Savaneta · Seafood, Aruban · $$$$ (estimate)

Named after the Hemingway novel, The Old Man and The Sea serves seafood and Aruban dishes in Savaneta, Aruba. Fresh daily catch is the focus, and the restaurant is set at an adults-only overwater villa resort. The Table Desk, an independent reservation service, book and confirms the table in writing.

The menu opens with fish and shrimp ceviche with papaya and keshi yena with melted Gouda. The daily catch comes with Creole sauce, and lobster tail and shrimp arrive in vodka cream. Thai-glazed duck breast and honey-herb rack of lamb cover the meat side.

The signature setting is private dining in a cabana over the water. The resort also markets proposals and seaside ceremonies. The restaurant appears in our romantic and sunset collections.

This restaurant asks for a credit card to hold tables. After The Table Desk books your table, the restaurant sends its own card step, and you complete it with them directly. We never collect card details for a restaurant.
