This place is amazing. One of the owners walks around and makes sure everything is just right while the other owner is in the kitchen creating masterpieces. I sat at the bar and had Robert, the bartender, for my waiter. Very friendly and professional. For dinner I had the Prix Fixe Chef's Special and everything was just delicious. Highly recommended. Amazing food and the staff was on point. I almost got turned away as they were full, but the manager(?) overheard and got me a seat at the bar that was perfect for me. The tuna trio app was insane. The red snapper delicious. Both beautifully plated. Drinks and food were spectacular!! We absolutely recommend going! As if Manhattan was in the Dutch Caribbean 🍸🥃 We enjoyed the atmosphere, service and the delicious rum drinks, Manhattan, mushroom risotto and shrimp main course! The cheese plate for dessert changes weekly, highly recommend! 🧀

This is our first visit to Bonaire and the villa owner recommended a series of restaurants on the island, It Rains Fishes being one of them. We had the most romantic sunset dinner with the ocean’s horizon just across the street. From the minute we arrived for our reservation the service was excellent - the hostess, our wait staff - everyone was warm and attentive. The decor is lovely with just the right amount of lighting. Our dishes were quite delicious, perfect portions and the price point was ideal for the quality of the whole experience. We are in Bonaire for 10 days and we’ve already planned to return here to dine again before we leave. Reservations highly recommended- this place is a treasure, but not a secret treasure ☺️

We had an amazing time here. We had dinner and it was very good. We tried the tuna and the sea salad. For main we had the seafood spaghetti and the catch of the day. The white sauce is so amazing. The cocktails are also very nice. We totally recommend it.
