We there for dinner and it was by far the best meal we've had in Curacao! The place itself is very pretty, the service was great and the food was SOOO GOOD! Do yourself a favor and have a meal there!

Delicious food in a lovely setting This restaurant has a wonderful ambience. We sat on the patio in the early evening. The menu is designed for sharing. We enjoyed the shrimp, the fish and the steak and found three dishes suited us well. We finished...with the chocolate lava cake which was perfect size and perfection. There were many other options on the menu that sounded delicious. We will return next time we are in Curacao.More

We visited twice and loved the fact that it has a sharing menu. We got to taste different dishes which are fabulous! Kudos to the chef and owner, very creative and tasty. There are different dishes for everyone’s different palate. This is why we went...back a second time. It has a cozy and relaxed atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is great. However the center courtyard is wonderful. Loved it! We will probably visit one more time before heading back home.More

We came here for dinner our first night and for cocktails & small plates another night. Every dish was outstanding - not just the fish but also the vegetables and other touches served with each dish. The guests mostly seemed to be local when we...went there on a Saturday night.More

My wife and I ate here years ago, when it was called Fishalicious -- which is still how your check is billed. It was great, then. Now, the focus is small plates. My reservation said I needed Gluten-Free food, and the hostess thoughtfully told me,...as we sat down, what dishes I could safely eat. Unfortunately, her concern was not echoed by the kitchen: two dishes had to be returned -- the Red Snapper and even the sorbet! It's not like the kitchen was overwhelmed by orders. They were just unthinking. My wife loved her sardine appetizer, but the smoked eel, while it tasted good going down, had my wife up all night with the heaves: just too fatty.More

This was one of the first restaurants we tried during our recent stay in Curacao. Suffice it to say that you will be impressed with the service, cuisine and overall atmosphere. Definitely a restaurant you do not want to overlook.

Everything you could possibly expect when dining out was met here. The staff was spot on, even on a busy night, you were not neglected for a second. The wine list was great, the waiters' knowledge of the wine was top-notch. The food is innovative...and so much fun to share. I would recommend adding the fondue and the escargot with blue cheese to your choices. We didn't try everything, but I can't imagine that everything isn't fabulous.More

This restaurant had good reviews so we gave it a try They were doing us a favour to let us have a table. When we were eventually given the menu , even though we had been sitting a while and other couples who came in...after us were served before us, we were told by a condescending waiter that they only served sharing dishes and we would need at least two or three dishes each. The prices however were main course equivalent We started with whitebait and then deep fried calamari, both small dishes. Our next dish was red snapper, totally over cooked = not what we expected from a specialist sea food restaurant (not sure they have red snapper in the Caribbean) The waiter tried on two occasions to give us a plate of escargots which we hadn’t ordered. Overall very disappointing and extremely expensive with no feel good.More
