Chef’s Tables

last night we had the good fortune to return to chef's tables for the first time in a few years. the decor is lovely and you have a choice of indoor or outdoor dining which is great. last night there was little wind so indoor dining was our choice. there were four of us and we started with various salads. two had apple and blue cheese salad, one had mixing bowl, and one had smoked salmon and shrimp. we followed that with Green crusted whole rack of New Zealand lamb, Fillet of Grouper with herbs, almonds and tomato, Grouper cheese crust and white wine sauce, and Chef's Tables Fish Trio. finally, each of us had 3 items from the list of tapas desserts and coffee or latte for all of us. the service was quite attentive and the foods were excellent and i think my only complaint was that after several trips there i have my favorite desserts. i would have loved a full portion on one of them. tapas are a great idea for sampling but sometimes you really want to stick with one item. three tapas does not make one real portion, lol. all in all, the place was in my top ten restaurants over the last few years.

This adorable little piece of happiness is one of Aruba's best hidden secrets! Their cheese encrusted grouper is to die for, as well as the rack of lamb! We have gone back twice this year. Just awesome!

Since they opened, Chefs Tables has never disappointed. We knew we could request and when we made our reservations we did just that. The chef, who was once chef at Marandi, makes the most wonderful mustard soup and I couldn't wait to have it again. The veal osso bucco is melt in your mouth good and once again I asked them to prepare it for me and they were kind enough to do just that. We stay, in Aruba for three weeks every November and make it a point to go there once a week. Every meal has left us wanting more and the service is almost as good as the food.
