👍👍 Fast service and good food with larger portions. I had a really good time here dining by myself—it was the first time no one commented on me eating by myself in Aruba. The server also asked if they needed to call me a taxi because it was a bit late which was really nice. He also made me a different...

    Very chic restaurant. I loved the modern outdoor seating. The food was delicious. I had the beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection. What I particularly liked was that the tenderloin sauce was prepared at the table. For dessert, we shared the NY Cheesecake, the Profiteroles, and the Crepes Suzette. Each of them mouth watering. The Crepes Suzette was prepared at the table which enhanced the dining experience. The service was super friendly and accommodating. Overall, an excellent Aruban dining experience.

    Fast service and good food with larger portions. I had a really good time here dining by myself—it was the first time no one commented on me eating by myself in Aruba. The server also asked if they needed to call me a taxi because it was a bit late which was really nice. He also made me a different drink because I wanted something with hibiscus but the drink I originally wanted wasn’t on the menu.

    Wonderful experience for fine dining. Staff of Jason, Camille, Mr. F and so many others are professional and entertaining. The owners Sven and chef Joann know the importance of detail and offer a wide range of wines and spirits. Enjoy the rabbit, sea bass, or tomahawk steak. And, the pisco sour!

    The food was better than absolute perfection here. Beautifully plated, and in perfect portions! Lovely outdoor seating, and great service! We will definitely be coming back here next time we are in Aruba! I wish I could give more than 5 little stars!

    I honestly thought this going to be a dive bar based on the name... it's actually a highly-polished restaurant with first-class service. I recommend their vegetarian tacos (with mushrooms) and gelato. The flavors are well choreographed and delightful. The atmosphere was relaxed, but attention to detail was not dismissed. The staff are friendly, intelligent, and personable.

    My friend Joanne & Jessica recommended this restaurant and my goodness I have NO REGRETS!! Fantastic knowledgeable service from Christiaan & staff! We had a great time eating your super delicious food and the atmosphere was awesome. The birthday boy was more than happy especially after the whole crew came along to sing Happy Birthday with the carnival masks! Most importantly, everything we ordered tasted great. I’ll be back soon!!!

    This is one of my favorite restaurants on the island. My mom swears that the Jampau prepared here is her favorite fish dish in the world! As of our visit in April 2022, they are renovating the inside, so all dining is outside and the beds are not open. The meals taste delicious and are prepared beautifully.

    Amazing food with amazing service!!! Located across from famous Eagle Beach I had the lamb chops and my wife had the organic chicken both cooked to perfection. Would recommend a must visit when in Aruba.

    I dined alone at Screaming Eagle this evening and I have to say that it was the loveliest dinner I've had in a long time. I had a four-course meal. The fish was cooked to perfection. I also have a gluten allergy and the Team here was gracious and accommodated my needs. They have gluten-free bread and delicious garlic butter to go with it. What made the evening more special is that I was dining to celebrate the anniversary of my dad's passing and they acknowledged that with my dessert. It made me choke up a Lil bit but it was beautiful and I'll always remember the kindness shown. If you're on the fence about going, please visit them. The food is excellent and the Team is even better!

    Incredible food, wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere. We had dinner here at sunset and it was absolutely perfect. Arminda was very attentive, friendly, suggested food/drink, and made our night fun. The ambiance is beautiful, although not directly on the beach it feels as though it is and has incredible sunset views. We had the pork belly for appetizer, so amazing. We both had fish for entrees, both outstanding. Definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in the area.

    My husband and I came here on the last night of our honeymoon and can not say enough great things about this restaurant! Jason and Jimmy waited on us and were hilarious and gave us great food recommendations and amazing service. We got the fish tacos as an app which my husband and I agreed were the best we've ever had. We also got the pork belly which was great as well. For dinner I got the Lamb chops and my husband got the pork shank. We also got the lava cake for dessert which was to die for. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back again!

    Update second review: We had to come here a second time on our vacation. This is by far some of the best food on the island. I could not stop eating the pork shank with the truffle risotto and mushroom wine sauce. The artichoke carpaccio had so many different flavors it was out of this world. My daughter ordered the rabbit and cleaned the plate. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi and loved it. First review: Amazing food and service. It was the first place we ate at after we arrived. I had the pork belly appetizer and the King Clip fish. For a drink, I had a lemonade that was very refreshing. The kids had the fillet mignon from the kids menu. My wife loved the tuna tartar. She was not crazy about the pasta dish. But my son loved that they made gluten free bread for him. He kept asking for it the next day. I would definitely eat here again.

    The food is amazing! We had two great servers for our large party and the waiter Jimmy was such a bundle of fun, laughs and jokes. He instigated the best birthday song I ever received.

  • 4/5 Dr JoAn M. 3 months ago on Google New
    Ate dinner here tonight. Atmosphere is great…eating outside at sunset…wait staff was exceptional. The food…the focaccia was more of a Melba toast. The shrimp tacos were two small tacos, but flavorful. The bang bang shrimp was ok. The Asian sea bass was not good…bell peppers on a bed of mashed potatoes with seaweed and onions…definitely not a good combination of flavors. I will not eat here again.

    For a not so hidden restaurant.. Screaming Eagle is a hidden gem! Driven by it year after year, and we finally dined here. We were blown away by the food and the service. They pay attention to the details!!! Jimmy is the BEST! The food OUTSTANDING!! Every consideration given to the guests that raises the bar to every other dining establishment on Aruba.

  • 5/5 Kaila B. 7 months ago on Google
    We had the absolute best experience at Screaming Eagle. I feel like it’s pretty hard to find an establishment that has not only delicious food but impeccable service these days…but we experienced both during our dinner here. Every staff member was so attentive to us from the moment we entered the restaurant. But special shout-out to Arminda and Jason for taking the best care of us. Arminda surprised us with a dessert to celebrate our anniversary. We would 100% come back and recommend to anyone visiting Aruba!

    My husband and I came here for dinner the second night of our honeymoon. We ordered the pork shank and the gnocchi with duck. Both dishes were presented amazing and came pretty quickly after ordering. The truffle risotto which came as a side to the pork shank was unbelievably good. And the pork literally fell right off the bone, it was so tender and delicious. My husbands duck was very good along with the fried gnocchi- very cheesy and filling though. The service was great. And the sunset just over the trees was a beautiful plus.

    If you have to choose a last dinner, look no further, the quality of the food, the service and atmosphere won't deceive you. Forget overcrowded barefoot restaurants and try the Screaming Eagle. Great selection of wines, desserts and kids menu!

  • 5/5 Andrew K. 7 months ago on Google
    Came into this place for dinner and I was pretty impressed with my food. I started off with the shrimp tacos....wow they were amazing. Then I had the yellowtail tuna... the combination of the sides with the tuna matched well. I was beyond impressed. I would recommend to get this place as dinner. Currently they don't have indoor seating causing you to sweat like crazy.

  • 5/5 Brittney L. 11 months ago on Google
    Everything about my experience here was wonderful! Staff was extremely friendly, attentive and professional. Food was amazing! Everything from the drinks to entreés were exceptionally executed. Didn’t get a chance to have dessert as we were so full from our meals, but extremely pleased nonetheless. Will absolutely be back on the next trip to Aruba!

  • 5/5 Mackenzie M. 6 months ago on Google
    I'm giving 5 stars although our service wasn't that great at the beginning.. shout out to jason (I think) he turned things around and ended up being hilarious and super nice. they were busy so it's fine and it won't deter me from going again because this meal was excellent. The duck liver creme brulee was the most amazing thing I've ever had. No exaggeration. It was phenomenal and the rest of the food and wine we got were also excellent. Bacon wrapped grouper and octopus salad were delicious and cooked well. Also the starter bread with garlic butter spread??? SO GOOD. Would highly recommend based on food alone!

    We were staying at the Aruba Breeze, condos and Screaming Eagle was right up the street, walking distance for dinner. Reservations were required on our Friday night, but the chef was willing to cook wahoo that we caught earlier that day. We gave her creative rights and she came through! She made appetizers like ceviche & fish tacos, and individual dinner entrees with risotto (the best!), mashed and asparagus. Excellent service and work by the chef, Joanne! I still crave those fish tacos!

  • 4/5 Rachel R. 2 years ago on Google
    Dinner was very good! I had pasta and my husband had the fish special. Everything was delicious. My sister got the steak, and they made the sauce right at our table. Nice atmosphere. Service was excellent until it was check time. We waited over an hour to get the check - no one stopped by to check on us, nothing! We would have ordered more drinks and desserts, but after dinner was served we got forgotten about. We also spent close to $500 and a manger never came out to greet us or thank us for coming by. This may just be an Aruba thing, but definitely shocked.

    By far, this is our favorite restaurant in Aruba. We have had our most memorable meals here. I’ll begin with the ambiance. It is open air outdoor seating. You can’t beat the Aruba warm air and nice breezes. Next, the wine selection. There are limited choices but they are thoughtful choices. Whereas other high end Aruba restaurants had mediocre wines that were offensively marked up, this restaurant had high quality, highly rated wines for the same price per bottle. The service is the best we’ve ever received. The food is just another story all together. You can tell the owner has very high standards and from start to finish, things are just perfect. Please, look no further for a romantic dinner in Aruba!

    This place is super classy! They are organized with their reservations, very modern and high tech. The seating outdoors is awesome! Even though it’s not on the beach directly, we had a good view of the sunset. Our server Andre was a good mix of charisma and action. He took care of us. Even though it took a bit longer to get our food that we liked, overall the results was delicious

    Chris is the best waiter on the island. He gets 5 stars alone. We follow him wherever he goes ! He’s super friendly, attentive, and never gets our order wrong. The atmosphere here is great, but the food is a little pricey for what you get. My entree was by far the best, but still relatively small for the price. The shrimp sashimi didn’t taste super fresh but was still good. Def recommend the shrimp tacos for apps (Chris recommendation) and also my entree which was the Kingclip (also Chris recommendation) the dessert was fantastic with a lot of options and crepes suzette at the table !
