    We tried this on our most recent trip to Aruba and it's a must for refined foodies! Every course was delicious and we felt more than satisfied with the entire meal from start to finish. I must add that I am not much of a lamb fan, but the lamb dish served was unique and the best I've ever had. Chef Patrick and his staff were very welcoming and friendly and we felt very comfortable and entertained for the evening. Don't let the price discourage you from giving it a try!

    Roger and Erwin delivered the most amazing dinner!! Roger explained the wine parings and Erwin gave us the delicious details of each course. The night started promptly at 7, when the doors opened, we were all invited to a glass of champagne and had a chance to meet the other guests. The dinning takes place at a U-shaped counter, so everyone has the opportunity to watch the chef finalize the dishes. 2 Fools and a Bull is a must when in Aruba. But you have to reserve your spot 2 months in advance!!
