    This restaurant has been sold and they are closing their doors in a month. As a result when they run out of an item it is not replaced. We could not get the 1.5 pound lobster. No Bloody Mary mix, no Baked Alaska. This used to be our favorite restaurant in Aruba. Hopefully the new owners will do the right thing when they reopen in the fall.

    I went to Aqua Grill 15 years ago and had such an amazing time that I still have the matchbook! I went back today with my family and was so disappointed. I was warned repeatedly multiple time ls that it went downhill and I should have heeded those warnings. The drinks and apps were decent but service was so slow, and the entrees came out after 45 minutes and were wrong. The plank salmon had no soba noodles and bbq sauce smothered everywhere - absolutely terrible. Save your time and book elsewhere!

    Aqua Grill is a staple when we come to Aruba. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always great. Joyce helped us out and she was so pleasant and attentive.

    Our dinner consisted of four appetizers: oysters, octopus, tuna, lobster and shrimp salad. It was all outstanding! Service was a little slow, but hey, we’re on island time, right?! Enjoyed the ocean breeze and ambiance. Would absolutely eat there again!

    Restaurant was closed for remodeling and renovation. Opentable never informed us about this situation and we were stuck on a Saturday night looking for another place to go after we showed up to discover they were closed. Not exactly sure how this will affect our future relationship with Opentable for making reservations.

    Server Claudia was excellent Large Glass door being opened improperly made for a bad experience as it made a loud noise every 2/3 minutes 🤬 Waiters pushing the door in the wrong direction was very annoying. Lobster Bisque was 👍👍 Filet was tough and sinewy 😌 Vegan Meal was good Thx for serving us

    We went to Aqua today for the first time. We were really excited as we based this decision off of OpenTable ratings being #2 for restaurants in Aruba. Sadly I did not experience nor think they should be as highly ranked. The options they had all sounded great which also got me excited although when arriving to the table and finally eating I wondered where all the flavors went? My dish was a seafood pasta dish with creole sauce- it tasted like warmed up tomato sauce with not even salt in it. I have had creole food in the past and they are known for their bright and unique flavors. I did not experience this. It may be a place for some people but if you are looking for a total WOW experience for food this was not it.

    It was a lovely evening. We got there 20 minutes prior to our reservation and were seated right away. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, our server Claudia came over to ask what we’d like to drink. We ordered drinks and appetizers and they were perfect! My Cosmopolitan was just as I asked, not too strong, and for the apps, we got Crab Cakes and the Tuna Tartar, both equally delicious. My husband had the Fisherman’s Platter, which was an assortment of mixed fried seafood with sweet plantains, and I had the Mahi Mahi. The Mahi was very tasty along with the mixed vegetables and coconut rice-a personal fave, and the platter was flavorful and abundant. We were so full and and had the remaining to go, and unfortunately had no room for dessert! I did however look at the menu and would have picked multiple items off of it if I had room! This is a definite must try when in Aruba!

    Great eatery with excellent service. The grlled tuna steak and seafood tagliatelle were outstanding! Kids fish was not a hit with our little fish eater, who prefers finger food. Joyce and team provided 5/5 service!
