumptious. Our waiter Mark was pleasant and funny, service was excellent, you cannot beat the atmosphere as the dining is outside across from Eagle Beach and the pricing is reasonable given the location. Highly recommended!

Our server, Armand’s, made us feel welcome from start to finish! The food was delicious, especially the sauce that she prepared right at the table. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Eagle Beach!

Great restaurant! Location was perfect for us. Food was outstanding. Would highly recommend. One person in our group had food allergies, and they were more then helpful accommodating. Thank you!

We had Sabina and she was the bomb dot com. Her customer service was amazing. She was impeccable in her service. Taking care of our orders and ensuring we were taken care of for my birthday. 10/10 would recommend. We plan on coming back and this is the first night on the island. The food was amazing. And the whole team was so welcoming and helped us enjoy our meal. Thank you Screaming Eagle!!
