Best seafood place in Jan Thiel. I ate here frequently during my stay - fresh ingredients cooked well, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Quick service from ordering at the counter. Would highly recommend the shrimp with the spicy seasoning (I could have eaten my weight in this), the buttered Wahu and rare seared tuna. I’d have been happy eating here every single night of my trip! Note: you can ask to use the mosquito repellent at the bar, should you forget to put some on.

Amazing experience, went with my wife and my parents for their wedding anniversary. Was all 4 of ours favourite meal of the holiday. Possibly the best steak I've ever had, cooked perfectly, very tasty and tender. The fish was also very good. Unique dining experience where you get to select your cuts of fish/shrimp/crab, in a very pleasant table experience directly over the water.

Looking for fresh fish …look no further in Curaçao. You choose what you like and it is priced by the weight. Many varieties of fresh seafood. It was delicious and we had an excellent experience here.

Amazing! Beautiful sashimi and seared tuna, great view of the docks and boats, very attentive service. Clean and more modern than the other de V restaurant on the other side of town. Also, really loved that you can get pan seared fish instead of only deep fry.
