Aqua Grill seafood restaurant in Aruba is set in a contemporary décor combining the traditions of a New England fish house with the ease and character of the Caribbean, it didn’t take long for Aqua Grill to enjoy a loyal local and tourist following on the island. The award-winning chef’s philosophy of combining both classic seafood dishes with contemporary cuisine and presentations quickly put Aqua Grill on the short list of must-dines with the concierges of Aruba’s fine resorts. Aqua Grill also reaped accolades from such prestigious travel publications as Fodor’s, who says, “This hip restaurant is heaven on earth for seafood lovers, who will find fresh fish galore…”

    Dinner was good. One of the entree descriptions was not accurate as it did not indicate there was a sauce on the shrimp. Ambience was nice, live entertainment was a plus but was hard to have conversations when the performer was singing as our table was located right near the speaker.

    This is a favorite of ours whenever we are in Aruba. This meal was no exception. Although one entree and one dessert ordered ended up being not available, all the other choices were delicious and our servers were outstanding. The only downside was we ate outside and the music from our restaurant was competing with the music next door and it made for a loud ambiance which had never been the case before. We wish that something could be worked out with both restaurants so this won’t be an issue in the future. Otherwise we had a very good dining experience.

    The food is exceptionally fresh and the presentation is nice. A real departure from the ordinary fish grill at a good price point. Our server, Claudia was knowledgeable and so pleasant. Definitely recommend- off the beaten path a bit but worth it.

    What a disappointment. I went here for my birthday: January 8th. I made a reservation and was asked if we were celebrating a special occasion and I replied yes. First of all, the food was tasteless. I had the garlic shrimp and my friend had the mahi mahi fish. Boh meals underwhelmed and seriously didn't not impress . After the meal the servers came out with a birthday desert and sang Happy Birthday. It was a very nice gesture, however I wish they had asked first. I can't eat ice cream and I hate brownies. To add insult to injury I was charged for a desert that I neither ordered nor wanted. It would had been better to ask if I even wanted dessert and which one. So basically I was charged for something that I couldn't eat. Personally, I find it offensive when restaurant adds a gratuity to my meal. This was not a party of over 5 people nor was my bill over $100. I always leave 20% or more when dining out. Please do not assume what amount of a tip that I want to leave. When I asked about this to my server, she stated this was for the back staff (cooks, busboys etc) and it didn't include her. So now I am expected to tip again if I wanted her to receive a tip. This restaurant is very popular and always busy. Pay your staff a decent salary and don't expect me to add to their pay
