I cannot tell you how much we were looking to our meal at Old Man and the Sea. Bully and his brother in law, Hubert picked us up at 5:15 and off we went.
We arrived and spent a lot of time taking family pictures at the beautiful setting. Picture perfect location, got some great shots.

We had an excellent waiter, Ricky, and he did not disappoint us. Service was outstanding. Water glasses filled constantly, rolls and butter filled in repeatedly, dishes removed imed....

The meal from start to finish was worth every penny. Every single one of us had a wonderful meal.

Rob and I had the pear salad as suggested by Randi. Really nice ! Kids had regular salad and caesar. Rob and I had the Captains Concert which was a platter for 2. It consisted of lamb chops, tenderloin, scallops, snapper, chickenand shrimp. It was perfect. Kids had chicken stir fry and pasta with pesto. Dessert consisted of Kaulua cheesecake and crepes suzzette.

I would highly recommend going to this restaurant, it was outstanding.
Service A+, food A+, location A+, Scenery A+ well worth the pricey cab ride !!! i will post pics when we get home.

good to hear cindy!
thanks

i am going to change the title to OLD MAN AND THE SEA so that folks that do not know the "initials" will certainly know the name

Great to hear! We are looking forward to it from all of these good reports!

Captains Concert sounds like something dh and dd would share.

Randi · 04-22-2009, 10:25 AM

Glad you liked it. Captains Concert sounds great, especially since DH doesn't like shrimp (more for me

).

We also had Ricky for a waiter, he was fantastic. Just loved everything.

So Glad you had a fabulous time at Old Man and the Sea! It sure is a treat to click on the forum and feel so close to the island we love. Get ready to meet Aruba Mark. He is a great guy!
Bon dia,
