Be prepared for an 8 course gustatory experience that rivals any James Beard/Michelin Star restaurants we have ever been to .Each course was artfully presented and well prepared. A must go experience. read less

Come with an empty stomach & be prepared to be blown away! Every dish tops the previous dish. They made me feel extra special because it was my birthday! The staff was friendly and the chef was exceptionally talented. Ignore any bad review, I honestly don't know what they are talking about. The food and drinks were incredible and can't wait to visit Aruba again! They accommodated our pescatarian diet without any hesitation. Everything was perfect, just WOW! Pure perfection! read less

The dinner was very delicious and very creative. It is quite the culinary experience and it lasted for three hours. You are seated with a group of people at a long table.

The Kitchen Table was a very special evening during our Aruba vacation. We dined at the same table with other vacationers. With only 16 table seats the atmosphere was that of an intimate dinner party. Each course was beautifully presented and full of local and Peruvian flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant for your fine dining experience. read less

The hospitality from start to finish was some of the best I've ever experienced. The evening began with a warm welcome from Andres, some prosecco, and introductions to the other diners. After everyone arrived, we were led upstairs to the private dining area and the meal commenced. Everything was cooked to order. While they may be receptive to dietary needs, I think that the best way to experience TKT is with an open mind. I would not recommend this for children or picky eaters. We opted for the additional wine pairing and the pours were generous. I was sad when the evening came to an end because it was one of the best tasting menus I've ever had. The company was fantastic. Shout out to Hannah and Chase from Nebraska and Bobby and Lisa from outside of Boston! read less

The manager Andres was very attentive and the Sous Chef did an amazing job. Every course was perfectly balanced, well thought out, had interesting and unusual ingredients and was very healthy! If you are looking for flavors that are unlike the norm and totally delish, this is the place for you. We had a very intimate evening and made new friends! The portions are very generous, you will not leave hungry. This is a must do culinary journey! I do want to mention that the table is for 8-12 people. They had reservations for 8 and 4 no showed the night of our reservation. It was a disgrace regarding the no shows because the chef really worked his heart out for us, and the 4 who did not come (and did not have the courtesy to cancel) had to nerve to make special dietary requests, so he had re-worked the menu specifically for them. If you make a reservation, please show up! read less

The chefs menu was superb on all accounts. Just when you thought the last dish couldn't be topped, another one comes along and surprises you. The staff was just as exceptional with being very attentive and knowledgeable on the ingredients, way of cooking, etc. I enjoy the seating arrangement of eating together as a large group, I enjoyed talking to those seated on either side of me; however, I could see those who are more at-risk with Covid might want to wait for a vaccine. read less

The chef creations were fantastic, the wine well paired, and the ambiance was lovely. Each course was beautifully plated and the flavors were amazing. The aspect that was most unexpected was our hosts’ ability to create a family out of a group of complete strangers which made the evening unforgettable. What an experience! read less

Aside from the main dish of mahi mahi, which tasted dry and slightly overcooked, all the other dishes were incredibly tasty and unique. We were given time to digest in the middle of the courses and enjoy a Prosecco drink outside. I declined since I don’t drink bubbly drinks. We were handed a lovely packed box of 2 macaroons to go, but they were way too sweet for me. All in all, dining was a lovely experience. read less

Enjoyed the meal very much, although plan ahead as it spans 3-4 hours in all. They were great in customizing my wife’s vegetarian menu, and from the sounds of it she enjoyed all of it. They also made a last minute customization to my menu - I do not eat beef and due to drop in communication miscommunication, this was not clear to them prior to the meal. They whipped up a pretty great entree last minute. One recommendation I would make is on the “presentation”. While the reason the chef didn’t introduce himself or the food due to a language barrier, I would highly recommend he do so, with a translator. At the end of the day, I am dining at a chef’s table and would love that interaction. I’ve experienced this at other places and it honestly adds a flair to the experience. Great all around and highly recommended if you’re in Aruba! read less

This restaurant seats about 6-7 couples for a preset and surprise menu (although they did accommodate pre informed food restrictions). We were warmly greeted with welcome Prosecco drinks downstairs were we met the other couples. Then led upstairs to a beautifully set group table where we had a very tasty 8 course meal. I really can’t say enough about the quality and effort put into the food resulting in a delicious meal with very pleasant company, both local and international guests. Every course was rung in with a bell and explanation. The presentation of the courses were beautiful. I really can’t recommend this restaurant enough. read less

So much, so that we can't wait to find a tasting menu 8 course restaurant close to home when we return to Michigan. The other couples that we sat and shared this experience with helped make the night that much better. Everybody was so nice and by the end of the dinner you feel like you had been friends for a while. Hard to say what was the best dish of the meal because everything was so spectacular. Knew this would be a great meal and experience but the wonderful staff and chefs helped elevate this experience even further. If you are questioning the price just know that it is absolutely worth the price and you will have zero regrets, that I can promise. You are on vacation, live a little. Will be returning to this restaurant when we come back to Aruba. read less
