We loved this place, the food, the service, & attention to detail (lemon/mint water, lemon/mint hand towels) was great. The Cornish mussels were outstanding, we also had a special the “goat cheese & Mediterranean salad” fresh & vibrant blend of flavors (very filling for a main dish salad) AND, the best of all was our waiter Levi. He was outstanding in his personality & follow thru. We will be back. Thanks Levi!!!! -Your US friends�
Amazing food, definitely recommend the seafood sharing platter if you're peckish �
Me and my fiancé recently held our engagement party in Aruba, and it was absolutely perfect! We booked a comfy space for our family on the sofas then ate in the restaurant. Rose was particularly amazing! She was very accommodating and did everything she could to ensure our party were happy and comfortable. The food was great and everything was brought out on time and the servers were excellent and well organised. We were very happy with everything during our experience at Aruba and so were our guests! :) a great venue, amazing staff, and great food and drinks.
Great place, love the decor and the views to the beach. Food was amazing we had the salad and ribs, we loved it. The drinks were lovely too
Great views, staff are friendly. Had tempura prawns to start and main was the steak frites with blue cheese sauce. Was really good!
Aruba was a really unique restaurant. It's just before Bournemouth's Pier. There is a few.options on the menu and the burger was amazing....
I had a small plate and a main and I was very full. Honestly, the portions are great for what you are paying anf the flavour is also great, the texture of the meat was great and it wasn't too hot or too cold. It was just in the right temprature to be eaten.
Eating outside is highly recommended as the view is amazing, you can dee the whole beach and pier and the best thing is that even if there are smokers and you don't like smoking, the breeze will take it away.
The staff was amazing, always smiling and did thekr best to make me laugh. They were patient and provided some good suggestions.
Playlist was also decent, I guess they could add a few more songs with tropical vibes as the songs were quite basic to be called "Aruba" but this is really just optional. I had an amazing time here and i'd come again when I come back to Bournemouth.
Visited in the evening for drinks, lovely atmosphere! We're from Leicester so we expect the typical drunk idiots, people where SO friendly here! Went the next day for breakfast, worth every penny and the staff are amazing. Will be back for sure.
Stopped off for an early dinner with my sister before a gig. Lovely atmosphere and service, food was amazing! Would definitely visit again!
We only stopped for a cocktail but sat outside the view is awesome 180° panoramic of the sea and beach to either side. I really like the venue, funky modern, but the tables were also quite elegantly made up for dinner. The bar man was most engaging and entertaining whilst he made our cocktails. I had the Zombie which was a bit crazy and certainly a good flare lighting the rum in a passion fruit cup. Definitely worth a look.
After visiting here on Sunday evening for dinner and Monday for drinks we decided to make a return last night and we wasn't disappointed. We were greeted by a great manager called Michael who couldn't do enough for us and who was supported by a great team in Kevin, Molly and Ashleigh. The restaurant was heaving with customers but each member of staff were in full control of everything and you could clearly see that client care was a top priority. What a great team. We both enjoyed our night immensely and that was mainly because of you guys! Thank you so much and we will definitely be back soon. Great cocktails girls!!! Xxx
Amazing experience with Lexie, first time In Bournemouth and definitely worth it ☺️
I recently had the pleasure of visiting this amazing bar where I met this incredible lady called Lexi. Her customer service skills are second to none! She greeted us with a smile and ensured we felt welcome throughout our entire visit.
The food was also top-notch. Lexi made some of the best dishes we've ever had. Her recommendations were spot on and she went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed the meal so much that we ended up ordering more! And Lexi was very accommodating.
Overall, I highly recommend this bar and especially Lexi as the main attraction. She made our night one to remember. Her professionalism and warm personality are a rare combination, and we will definitely be back soon! Keep up the good work, Lexi!
