The place

The Flying Fishbone

An upscale beachfront restaurant in Savaneta where tables are set directly on the sand at the water's edge, credited by its own history with popularizing feet-in-the-water dining in Aruba.

The Flying Fishbone sits on a small crescent bay in Savaneta, Aruba's original fishing village, with a section of tables placed right on the beach so diners can eat with their feet in the water. The kitchen focuses on seafood alongside international and steakhouse dishes, and the restaurant states on its own website that it was the first in Aruba to popularize this on-the-beach, feet-in-the-water style of dining.

It is an upscale, fine-dining spot: entrees start around $38, and a typical dinner for two with two drinks and two entrees runs about $125 including tax and tip. Reservations are recommended given the format and setting.
