The Kitchen Table by White in Aruba

The Kitchen Table is a GreatRestaurant!

As my wife and I arrived, we met a very nice couple from Boston that we had seen leaving our hotel at the same time as us, none of us having any way to know we were all going to end up dining together. The four of us were warmly greeted and introduced to a couple from Rhode Island and their impressive daughter.

As other guests arrived, we were introduced to each other. There was a cute younger couple from the Netherlands, a wonderful couple from Ohio, two guys traveling together who it turned out knew a coworker of the guy from Boston, and another nice couple that I really didn't get to visit with very much. The fifteen of us would be dining companions for the evening.

A very nice sparkling wine was served as we were introduced. As we began to get to know one another, we watched the sun set from a comfortable rooftop terrace. After having time to visit, we moved downstairs into the room where we would dine. It was a comfortable room, tastefully decorated, with chairs in a horseshoe configuration facing a large open work space.

We were introduced to the Chef and staff, and then we were told about the menu and philosophy behind the Kitchen Table and offered the option for a wine pairing with dinner. The dinner was seven courses of small plates that were all incredibly delicious.

The Chef and staff crafted each plate with a mouthwatering assortment of primarily local ingredients combined into each impressive and beautiful dish. Included among the seven courses were dishes centered around the following ingredients: tuna, octopus, shrimp, wahoo, beef, lamb and then dessert.

With each course the Chef gave a brief explanation of what he was serving. Each course was a melody of tastes that were amazing, and with each course a wonderful wine was presented to those who had selected the wine pairing.

 Each plate was arranged with an artistic flair so that the presentation was as attractive as the food was delicious. This dinner was among the best I have ever been blessed to enjoy.

 The Chef and staff deserve the highest compliments for an outstanding job, they are truly talented. 

The Kitchen Table by White is so much more than a restaurant, it is a GreatRestaurant!
