Hadicurari Restaurant

We thought this place was terrible. I had tuna which tasted like it came out of a can. Not fresh at all. Expensive and not worth any of it.

We were VERY dissapointed with this restaurant. When we were dropped, it looked so nice....The service was worse than HORRIBLE, and the prices were the HIGHEST of almost anywhere we went....

Such a disappointment. If you want great fish, go to the Pelican Pier. We ate there twice, and the ambiance is the best on the island!

The lunch at hadicurari is very good. I was here with a friend and we both thought that this is a nice place to be. The lunch is good that I will come back next year.

We stayed at the Marriott Surf Club and thought we would stop in at the Hadicurari for lunch. What a mistake! It took us 45 minutes to get 2 salads with chicken. The waiter was clueless, once he took the order we never saw him again - until we had to track him down to find our food (and actually one of our salads had been given to another table). He never came back to take drink orders, refill our drinks, ask if we needed anything, etc. And so our short stop for lunch ended up being about a 90 minute disaster - we should have just eaten at the Marriott. The food was average at best - of course no salad dressing and no waiter to get it.

One bright spot was a young woman (Dutch) who was the only one really tuned in and working at the restaurant. Our waiter dropped and broke dishes and she did the clean up, she got us drinks, she checked on our food after we waited forever - and so thanks to her we actually got fed. Of course we had to corner the waiter to get the bill - because heaven forbid he would actually notice after 90 minutes we would want to pay.

We are in Aruba often, love Flying Fishbone, and many of the lovely restaurants in the area - this one never again. Dr. FV

Great place to be,

I had a realy nice time here. The service is great, the waiters realy wanna help you, and give you a good feeling.

So I realy think you should have been here if you are on Aruba. It is one Happy place to be.

Food is really good. Service is friendly. Makes you feel like they are really happy you are there. Only drawback..Sunday Eves.. WALL TO WALL motercycles at the bar next door.. VERY LOUD when they rev their bikes..which is frequently.. Aruba needs a noise abatement program...they need it quickly....

A good restaurant to get you in an
Aruban mood. Pretty setting especially at sunset time. Seafood was fresh and tastefully presented.

Had dinner here with a group of 8. Several had mahi-mahi and liked it. 3 had the mixed seafood. It was overcooked and looked like a mixture of dicarded fish pieces. The waiter seemed confused as to which piece was what. Me too. Service was annoyingly slow, even by Aruba standards. For value, overpriced. Atmosphere nice, but give me the old fish shack that was torn down to go "upmarket". It had much more characher and value. Will not return.

Food was good, service was slow. Only 3 tables in the restaurant, and 3 servers, so the service should have been faster. I had the filet mignon, and my wife had beef tenderloin gyro. It was a beautiful day and the restaurant was right on the beach.

Wow! What a pleasent find...
My family and I were staying at the Surf Club and we would always walk by this place on the way to the beach. We kind of thought it was more a bar and 'quick' food place more than a fine restaurant. Were we surprised!

It was later in our week and we had already experienced a few other great restaurants and since we were all a little tired we thought we would get something close... I am glad we did.

When we left our room and were walking to the restaurant it started pouring. We took cover for a couple of minutes and then went on. When we got to the restaurant it was kind of empty. There was no one sitting outside (I guess obviously for the prior rain) but there were a few folks inside. As we started to look at the menu in the front the hostess greated us and we were hooked. She made us feel so at home we decided to stop and stay.
The rest of the night was a special experience. Now I know why they have a sign outside stating 'fresh fish'. The fish dinners were out of this world! I had the grouper and it was fantastic. My wife and other family members each had a different dish but they all raved about the way the food tasted and was prepared.
This restaurant is really an unexpected jewel located directly on the beach. The only regret we had is we could not fully experience the outside dining that night because of the rain... but even inside... we were not disappointed. If you want atmosphere plus great seafood... then this is the place! Thanks
