Flying Fishbone: Dinner at the Shoreline in Savaneta
Flying Fishbone serves seafood with European and Caribbean influences in Savaneta, Aruba, with tables on the beach and in the shallow water. Water tables are for the 4 PM seating; for a sunset dinner, ask for a beach table. The restaurant says it was the first in Aruba to popularize dining on the sand.
What guests love
- Toes-in-the-water tables. Tables are set right in the shallow sea off Savaneta, so guests eat with warm water around their ankles and maybe a curious crab at their toes.
- Sunset over the Caribbean. Guests describe watching the sun sink into the sea from their table as the most romantic part of the evening.
- Staff who look after you. Reviewers mention friendly, patient servers who make families feel welcome and turn birthdays into a small celebration at the table.
The tables set this place apart. Some sit on the beach, others stand in the shallow water. Water tables are for the 4 PM seating; beach tables suit sunset. Flying Fishbone says it was the first Aruban restaurant to popularize dining on the sand.
The menu mixes seafood with European and Caribbean cooking. Grilled tiger shrimp skewers come with risotto, and the lobster casserole adds blue cheese and shiitake. Duck breast over linguine with sesame, rack of lamb with ratatouille and the fish of the day cover the rest.
The Table Desk is an independent service, not the restaurant. You pay a $20 service fee online, and the meal is paid at Flying Fishbone.
