Atardi: Barefoot Seafood Dinner at Palm Beach

Palm Beach · Seafood, Caribbean · $$$$ (estimate)

Atardi serves seafood with Caribbean influences at tables set on the sand of Palm Beach, Aruba. The restaurant is set up on the beach each afternoon and has run this way since 2016. Through The Table Desk, you can reserve a table here for a sunset dinner, a romantic evening or a relaxed family meal.

Grilled Caribbean lobster tail in an orange lobster sauce at Atardi, Palm Beach

The name Atardi is the Papiamento word for late afternoon, and that timing shapes the evening. Each afternoon, the tables go up on the beach. Guests eat barefoot close to the water while the light turns toward sunset.

Executive chef Cristiano Guidetti leads a menu built on seafood. Starters include a torched mahi mahi tiradito with aji amarillo and pan-seared scallops over sweet corn purée. Mains run from macadamia-crusted grouper with Thai red curry to Caribbean lobster tail. Devil's food cake flambéed with rum closes the meal.

The Table Desk is an independent reservation service, not the restaurant. You send a date, a preferred time, an optional backup time and your party size. We book your table and send your confirmation by email.

Questions

How do I reserve a table at Atardi through The Table Desk?

Send your date, preferred time, an optional backup time and party size, then pay the flat $20 service fee online by PayPal or card. There is no processing fee on top. Your dinner is paid at Atardi, and the table is set once we confirm it in writing.

What seafood is on the menu at Atardi?

The menu is led by seafood with Caribbean influences. Highlights include torched mahi mahi tiradito with aji amarillo and macadamia-crusted grouper with Thai red curry. A lobster tail and beef filet surf and turf covers guests who want both.

Is Atardi a good fit for a sunset or family dinner?

Yes. Tables are set directly on the sand of Palm Beach each afternoon, so dinner runs into sunset. The setting works for a romantic evening for two and also for a relaxed family meal with everyone barefoot.

What happens if my preferred time at Atardi is not available?

Add a backup time to your booking. We try your preferred time first, then the backup. If neither can be booked, the full $20 service fee is refunded. Once we confirm your table in writing, the fee is non-refundable.

When will I get my confirmation?

We email your confirmation as soon as the restaurant has made your booking. How long that takes depends on the restaurant. If we can't book it, your full $20 is refunded.
