We are so happy that we choose The Water’s Edge for our most special occasion during our Aruba vacation! We were celebrating my husbands birthday and our server Fabio was an absolute pleasure! He was very charming and helpful and just the perfect amount of...attentiveness was given to us so we could enjoy the spectacular sunset and the very memorable meal we were served! I would highly recommend making the time to enjoy this beautiful restaurant. The violinist was a wonderful addition and made the evening more romantic than we could have ever imagined. We will remember it forever.More

Food was great. Ambiance was great. Service was good. We would not go back because we have been flooded with ads since dining there. It is annoying beyond description. Nothing seems to stop these ads from occurring every 5-10 minutes!.

This was extremely disappointing. We got a reservation for 7:45pm( earlier was unavailable) We ask so sit inside( completely empty, not sure why we couldn't come earlier) When the food came it was terrible. The snapper was dry and the sauce was cold and hard....The waiter just smiled when we told him. While we were sitting there they got all the tables ready for the morning breakfast, very unpleasant. Will never go again.More

My wife had the Cobb salad and she said it was one of the best she has ever...had. You also get some friendly visitors.

I have been coming to Watersedge since 1997. Now this year since the manager, Edwin, left the service is terrible. Twice in 1 week I wanted to order drinks but the help enjoys talking to each other rather than wait on customers. First time they...looked at me and keep doing dishes, if I don't buy drinks no dishes to wash, second time around 2:30 today 9/25/23. This was to be my first drink today. 4 bartenders talk in corner 1 ask if I needed anything , my answer yes, her answer ok I will be back left bar area, so I left too.
