    The newest most beautiful best service full menu restaurant on the island. I loved the escargot, the garlic mushrooms, the crunchiest onion rings and the delicious side sauces. I love love love the BlackBerry Mojito. I wish I had a picture of that delicious glass of pure happiness. I can't thank Genesis my server enough for your sunny service, you are the sunshine for me at the restaurant and making me feel so happy and welcome. I cant wait to go for breakfast and try to Japanese and Belgian and American and Dutch pancakes with a fresh squeezed orange juice. Or a tequila bloody Mary. See you this Sunday.

    Imma take a star away from Yolo because the service, location, and drinks were good! The food not so much! Let's start with the first welcome which was a good one! All the staff was friendly and helpful! Gave good recommendations but the food was just okay! Pros: amazing location, cute date night or birthday dinner spot! Amazing drinks and Friendly staff!! The calamari was delicious, and my daughter enjoyed her lasagna! Cons: The food was inconsistent! The lamb chops were bland, and I knew they would be so I asked for some type of glaze on the side but couldn't get the accommodations! Also for the price, you would have thought you'll get more but nope! Baby Chops!! Second my sister's ribs were very salty and it was probably the gravy so get on the side! The ribs weren't falling off the bone either per the description! Also, they added some Lil peanuts on the top which could have stayed off!! The wait for the food was a bit much! I ordered a side of lobster tail with my Lamb chops and the server brought all the food out and then came to ask me if I still wanted the lobster because it was a 30.00 add-on!! SIR, I didn't ask you for a price! I ordered what I wanted! So after me saying duh I want he went to put the order in! 15/20 mins later still no lobster! That kind of made me upset insinuating I couldn’t afford the lobster tail may be, but neither less the lobster never came! Left a bitter taste in my mouth! 7/10 Will not come again!!

    Everything was great! The food, service & drinks. The lamb chops were so good as well as the eggplant Parm. Perfect portion sizing to share so that you can try a few different tapas. They also have a later happy hour deal with 40% off drinks and live music.

    Nothing very special in terms of food selection, and it certainly didn’t equate to cost. Had the filet mignon skewers. They were a bit cold. Truffle fries were good and plentiful enough to share. Mimosa was nice, pretty strong. Atmosphere is welcoming snd service is good. Not a bad place to party at night, however if you’re looking for a memorable meal, this just wouldn’t be my first suggestion.

    Best iced coffee and delicious breakfast! My boyfriend and I became repeat customers on our trip because of the iced coffee alone, and the waitress remembered us by the second time which is always nice :) looking forward to coming back on my next trip!

    We really enjoyed the place. The food was delicious, service was great. We ended up ordering a few dishes from neighbor restaurant Temptation as well. We loved seafood from Yolo and steaks cooked by ourselves on the hot stone. Food was delicious. Our table faced the street and we enjoyed the view. We definitely recommend this place and next door Temptation

    Breakfast is good (try the Japanese souffle pancakes), the drinks are pricey but unique and good, the tapas menu is meh; but in reality most people go to this place at night for its club vibe (they had live Latin music the last time I was there then a DJ). It's small so people get packed in, but I think that is part of the attraction. Since it's small it looks busy and draws in even more people. The staff are all really friendly.

    Really enjoyed the food here. Reasonably price compared to the other restaurants in the area. Portions were a little bigger then expected. For tapas. We had a large group and everyone got a little something different. No complaints.

    Jose and Mike are the best, thank you for a fun time. Service was fantastic and the food was great. Steak Tartare and the Filet Minon skewers were excellent. The lasagna was amazing. Have gone twice and going back again before we leave. Went to alot of restaurants on our trip and this was the best meal and service we experienced.

    Taco Tuesday is a scam! They hook you with 1$ tacos but the only 1$ taco is veggie...(fine I'm cheap) That wouldn't be the only problem, got chicken fajitas, and whatever hot coal rock they serve it on completely OVER COOKED the chicken!! Very tough to eat, chips were stale really not a good eating experience, cheap price/cheap food...go to the other restaurants in aruba

😠 Pay attention to the menu. Entrees are appetizer sized. Prices are far too high and to top it off our server was horrible.

👍👍 We in general like fancy restaurants. We are from NY. And have eaten at our fair share of nice places. Last nights dinner was absolutely delicious and was the best meal we had on Aruba. I had the lobster tail. Unbelievable. I could say the same for the octopus and tuna appetizer. This is a must for...

👍 Great service! Loooved the chorizo and chicken montaditos! The steak was amazingly seasoned and they give you a ton of fries/sweet potatoes fries.
