The Kitchen Table

May 25, 2025

I hate that I have to be a little picky when writing this review but as I'm paying a decent amount for the meal I expect a certain level of quality. First off, the service was impeccable. You are made to feel very welcome with a glass of champagne upon arrival. The seating was a nice change of pace, as you're quite literally at a dinner table and not one of those half circle tables. Then there's the food. The ceviche was incredible, lots of lime flavors that was very nice. The shrimp and potato dish was nice, didn't blow me away. The broth for the soup was very good, but some of the other flavors were very muted and sort of missing. The cracker on top was confusing. Then there's the fish course. The sauce was broken first off all, and the endive lettuce was from the bitter center section with the butt left on. It didn't hit with me. Next was the "tenderloin" which was not tender at all. Very chewy, like it wasn't cut properly. The sauce was great though, and the 3 veggies were just there, no real purpose. The tiramisu was fantastic. There was also 2 other dishes that I forgot to take pictures of. One was a vegetarian mushroom pastry, very good. The other a purple corn popsicle, also very good. Not sure that I would come back unless the menu was revamped a little.

First time dining at the Kitchen Table. Saved it for our last meal on the Island and saved the best for last. Absolutely delicious meal from start to finish. We had the wine pairing menu which went so well with the courses that we had. The staff were so attentive, always ready to refill our glass of wine. Every course was outstanding from the Ceviche to the dessert. The host was very knowledgeable about the wines created a speaking point about every dish as well. The chef was amazing and I really appreciate all the detail he put into every dish. Great to see someone takes such immense pride in his work. Highly recommend frequenting the Kitchen Table if you have the chance. You will definitely not be disappointed. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

This is the BEST FINE DINING EXPERIENCE in Aruba. We ate there in January 2022 and were delighted to return last evening. Host Andres is welcoming, kind, attentive, and personable. Chef Marco prepared food that delighted our eyes and our tastebuds equally. None of us could choose a favorite course as we loved all of the courses equally. Will certainly go back as soon as we return to sunny Aruba!

The Kitchen Table is a must do experience while in Aruba🙌🏻🇦🇼👨🏻‍🍳 It truly is a dining experience. A well paced 8 course chef tasting menu. It’s educational. Elegant. Entertaining. And Enjoyable. From start to finish. Deliciousness in each bite. Plan in advance. Secure a reservation. Limited to 12 people. It’s a great place to celebrate a birthday or a milestone. You may start the experience as strangers but you leave with new friends… It’s a 3 hour, 5 star experience. A place where you can be fully present. A place to slow down and sip and savor the good life. One bite at a time~ The Kitchen Table Aruba Style.

My first trip to Aruba and it has been amazing! The kitchen Table lived up to expectations, as well. Beautiful, pleasant family atmosphere. Strangers became family instantly! The food plated gorgeously and all eight courses delicious, to the eye and belly! Service, oh my goodness, you must experience! I loved that each course was explained and beverages topped off throughout the meal. Never an empty glass. Wine pairing is extraordinary and extra fee, but well worth the experience. Tasted wines from around the world throughout the 8 courses! I celebrated my birthday with this top of the line dinner. Enjoyed it immensely!!!
