We went Monday night. The singer was extremely talented and contributed to our ambiance score. Like that made our night. Now let me summarize the rest. Menu: Didn’t have any mussels. If you define yourself as a Belgian restaurant and have a whole section on the menu dedicated to mussels AND they’re in season but you don’t have them, that’s a huge miss. Great Belgian beer selection. Food: Ordered the catch of the day special (grouper in a curry sauce) tasted fantastic!! Husband had steak frites since no mussels. Thought it was cooked to order. However, after our meal we were extremely thirsty. The next morning and we are still feeling the effects. We think it was too salty. Service: Attentive and friendly. Ambiance: Again, that singer was amazing. However, some guy had a bubble machine and kept turning it on. This isn’t a kids party. Someone should’ve told him to stop it. We didn’t appreciate eating bubbles as we dined. Like who does that? Talk about rude. We dined on the outdoor terrace. Had a great vibe. Went inside for the bathroom and loved the decor and vibe in there too. Bathrooms very clean. You could see into the kitchen (glass wall) which I always like. So to summarize, lower the sodium, get mussels or take them off your menu and don’t let patrons act rudely.

We were in Aruba for a week and came across this restaurant on OpenTable. We liked it so much, we went back again for a second meal. The food was outstanding as well as the presentation. We really loved the grouper special and the beef stew! Service was amazing as well. We will be telling our friends who have timeshares at the Marriott to definitely go there.

Heerlijk gegeten in een Belgische Bistro met Belgisch bier en Belgisch/Arubaanse gerechten. Ook onze Arubaanse vrienden hebben genoten. Af en toe veel herrie van langs rijdende “discobussen”. Verder uitstekend.
