Frommer's Review
Hovering over the water at the end of a short pier, this open-air restaurant is little more than a circular bar surrounded by a ring of dining tables and low-profile sofas nestled dangerously close to the calm water below. Yet two things make this family-run venue remarkable. One is the spectacular setting, with a SoBe feel and unrestricted views of nearby Oranjestad, passing cruise ships, and incoming flights. The other is the fact that they dish up a full menu from the small grill behind the bar -- they prep much of the food off-site, but always grill the crab cakes or marinated, tender steak and shrimp pinchos (skewers) to order. While the salads are uninspiring and the portions are a bit small, the desserts more than make up for it, and the atmosphere is as romantic as it gets.

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.
