“ My best friend recommended this place due to the proximity of the beach, the ability for us to get a spot right next to the sand, and the food. Our kids played in the sand while waiting for our food, which made it pleasant. The food was good. The three kids split two plates, and we just had them snack on whatever they wanted. Service was okay, our waiter wasn't very attentive, and we were the only ones present for a while. If you choose to eat outside, be prepared to watch all the birds attempt to take whatever you have, they are fast. ”

“ There was live music playing and the doors were open to the beach. The food took some time to come out, but overall everything was pretty good. They have inside and outside seating, so you could walk up from the beach and sit outside. Prices were good for lunch since the restaurant is on the beach. ”

“ I absolutely love this place .. if you're in the Lauderdale by the sea area then you need to stop by here. The food is absolutely delicious. I have been here for happy hour many times and the prices are amazing, and food is always great. last night We were here and ordered the seafood tower which I couldn't believe was only $38 and we ordered a steak ..both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend it. The ambiance is casual. I took one star away because of the service we had to literally ask three times for our waters. Our food was served and we still didn't have our drinks. Other than that. It was truly a great experience.. And to top it off the beach is two steps away so eat then go sit by the water ”

“ Great vibes! New restaurant to add to the rotation................... I Would go back with friends and family. ”

“ This was our first time here. Amazing location right on the beach with both indoor and outdoor dining. There is a large bar in the corner as you walk in, as well as a guy playing the steel pan drums which was a nice touch giving the restaurant a nice Caribbean feel. A large menu with salads, sandwiches, burgers, a lot of seafood, and more. Our waiter Geoffrey was friendly and attentive. We started with the crispy calamari and the peel and eat shrimp as appetizers, both of which were really good; the shrimp were large and the calamari was light and flaky and cooked just right. For our entrees, we had the baked stuffed shrimp, a fish sandwich, and the twin fish tacos. Note for the tacos, they gave me the choice of mahi or cod; I chose cod and it was delicious. All of the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I would recommend this place and hope to make it back. ”

“ Great spot to catch a drink and eat. Madison our waitress was a delight. The food was very good as well. The atmosphere is so cool and laid back. You'll feel at ease once you walk in. Go have a great time and walk the beach after. ”

“ What I ordered: bread, Steak and shrimp scampi, pina colada Price: $65 Overall thoughts: great vibes, delicious food, and outstanding service. PRESENTATION & CREATIVITY- I believe all food is art. This meal was fantastic. It was presented neatly and I can tell they took good care creating my food. Even the drinks looks great. QUALITY & TASTE- Everyone has their own opinion of preferences of taste. This meal was so deliciously I'm full and want more! The steak was so good and juicy, the drinks weren't too strong but had a good amount of alcohol. That bread is so good you have to get the bread! SERVICE & HOSPITALITY- One aspect of a great experience at an establishment is the service of the staff. At this location, the staff was so friendly. Diego at the front podium was so friendly and told me all about the restaurant which convinced me to come in. I was originally just taking a walk by the beach but Diego's friendliness convinced me to come in. I ended up getting drinks and dinner. My waitress Niki was so friendly as well. She had great recommendations. The atmosphere is so great, they always have live music. VARIETY OF OPTIONS- Some establishments offer very diverse menu. At this establishment, they have lots of option. If you are vegetarian, they have impossible burger. BANG FOR YOUR BUCK? Is this a good price for the quality of food? YES! It's a great time and good food! EXTRA NOTES: just go there ”

“ Went out tonight and ended up at Arubas in Lauderdale by the sea. We had a great time with a great bartender Connor, picture below so if you go to the bar ask for him. The band had us up and dancing. Couldn't ask for a for a better evening out with friends, ”

“ I've been coming to Aruba's since they first opened in the early 80's when LBTS was a sleepy town with not much there. It was way before all the plethora of restaurants and metered parking were there. I used to come here for business lunches, meeting up with girlfriends, a dinner with my main man, and a tropical beverage before heading out for the evening. Since I hadn't done a recent review, it's been waaay longer than I realized since I was here last. We love "playing tourist" and it was nice to be near the beach. We sat at the bar as I'd read online that they had a special lunch menu offer by doing so. The offer is 50 percent off most items except for the raw bar for items under $15 and a discount of $7.50 from other more expensive items. It's a summer special so assume it will run through the end of September. My husband was craving a classic burger so that's what he ordered. He said the burger was excellent with a lot of grill flavor and all the fixings. I got their fried grouper sandwich. It was larger than expected. I wound up eating the fish without the bun. Both items came with a side of french fries. Before our food, however, we both enjoyed (another special) adult beverage. They had $4 margaritas which were very, very good. I'm not much of an alcoholic drinker but I loved the mix they used. And how perfect on a hot day for an ice-cold refreshing and frothy limey drink. We got very good and friendly service from the bar personnel -- two gals -- which was delightful as we are an older couple that doesn't fit the usual profile. We enjoyed our food and drinks and the view of the beach and ocean. We've decided we've got to do this more often and come back soon. ”
