A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

 

Simply Fish is located at the Marriott Hotel, just a quick cab ride from the Radisson. We dined here our first night in Aruba. The palapas that you sit under by day at the beach were transformed at night, providing a wonderful ambiance. There are spectacular sunset views here, make sure to check the times for the best views.

The chef sent out California rolls to the table.

The menu is simple, choose your fish (barramundi, king salmon, corvina, halibut, or mahi mahi) and choose your style (blackened grilled or pan fried). Each order comes with two sides (sliced fried potato, creamy spinach, sweet carrots, fried plantains, steamed asparagus, mashed potato, broccoli or coconut rice). Above, the mahi mahi ($40). A little pricey for a piece of fish and two sides (which were cold).

The macadamia grouper ($37) was tasty and light.

The chocolate cake ($9.50) was good, every bite was rich and delicious.

The tiramisu ($9.50) was not a traditional one, but light and sweet.

Service was good at the beginning but trailed off at the end of the meal, I think that the meal was best described as served on island time.
