The Kitchen Table

First time dining at the Kitchen Table. Saved it for our last meal on the Island and saved the best for last. Absolutely delicious meal from start to finish. We had the wine pairing menu which went so well with the courses that we had. The staff were so attentive, always ready to refill our glass of wine. Every course was outstanding from the Ceviche to the dessert. The host was very knowledgeable about the wines created a speaking point about every dish as well. The chef was amazing and I really appreciate all the detail he put into every dish. Great to see someone takes such immense pride in his work. Highly recommend frequenting the Kitchen Table if you have the chance. You will definitely not be disappointed. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

I hate that I have to be a little picky when writing this review but as I'm paying a decent amount for the meal I expect a certain level of quality. First off, the service was impeccable. You are made to feel very welcome with a glass of champagne upon arrival. The seating was a nice change of pace, as you're quite literally at a dinner table and not one of those half circle tables. Then there's the food. The ceviche was incredible, lots of lime flavors that was very nice. The shrimp and potato dish was nice, didn't blow me away. The broth for the soup was very good, but some of the other flavors were very muted and sort of missing. The cracker on top was confusing. Then there's the fish course. The sauce was broken first off all, and the endive lettuce was from the bitter center section with the butt left on. It didn't hit with me. Next was the "tenderloin" which was not tender at all. Very chewy, like it wasn't cut properly. The sauce was great though, and the 3 veggies were just there, no real purpose. The tiramisu was fantastic. There was also 2 other dishes that I forgot to take pictures of. One was a vegetarian mushroom pastry, very good. The other a purple corn popsicle, also very good. Not sure that I would come back unless the menu was revamped a little.

The Kitchen Table is a must do experience while in Aruba🙌🏻🇦🇼👨🏻‍🍳 It truly is a dining experience. A well paced 8 course chef tasting menu. It’s educational. Elegant. Entertaining. And Enjoyable. From start to finish. Deliciousness in each bite. Plan in advance. Secure a reservation. Limited to 12 people. It’s a great place to celebrate a birthday or a milestone. You may start the experience as strangers but you leave with new friends… It’s a 3 hour, 5 star experience. A place where you can be fully present. A place to slow down and sip and savor the good life. One bite at a time~ The Kitchen Table Aruba Style.

My first trip to Aruba and it has been amazing! The kitchen Table lived up to expectations, as well. Beautiful, pleasant family atmosphere. Strangers became family instantly! The food plated gorgeously and all eight courses delicious, to the eye and belly! Service, oh my goodness, you must experience! I loved that each course was explained and beverages topped off throughout the meal. Never an empty glass. Wine pairing is extraordinary and extra fee, but well worth the experience. Tasted wines from around the world throughout the 8 courses! I celebrated my birthday with this top of the line dinner. Enjoyed it immensely!!!

My first experience at the Kitchen Table was truly exceptional. Andres, the staff member, was incredibly delightful, and the food served was not only delicious but also explained in great detail. Each dish presented a delightful explosion of flavors that left a lasting impression. Based on this remarkable experience, I highly recommend visiting the kitchen table. With the combination of Andres' delightful service, the detailed explanations of the delicious food, and the explosion of flavors in each dish truly made the first visit to the Kitchen Table a memorable and highly enjoyable experience. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience.

This was the best dinner I had in Aruba and set the bar high for the rest of my trip. We compared every meal to the one we had at The Kitchen Table. Not only was the food amazing, the service was personable, warm, welcoming and an all around great time. The community dining room was also a wonderful way to meet people in an organic setting. From start to finish (including the champagne welcoming and a sorbet break half way through) we were there a total of 4 hours. This time flew by and we left satisfied and a little full! Other things to note: The room was air conditioned. We arrived by cab and the host offered to call a return one for us that arrived very quickly. (Bring cash for taxis on the island, they don’t take cards or other payment.)

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Aruba. We were there for our 7-course anniversary dinner. The chefs took such great care in preparing the courses. Each dish could easily take a whole day to prepare, while each plate was impeccably set up in front of us. The result was a complex and delicate mix of flavors and textures, absolutely delicious, truly a culinary journey throughout the night. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a good time, personally greeting us and socializing with us in between the courses. The atmosphere was fun and unpretentious. We also got to mingle with our fellow diners who happened to be having various stages of wedding anniversaries! Everyone had a good time. I, for one, would look forward to my next visit. It'd be a great reason for coming back to Aruba again.

This is a dining experience. It costs around $120 a person and it's a nice, slow seven course meal. It only sits 12 people and they create the environment of a family dinner. The food is fabulous. Each dish is explained and then presented in perfect detail. The plates can look sensational but if the food doesn't taste or is not as good then it would be all for not. However, at the kitchen table the food is the star and every dish was unique in its flavorings. Each course was a different taste experience. Everyone may not truly appreciate the work that goes into this type of dinner. Those who do, this is a great choice while visiting Aruba to have a nice meal which is a full dining experience. From the champagne greeting through the two plus hours of the meal, every moment was worth the visit. My personal favorite was the lobster soup and the mango ice cream.
