   Well- was excited after seeing the reviews. Honestly, we were disappointed. The food was overpriced for what you get. Food quality was ok, but not great. Sea Bass was uninspired. Chicken was a bit dry and tasteless. Scallop appetizer was meh. Had to search for a couple of miniature scallops in the dish. Drinks were the best part of the menu. Oh, and at a table of four of us, they somehow forgot my entree so we did the stare at each other for five minutes thing because no one wanted to start without me. Overall, there are many better options on the island at this price level. Won’t be back soon….

   Amazing meal. Cody our server was wonderful. We started off with the short rib tacos ( INSANE) and the grilled shrimp delicious. We then splurged and had the wagu special. 10/10. New favorite place on the island.

   Beef was wonderful, maybe best ever! Service was great. It was unbelievably noisy with large parties in the room.

   I always enjoy this restaurant. Service is great, food is delicious and ambiance is nice. It’s a bit pricey, but very much worth it. I always order the skirt steak, definitely enough for two. Have never been disappointed.

   We had a great dinner at AZAR. The food was wonderful…the rotisserie chicken dinner is very good and plentiful. The pork chop was also very good. Drinks were well prepared. Service was good. Atmosphere is contemporary. Noise level was acceptable. Overall a lovely evening and a good value considering the quantity and quality of the food. I would highly recommend.

   This was our 4th or 5th time dining at AZAR. Since our first time several years ago, it is one of the restaurants we visit on every trip to Aruba. The restaurant is beautiful with both outdoor seating near the bar, and a beautiful dining room that is fully enclosed. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgable and will help you make selections. There is a menu of craft cocktails for those who are looking to try something different. We opened the meal with an appetizer of Roasted Feta cheese. The cheese is served in a hot cast iron skillet cooked with a saffron peach jam and za'atar. The cheese is slightly melted and spread nicely on two slices of toasted focaccia bread that accompany the appetizer. My wife opted for the burger. It was prepared with bacon jam, blue cheese, and fried onions. It was served with a side of crispy french fries. The burger is tasty and quite large. I opted for the Watashee Rice. It is their version of paella. Like paella dishes in Spain, there is just a thin layer of rice on the bottom. The rice was topped with chorizo, grilled shrimp, roasted tomatoes, fried onions and aioli. It was outstanding. We also shared a side dish of Harissa Honey Carrots. It is roasted in the oven and topped with sumac, labneh, and cilanto. We order the carrots on every visit. Alas we were too full for dessert. Looking forward to our next visit.
