Brutto Aruba - Noord

The place was beautiful the aesthetics were gorgeous. It was a weird entrance if you’re coming from the parking lot you have to go all the way around and through another restaurant it’s strange. It appeared a little hard to find for us at first if driving it’s 3 restaurants in one space but the sign isn’t visible . Also beware if wearing heels ladies it’s a path with wide spaced concrete to step on and many rocks between . The food looked beautiful as far as presentation but the seasoning was not good at all. The most flavorful thing we ate was the brussel sprouts . All of our entrees were bland . The miso salmon, spicy rigatoni and the lobster Mac. No seasoning whatsoever! Also the wait staff made us feel rushed and kept interrupting us in our conversation. It’s not nice to feel we are having a meaningful talk and staff is trying to clean the table and reach across us . If guests are speaking the waiter and busboy staff should give them a few moments and let them signal. Overall this place has great potential but it’s not the quality of dining that matches the look or the price point . I wouldn’t go again unless they have new chefs . It’s beautiful for pictures and maybe drinks (we had mocktails so I can’t say if the drinks are strong or well made .

It was absolutely delicious and the place is so beautiful. We loved the terminator roll and shrimp dumplings for starters. We then shared the catch of the day, lobster mac cheese, and mushroom risotto. Which were all fantastic. 

Aside from the Cerviche, the rest of the food was bland and got us both sick

Probably one of the best restaurants on the island. Food was superb.

Service was terrible. Food was great. Our server only ordered one dish for the two of us.
