Stumbled upon the West Deck after a day of air travel and it exceeded our expectations. Yummy wings and some of the most perfectly cooked shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had. We tried the local dish keshi yena (chicken and gouda), which was to die for. Staff was extremely kind and accommodating, especially our server, Chantal who made us a list of recommendations when we told her it was our first time to the island. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a casual, island vibe. This was out 3rd visit to West Deck. Views are always absolutely stunning. Great spot to catch a romantic sunset pic. Or just enjoy the views while you dine. The food is so delicious and drinks are spot on. This time Pierce was our waiter and he made our visit to fun. He recommended some dishes that definitely did not disappoint. Every time we’re in Aruba this is a must stop! I tried to get photos but my family destroyed the food! We decided to get a bunch of appetizers and try everything. The Garlic shrimp 10/10! The wings cooked perfectly. My son got his naked 9.5/10. The mahi-mahi was our least favorite I would say a 6/10. It needed more seasoning. The calamari was cooked very well and no fishy taste.9/10. My son got a full rack of ribs and he did “the fat boy dance” the entire time he ate. He said a 20/10. I had the fried chicken sandwich. It was a little blan at first but the brought us pickled onions and it went from a 5/10 to an 8.5. The coconut shrimp I was told was delicious and a 9/10. I don’t eat coconut. The key lime pie and the Oreo cheesecake 🤯 delicious!!!!

✨ On my vacation to Aruba, I visited this seafood restaurant and it was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious, and the place is set right in front of a breathtaking ocean view. The best part? While your food is being prepared, you can actually jump into the water and relax. Such a unique experience! Highly recommended! 🌊🍴🐟

West Deck is always my first stop upon landing from the airport. The food is delicious and I especially appreciate that they offer authentic local hot sauce, which adds a delightful kick to my meal. Get ready to enjoy beautiful views of the ocean that make for a perfect dining experience. The prices are reasonable compared to the hotel area of the island. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy local Arubian food!
