Best WLM Reviews

It’s more than a cafe: a very busy restaurant with three bar islands and, at least two hostess up front.
On this Monday at 2pm, although we’re seated inside immediately but it’s packed. A live band playing Grateful Dead, before it takes a break or rest.
Outdoor section with deck and on the sand, needs a few minutes to be seated.
Two hostesses, the short girl (Asian?) shows us plenty white eyeballs, and the taller one is very gracious with a smile.
The decor isn’t too bad for a beach dive.
We’ve: crab cake and PEI Mussels: both are delicious. A few strains of veggies are tasteless (I don’t mind) but fresh. The garlic sauce for the mussels is heaven - heavy in oil. The only regret is the bread, it’s like hot dog bun, heavy and dead, otherwise I’d finished the mussel sauce. Yup, no one wants to take me out -:(
A small parking lot on site. We parked at the adjacent parking lot, $10 for up to three hours.
This was my second time coming here. The first time, I actually just sat here as I was with my husband and a few others on bikes. This time around, it was my husband and I alone here to enjoy the Aruba experience. I ordered the grouper sandwich, and I was not impressed as it was chewy. My husband ordered the seafood pasta, and that was pretty good. , while we shared a crab cake. The crab cake was good. It sat on some steamed vegetables, and quite frankly, I would have been satisfied with a full bowl or plate of just the vegetables alone. The live band was absolutely wonderful! I will be back to try more of the wonderful menu options.
Outside tables on the sand after sunset. It was relaxing and delicious. The prices are pretty fair also. We had plenty of options for ice cream nearby too. It's a very popular location for a nice memorable evening.
If you're craving seaside vibes and killer drinks, this fish joint hits the spot. The piña coladas are stellar – smooth, creamy, and perfectly tropical. While the fish is decent, the tortillas arrived cold, which was a letdown. And pairing it with store-bought chips felt like a heavy-handed choice. Overall, come for the drinks, stay for the view, but maybe not solely for the food experience.
Exceptional seating right off the sandy shores with a view of paradise. Came here with my wife & had a wonderful time. All of our worries went away as we enjoyed great food and good vibes. I had the Angus Cheeseburger with Fries and she had a Seafood Alfredo Platter with shrimp & scallops. All in all, 5⭐'s, if not for the food, for the amazing view. The outdoor seating is exceptional and highly recommended. Our server was nice and friendly. Very accommodating. Will most definitely be back again. Paid about $70 for both of us. Great food, good pricing and even better location! ????????
If you haven't been, you must visit this little hidden gem ????????
This establishment has great ocean views! Seats right on sandy beach of Lauderdale by the sea.
We were sat on a table that had a nice ocean view and accommodated a party of 10.
The service initially was slow due to it being spring break and the restaurant was extremely busy. We initially needed an extra seat for the 10th person but our waiter took awhile before getting back to us so we found our own chair. Aside from that, service was on point. It did take a bit of time to order things like drinks but completely understandable as he was also doing some bartending.
The food was definitely on point. I had a grilled New York Strip Steak with mash potatoes and veggies. My steak was medium rare and delicious! The mash potatoes seemed freshly made and real creamy. I highly recommend this dish!
I recommend you try their famous Bimini bread - it’s amazing! My family also loved the bistro Bleu Cheeseburgers and fried calamari to name a few.
For dessert I got a chocolate cake which was almost nice and moist.
As far as atmosphere goes, it was very crowded due to spring break but it did have a nice balance of older and young folks. Maybe a bit more older people that particular day. The surrounding area is very family oriented. You can order a drink a go outside to drink a nice cold refreshing beer while you dig your toes in the sand and take in the nice view of the waves.
Overall, we had a great time and I’ll be sure to come back again!
Great food and beautiful beach views. Perfect combo for a great dining experience. I definitely recommend drying the Bimini bread and the mussels with butter
This place is beautiful, It is right in front of the beach, The area consists of several restaurants and bars as well as walkways to sit around and hang out.
The food was great and honestly considering the location was reasonably priced, You can ask for seats behind the restaurant which are located literally by the sand on the beach.
