This restaurant is a bit far from Palm/Eagle Beach, but the drive is worth it. Reservations are needed as they have a small number of tables, a few of which are at the edge of the water, where you can dine with your feet in the water. Our server, Remate, was truly a professional. You could tell she liked her... More

We visited the Flying Fishbone on a recommendation from roughly everyone on the island of Aruba. After making reservations, we were set to try it. Upon arriving, we were told that waterfront tables were not guaranteed, but one should be coming open soon. So, we sat at the bar and waited for roughly 10 minutes before our table was ready....

The fish really come alive when the sun goes down. I ordered the shrimp and blue cheese casserole, the most popular dish, but I found it a bit too salty. The beef carpaccio was amazing. Our server Mike recommended the chocolate ravioli and it was perfect, not that overpoweringly sweet. Great service. My only tip is to find out the... More

Just ate here last night. It was by far the most beautiful setting yet...right in the sand (wear your slippahs) some tables right in the water. The staff was very attentive. Our waiter Michael was fantastic. He was VERY knowledgable of the menu and the bar menu. He made great suggestions, but in the end always deferred to our individual... More

I can't say enough about this restaurant. The setting was beautiful. We were there at sunset so between the view and the food we thought we went to heaven. The shrimp and blue cheese casserole was to die for. The prices were within reason and the wait staff was excellent. Many special occasions were being celebrated by fellow dinners. It... More

This restaurant is out of the way for most Aruba visitors and you need to have a car or take a taxi ($80.00 return) This restaurant is located right near the water and you can get a table outside on the sand four feet away from the water. The restaurant had the "Catch of the Day" on his menu, but... More

The Flying Fishbone is still one of my favorite, living in New York we don't have eating places that you can eat with your feet in the sand with the ambience of the flying fishbone . It is a bit of a drive from the hotels but well worth the drive and of course the food is great.

From our nearby resort, we walked to The Flying fishbone for a bite to eat. Not really hungry, we dined on two appetizers. And let me tell you - for the price, you certainly get your money's worth here. I don't think it would matter what you choose to eat - you won't be disappointed! Michael was our waiter for... More

Another place in Aruba where you can dine on the sand at sunset...what is not to like? Places like this are a good reason to rent a car. The cab would have been $40 one way and we rented a car for the week for $169. We would never have made it here without the car. Beyond that, the food... More
