   Beautiful setting; friendly staff… food reviews were mixed… lobster bisque had no lobster and was pureed, but was tasty. Turkey sandwiches on focaccia were very good; short rib had very little short rib and lemon zest threw off the flavor; Caesar salad with grilled chicken was a smaller portion than most restaurants (just one large leaf of romaine lettuce with chicken atop).

   Surprisingly good food for a restaurant inside a Marriott. Was relatively empty (we went early) and I could see it might be noisy and the food and service more challenging when full as it was huge. Our meal was excellent. Tuna tartare was favorable though portion small. Mortadella pinsa was amazing. They have multiple pinsa offering that are like a flatbread but lighter / airier dough. Delicious. Mains of bronzino and lamb were both delicious. Reasonable for an island resort at < $200 including a $70 bottle of wine.

   AMAZINGGGG!! Went for the Sunday Brunch with my friend, and it exceeded all expectations! The food selection was incredible, with options that covered everything from beef, seafood, and chicken to sushi. They even had breakfast items, like a custom omelette station, and local Aruban favorites, including cheese balls, pastechi, and fresh salads—a huge variety to satisfy every craving! The highlight of our experience was our waitress, Lilibeth. She was exceptionally attentive, keeping my mimosa flowing and making sure we had everything we needed. Her warmth and attention to detail made the brunch even more memorable. And if that wasn’t enough, they had both a gelato and a cannoli station that were absolutely amazing! The perfect sweet ending to a fabulous meal. 10/10 would recommend this spot for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience. If you go, definitely ask for Lilibeth for the best service!

   This was our first time doing the Sunday Brunch. We always do breakfast on Saturday. I am very happy we tried it. The food was delicious. Loved the variety. The service was great. Our glasses were never empty. A must try.

   We were seated right away. We ordered three main courses and an appetizer. We received our appetizer in a timely manner. The main courses came out shortly after...but only two of the three came. Apparently the server forgot to put in the third so the two people were finished eating by the time the third main course was cooked and brought out. It was a pizza and was really not good at all. The two main courses that came out originally were pretty good. Original server never came over to apologize for the mistake. Our table was taken over by a supervisor that offered us 10% off the meal for our trouble. However, we are staying on property and with our status, we already get 10% off anyway so it was really not any discount. Our least favorite meal on the island so far.

   Nice food, very tasty , interesting drinks, the Moroccan chocolate cake was amazing- tough though to have a nice romantic evening when you can see and hear the kids running and jumping into the pool, but the food and staff are quite good
