Review of Papiamento Restaurant

No marked menu but since arriving in Aruba every server I’ve encountered basically has you pick out a few options and then they ask the chef. Leaving you very unconfident in safety. So, I didn’t bother with an appetizer or salad (more risk). I asked about the Neptune and he said that would work. Food was delicious. Skipped dessert too since nothing was marked nor my waiter didn’t mention anything. I ordered coffee with cream since I didn’t eat any courses with my family except one. And they have no creamer only milk. So, no coffee either. So far my favorite dinner on island but if they stepped up their menu (marked GF) and staff training it would be fabulous. I would have ordered shrimp cocktail, Caesar without croutons, the Neptune (mahi/shrimp/lobster) and chocolate crème brûlée. In the US these would all be GF but not sure here.
