Atardi (formerly Simply Fish)

Great place to eat. Food is so-so. The kids loved it because it was on the beach is a relaxed but elegant setting.

We celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary last night at Simply Fish. I found the restaurant on this site and thought it would be perfect. It was. We had reservations for 6:30 so we could experience the beautiful Aruban sunset. Our waiters, Fanny and Daniel were both more than happy to take many pictures of us as the sun set. We had no appetizer and both ordered the 10 oz. lobster tail. It was pricey but what isn't in Aruba? This was accompanied by a choice of potato and really crisp and delicious vegetables. Oh, and did I forget to mention the tapinade that was served first? A mixture of green and black olives and capers to be spread on bread. We ordered no dessert but were surprised by Daniel arriving with a plate of chocolate mousse cake complete with sparklers and a message written in chocolate.....Mr. and Mrs. Mancuso Happy 41st Anniversary!!!! That was over and above what had to be done for an anniversary. We will go back to celebrate 42! I also want to mention that seats were very comfortable. Sometimes beach dinig is just that....beach dining and if you are concerned with not being able to see, the servers carried tiny flashlights and shone them whenever we looked as if we needed them.

Wonderful! Outstanding ambiance and great service. The location on the beach is perfect. You are far from the highway so you do not hear the traffic you hear at Passions. The food was prepared beautifully and tasted delicious. The chairs on the beach were oversized and so comfy for dining. The beach is so peaceful and quiet with soft music in the background. You feel like the only ones there with a wonderful staff taking care of your every need. Do not miss this place….great ambiance, food and wonderful service.

We dropped in without a reservation and were greeted with a beautiful table by the water on a beautiful beach. The service was excellent as was the Sea Bass. The tuna crostini was not as expected and the scallop appetizer was just alright. The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Probably the best we have ever had and we eat this dish all over the world!

Our leasst favorite dish. The fist was not as good as any of the othetr restauents. One of party ordered the pad thai and whether it was tje right dish to order or not ist was horrible

This is our third visit to Simply Fish.
The atmosphere and the sunset on the beach is a definite 10. The service was excellent as well although the waiter did seem a little annoyed that we asked him to take our picture with the sun setting in the background, fabulous view.
Food was very good not great. My lobster tail was pricey but delicious. We were on vacation so anything goes. Dessert was good too. All in all the best view on the beach for dinner. Worth the trip

Well, what can I say!?? Dining on the worlds best beach at sunset can't be all bad! First, they did not have our reservation which was placed 3 months prior. They seemed to carry that attitude a little bit thru the evening. The atmosphere is fantastic, the food leaves much to be desired. All said and done, overpriced and not worth the added price to dine at sunset on the beach. Maybe just a bookwork error, but don't extend that into the evening. Probably would not go back even if we were staying at the Mariott. Far too many restaurants on Aruba to waste your time here. Just an opinion.

Fantastic Dinner and Incredible Service. We decided to have the last Dinner on the Beach and could not have picked a Better Restaurant!!!! 5 STARS

Great food, service, and a beach for your child to build sand castles within twenty feet after dinner if you just want to relax and absorb the terrific surroundings. The menu wasn't extensive, but covered most areas to our satisfaction. Service was very impressive, and having dinner in our bare feet never felt so good. Only negative was the seats sat low to the ground in the sand. A small price to pay for a great suprise.

We probably jsut hot a bad night but this was one of the worst meals I have ever had in any restaurant. My fish was spoiled and destroyed any appeatite I had for this place. Presentation was right out of a hotel type restaurant- both sides in bowls alongside the fish- really uninteresting. Our appetizers and the caeser salad were mediocre. Management handled by not charging us for meal which was the only thing they did right that night. Very disappointign after reading all the great reviews here. Great setting on the beach.
