    Lobster tail
    Nurialys R.

    Great food, I got the shrimp and clams pasta, lobster and lava cake for dessert and everything was absolutely yummyyyy!!!! beautiful ocean view, and excellent service from Matthew. We'll definitely be back.

    Elegant dinning room with above average food at a Michelin 5 star price. Our waitress couldn't have been sweeter, she was on top of her game with waiting on us. We walked in 15 minutes after they opened. We were the 3rd table to be seated and no one came in after us for at least 30 minutes. So it wasn't very busy until later in the evening. Our waitress told us about the chef's special which was a high end cut of steak. 3 people at our table ordered the special. About 10 minutes after we ordered our waitress came back and said they only had 2 specials left. How do you run out of the chef special in the first hour of business with only 3 tables of people in the whole restaurant? Anyway I tried the Seafood Risotto which really should have been called Scallop Risotto, 3 shrimp and 1 little lobster tail cut in half with about 15 little scallops. Someone else at my table got the lobster Mac & Cheese and the topped pork chop. I tried both, the Mac and cheese was just ok but the pork chop was delicious. So get the pork chop and skip the overpriced seafood.

    Small orange juice with pulp
    Andrew T.

    I really wanted to like this place, but the experience fell well short of expectations--especially considering the final bill. * The orange juice was $6, extremely small (maybe 4 oz), and had so much pulp I actually had to chew it. * The water bottle cap had visible mold on it, which is unacceptable and concerning from a sanitation standpoint. * A double espresso cost $8, which would be fine if the overall experience justified it. The biggest issue was the Blue Crab Benedict. The crab cake was cold in the center, and more troubling, the crab itself had a distinctly sour taste. I deconstructed the dish and tried each component separately--the sourness was clearly coming from the crab, not the sauce or egg. That's a serious red flag for seafood and I couldn't finish it. To be fair, the waffle was absolutely amazing--crispy, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The only miss there was the whipped butter, which had clearly been re-chilled and turned crumbly instead of spreadable. All in, the bill came to around $90, plus a 22% service fee, with an additional tip still recommended. At that price point, I expected far better food quality, attention to detail, and basic sanitation. This place has potential, but between the food safety concerns, temperature issues, and the cost, this was not a brunch I'd feel comfortable recommending.

    Great dinner with an amazing ocean view. The lobster was really good, and Matthew took great care of us.

    After a long day of traveling we were starving and dining at Ocean 2000 was the perfect start of our vacation. Our server was very attentive and great at giving detailed answers to our questions. He was also spot on either some great suggestions. I appreciate when a server has tried the items you are ordering or thinking about ordering to get their suggestions and opinions. Everything including cocktails, appetizers, salad, bread service and entrees were excellent. Oysters were deemed some of the best and the calamari was light and tender. The absolute only improvement could have been my steak was a tad overcooked (ordered medium and came out medium well) and the plates were "noisy" when the utensils hit the plates. I think there is a texture to the entree plates and although attractive, they kind of feel like running your fingers on a chalkboard. Overall excellent meal - cheers!

    Sunday brunch buffet
    Grace S.

    Beautiful view with fewer options.. Parking: plan to valet or uber. There is really no public parking Drinks: Sunday brunch included juices, coffee, tea, champagne, mimosas and bloody Mary's Food: food was fantastic. My only complaint is that pre pandemic there were double the amount of options. I thought for $75, the selection could have been more Service: Decent service for a buffet experience Atmosphere/vibe: super nice and chill with music playing in the background Age group: all Bathroom: hotel bathroom that was just fine Return: maybe if I head they have added back more options to the Sunday brunch

    The epitome of waterfront dining at this restaurant located in the Pelican Grand Beach Resort on the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale. We valet parked for $10 up to two hours at the restaurant. We sat at the outdoor patio with beautiful panoramic ocean views from the veranda. I had the fish and chips $20. It was fresh and delicious. Our server was very friendly and exceptional. It was a beautiful day so diners were sitting outside. There are not many restaurants directly on the beach in South Florida, so it's a real treat to have a view.

    Had breakfast at this location on a weekday, wasn't busy. Service was friendly and knowledgeable, however slow and never refilled drinks. Food was ehh... Nothing special. On another evening had dinner via room service. Hot and in the room in under 30 minutes, friendly service. Many more dinner options, good portion, ok on the flavor. Might be even better in the restaurant.

    Blue Crab Cake Benedict
    Spencer N.

    A nice view of the ocean, decent prices, and decent food. The dining area is nice, most tables have at least a partial view of the ocean from where you sit. It wasn't overly decorated, and didn't feel super fancy for their brunch. I had the Crab Cakes Benedict. The potatoes were pretty good, a couple were sort of soggy and oily. But mostly we're pretty good. The English muffin was maybe a little overcooked. I had a hard time cutting through it and kind of just submitted to deconstructing the meal and eating the components individually. The crab was good though and the egg was cooked well. Not the best Benedict I've had but it was good enough. The service was good enough. Our server was friendly when we interacted with her. But we drained our water pitcher and it was empty for a while. So her attentiveness was a little lacking. If the place was busy I would have understood, but it was pretty empty and quiet. The food came out within about 15 minutes of ordering. So it was quick. The service experience was fine across the board, but definitely wasn't a stand out moment. I would say across the board they are very middle of the road. Nothing blew me away, but also, nothing was bad. Prices are about what I would expect for our meal. If you are close by and want a view of the ocean and a meal, it's a good stop. I wouldn't go out of your way to visit.

    This restaurant is gorgeous! Right in the ocean with a wonderful view of the beach front and water. The food was just ok. Nothing spectacular. I had something from each dish that I can speak highly of but the cohesiveness wasn't there. The Ahi tuna taco app was probably my favorite. The oysters Rockefeller were bland and had no flavor. The red snapper was over seasoned and a small piece of fish for $49. The sauce on the plate was delicious. The rack of lamb again bland but the risotto and sauce amazing. The lobster Mac was a generous portion but had a sweetness that I didn't care for. They charge a mandatory 22% hospitality fee which is insane. And also explains why the restaurant is empty on a Saturday night during the boat show. I have attached a copy of the receipt for proof. Four drinks, two entrees and an app.....$255!! Unacceptable

    Zoe C.

    The Crab & Lobster Cakes and the Grilled Octopus were both great. However, the Caesar Salad, the Chopped Salad and the PEI Mussels were disappointing. The salads lacked flavor and the mussels were very tiny. Dinner was good, but I would not go out of my way to come back here.

    Soup was not that good

Drinks and service were great I ordered the Greek salad from the Happy Hour menu $7 The tomatoes were a little squishy but overall a good salad for the price. The Happy Hour menu didn't have any seafood so I ordered a blackened fish sandwich at mkt price $27 It was over cooked. I didn't mention it to the bar tender but when I didn't eat much of it, she asked me if something was wrong with it. I told her it was overcooked and she spoke to the manager and discounted the dish. I'm giving 4stars because the atmosphere and service was great. Aruba's is and has been a beach staple, they have live music or a DJ nearly all the time. Fun dancing spot with an adult crowd 30's-60's. Plenty of regulars and tourists patrons. Tip! It's cheaper to park at the restaurant than the $20/ hr city lot across the street. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the mood for a fun beach atmosphere with amazing views of the ocean. I've also eaten in the main dining room before. Everyone gets an ocean view. This is the kinda place that can double duty as a romantic dinner as well.

    This a a review for Sunday brunch…read more It's a bit further than we like going for brunch, especially when drinks are included (yay! - includes mimosas, bloody mary, and champagne- more on that later), so I was hoping not to fall in love with it too much. But I did. So now I'll have to go back. We did a reservation for the first seating, 11am. I had seen reviews mentioning a parking garage, but didn't see one that looked obviously public so we valeted ($7, not bad, but I think there was a sign that said you couldn't venmo or something so take cash just in case). There were a lot of people crowding in the entryway waiting for seating time to begin, but once the clock struck we were all sat pretty quickly; and we were able to walk around beforehand and see the offerings, which was nice. I went for the snow crabs as always. The melted butter was in a crock pot instead of a pour spout, which I really appreciated because it still had all the... butter fat? I'm not sure what it's called, but I hate when it's separated out. I also went a little crazy on the "daily" specials menu (also included, don't worry); our server suggested two at a time to start. I think i started with 5. The only one that let me down was the Korean sticky rib, which was very dry and overcooked. Speaking of our server, he was fantastic. He figured out the game pretty quickly and refilled our mimosas at about the halfway point. Mostly champagne with a splash of orange juice. The entire restaurant was buzzing with people, but you were never bumping into anyone and you could carry conversation at a normal volume. On the food side, I think there was too much to note all of it, so I hope all the pictures help! Everything we ate (aside from the rib) we enjoyed. This just took over the Hard Rock brunch at Kuro for my first choice (which is great, because this one was only $80 or $85, compared to their $145 last I checked). Make a reservation, and enjoy.

Its on the water so we watched boats - even ones that look like cars - sail down the waterway. We didn't have a lot of time because our server James was quick to take our orders, present our food, fold napkins when we left the table, and keep our Sunday brunch champagne glasses filled. I enjoyed brunch with 4 friends. The Sunday brunch offers a lot of meat for a seafood restaurant, so everyone had satisfying choices. There's a breakfast food area, salad/soup bar, carving station, raw bar, dessert bar, etc. I enjoyed the fresh salmon sushi. But I came for the oysters and crab. The ice cold snow crab was juicy and big. It was so popular that twice I saw employees refilling the ice bed! But the oysters. They were surprisingly wonderful because I prefer the sweet small oysters from the West. But these Gwynn Island Virginia oysters were small like West coast oysters and sweet, briny and plump. The brunch is split into a buffet and table service. We started out ordering from the menu, like an ice breaker to brunch! I ordered the stuffed bay scallops served in a scallop shell and it was very good. I also ordered the oysters Rockefeller and liked the shrimp that garnished it. My friends ordered everything from Korean super sticky ribs, several orders of crab cakes, to salmon sliders. If you order the salmon slider, know it has tomato jam and sweet onion on it. It was sweeter than I expected. But the salmon from the carving station was just delicious. Jay, the manager, was so engaging. He was near the raw bar and took interest in why I asked if there were West coast oysters. Later, he was curious as to why my friend determined to take so many crab legs. She put several on my plate! I assume that was her plan all along. Boy did I eat a lotta crab! James delivered two bowls of fresh towels to our table, so I wasn't the only one digging into the seafood. I notice that Jay is very aware of what is happening during brunch, that's great because everything stays on track. There are many options but how much can ya eat, especially when I dug into the seafood? So I had a couple more flutes of brut champagne and then got a dessert plate from the buffet. Yes, a plate! Ok, my husband and I each got a plate and tasted a lot. Let's just leave it at that! The miniature cups of passionfruit custard pie and key lime pie earned their spots. The truffles and chocolate lava cake had the same thick chocolate filling so they tasted good but remained on the plate, as did the creme brulé because it had a bit of watery custard under the sugar crust. The rest of the custard had set. The raspberry lemon cheesecake was delicious and went missing from the plate! So its hit and miss but there are so many desserts - so many I didn't taste - that you're bound to find many that you love! Unsung heroes like the buser whose name I didn't get, who smoothly explained how the brunch works while filling 2 of our 5 water glasses, should be a server. He was gone in a moment. His uniform didn't have a name tag because the restaurant doesn't use them. I wish they did so I could recognize him here. And sometimes guests are so focused on all the delicious choices that they forget their service team member's names, so its easier to read a name tag than have to have to remember. It was a great experience, at a price. So head for the raw bar, just leave me some oysters!

Between the live music, karaoke, great service and very reasonable prices, it truly stood out. Our first visit was for dinner with our daughter. Our server was friendly and attentive, and although the restaurant was busy both inside and out, the wait time was surprisingly short. That evening featured karaoke, and the DJ played popular songs that had many guests dancing. When our daughter wanted to join in, I got up and danced with her; it was such a fun and memorable experience. We enjoyed every meal we tried and later returned with my sister and their partner during Sunday happy hour. Notably, it was the only restaurant in the area offering a Sunday happy hour. The menu was varied and offered great value. We were especially impressed by the generous portion of calamari, it was perfectly cooked, crispy, and tender. The ahi tuna appetizer was also excellent. We tried chicken quesadilla and brought some back which tasted better heated up the next day. The Cuban and fries was pretty good too. On one of the visits, our server Chris was attentive, considerate, and had a great sense of humor. Chris took time to answer our questions and offered thoughtful drink recommendations.

Another 5 or so minutes later the waiter came and apologized for not being aware that his table had a patron. No big deal, however there were several times throughout my meal that I made eye contact, eventually succumbing to wave down other servers for water, lemons, pepper... Not a single one of them, even when standing at the table next to me, responded. They ignored my waving or calling out to them when it was obvious they saw me. I was seated in the outdoor patio and noticed my server only had 1 table outside (me). The other servers had random spaced out tables. It did not seem to flow well. I ordered two of the jumbo shrimp (by the piece) as an appetizer. They were yummy and as expected. I also had a side Caesar salad that was huge $8. The Caesar flavor was ok. The main entree $40, five diver scallops in a lemon piccata sauce. Served with lumpy mashed potatoes that tasted off. The scallops were rubbery and the sauce was lacking in flavor. Somehow the spinach had the most flavor of all the items. While I enjoyed sitting on the covered outdoor patio in a prime location I probably would not return. Nearly $80 for a single person meal with mediocre food and lacking service. Just not enough quality to bring me back.
