   Old Man in the Sea was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Aruba. It's perfect for couples who are celebrating a special occasion. The food was fantastic and the ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful. You must experience it once!

   The ambiance was 5 stars… that’s about the only good thing I have to say. Took nearly 20 minutes to get our drinks after they were ordered and the restaurant was pretty dead at the time. The manager also kept standing on the bridge connecting to where we sat from the beach and was watching videos on his phone that we could hear. The food arrived and my husbands meat was overcooked, they brought me the wrong meal and so both meals were sent back and the manager never once approached us to apologize or anything. We didn’t complain to the manager once as we both felt like he did not care. The food brought out the second time was not good… the lobster was very overcooked and chewy, steak and lamb didn’t have much flavor. Service all night was very slow and not what I would expect at a restaurant like this. Not worth the hype. This is the only restaurant we went to all week that I would tell someone to not go to. Very disappointed as I had better expectations for my birthday dinner! :(

   Incredible experience! My boyfriend and I recommend this place to anyone that is interested in visiting Aruba. This restaurant was the highlight of our Aruba trip. We dined outside of one of the cabanas that was right on the water. Everything was amazing - the service, the food, and most notably the impeccable view and ambiance. I highly suggest that everyone dine here at least once. I can't wait to go back!
