Aqua Grill

I checked the menu online. I pretty much knew what I wanted to order. I the menu in the restaurant was not marked so I explained my request to the server. Who seemed to understand. On fact, he told me the Sea Bass was fried in a batter but it’s gluten free. It seemed he’d had this come up before, so he let me know right away. Before I left the restaurant, I had symptoms of contamination. It ended my evening.

The food was terrible. Nothing was marked. The server had very little communication about the ingredients. Prices are ridiculous even for the island. My rice was hardly cooked. Avoid.

I’m so glad we got to come to aqua grill! There were a lot of gluten free options on the menu. The gluten free salmon was delicious. The low part of my experience was that the waitress asked me after I told her I had a gluten intolerance if I wanted Gluten noodles with it.

We had such a great experience dining at Aqua Grill! It was an upscale restaurant with a cozy atmosphere close to the strip with fun shops and other restaurants. Our family of six requires gluten free options with five of us having Celiac disease. Items were labeled gluten free on the menu and the chef happily came out to talk with us and was able to offer additional options as well. The kids were able to have French fries that were safe gluten free and cooked in a dedicated fryer. Their menu had a lot of seafood options as well as steak and chicken and kid friendly options including burger and hot dog. We had a great experience here and our server Claudia was so nice and friendly. So happy to have found a classy and Celiac friendly restaurant in Aruba! Felt safe eating here and none of us got sick or had any negative reaction.

Food was marked gluten free on the menu. I am also diary free and didn’t have any issues. Dish was a little plain but I felt confident that it didn’t have any allergens.

Great celiac friendly dinner spot. Menu is clearly marked and they understand cross contamination and are willing to make other dishes GF upon request. Prix Fixe menu also has GF items. Wasn't very busy but service was excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We loved this restaurant! I am gluten, soy and dairy free. Our waitress Nora was patient with my food issues and fabulous. The fried seafood is cooked with cornmeal. My husband had the fried shrimp and it was fabulous! I had a seafood chowder/stew in coconut milk with seasonings and crab legs for dinner. We enjoyed it enough that we just might go back there again.
