Frommer's Review
In the heart of Oranjestad, this cafe and bistro overlooking the harbor is a short walk from virtually every shop in town. Much of the staff is blond, hip, and European, and the atmosphere is decidedly Dutch. No one minds whether you opt for a drink, a cup of tea or coffee, a snack of sliced sausage and Gouda cheese, or a full-fledged meal. The menu offers everything from Wiener schnitzel to oriental stir-fry; spaghetti Bolognese to mahimahi in white wine sauce. Happy hours change frequently; when they're offered, a festive crowd packs the place.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
