What an amazing evening out at Water's Edge Restaurant & Bar Aruba. From the ease of making a dinner reservation online to our arrival and being greeted by a really nice hostess and staff. Our server Mary Lou was Fabulous in personality, professionalism and attentiveness...to us. The food was absolutely amazing and some of the best we have had in Aruba. Owner Roy stopped by table to wish us a Happy Anniversary and what a delightful man. So genuine in checking that our experience was a good one. Also, Musician/Saxaphonist Jean Paul played and was lovely music during our dining. Lastly, ambiance....WOW! A beautiful place to dine, but it was the staff that made the difference. We will continue to make Water's Edge part of our future dining plans as we visit Aruba annually.More

My family and I dined at the Water’s Edge on our trip to Aruba. New place for us to try here and it didn’t disappoint. We were promptly seated outside. Fabio our waiter took great care of us and was very attentive. We ordered drinks...and the calamari & coconut shrimp appetizers. My husband also got the crab & corn chowder & I ordered the lobster bisque. All were very good, but the coconut shrimp were the best. We ordered the Grouper, Mahi, island chicken and Ahi Tuna for our entrees and they were all wonderful. The ahi tuna was exceptional. They had a young woman singing & her set list was great for the setting & audience. We will definitely go back.More

6 adults, everyone of us were very happy. Yes, we did hit happy hour and drinks were half priced. But I usually order my drinks "light" on the alcohol and most restaurants are happy to comply as it saves them money. The drink I ordered...had 151 rum in it and I knew it would be too much for me. So they brought me my "light" drink (delicious) and also brought the rest of the shot of rum for someone else at the table to drink. We had so many different appetizers and entrees and they all were very fresh, prepared perfectly and absolutely delicious. Definitely add this restaurant to your list of places to try. We walked from our resort at Eagle beach.More

What a wonderful dinner. By far on day five the best dinner In Aruba. To start with the server Lilian was fabulous and so energetic. We started with the coconut shrimp an I had the Crab and corn chowder soup both were outstanding. The chowder...had a great sweet taste with pieces of crab. For dinner Kathy had the grouper that rivaled any grouper she has had. The mashed potatoes ehh but who cares lol. I had the pork chop which was a nice size chop cooked to perfection with a nice glaze with vegetables. There was a lovely singer tonight Truly great night at waters edgeMore

Choose this restaurant to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We made reservations at 6:30p so that we could enjoy the sunset view by the beach. Service was great, food was even better. A plus was the violinist who played a portion of our evening. The songs...that she played added a nice touch to where we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a nice view with enjoyable food.More

Made reservation for 8pm, and did not have the food until 9:30pm, even though the restaurant was not full. This is not the first time with less than satisfactory experience here, so will not likely to return. The location is nice at the end of...the pier, and the food is not bad (although not exceptional, either). I guess we are not coming back here anytime soon.More

We have visited Aruba for the last few years with a group of our friends. I had decided that I was going to propose to my girlfriend this year and surprise her as well as all of my friends. We had a group of 12...people, but Water's Edge was quite happy to accommodate us and after my friend informed the person taking the reservation, the manager called her back for details. The food was excellent, one of the best Filets that I have ever had. Everyone else in the group was very happy with their meals also. The atmosphere was great, the service was quick and efficient. They made sure that we have a waterfront table and everything went as planned. They even provided a complimentary bottle of champagne. We plan on making Water's Edge one of our yearly stops.More
