This place was ok. walking distance from bucuti. we got there about 9 pm, the place was kind of dead. had the shrimp/chx combo. the proteins were good, but the side of rice and beans must have been made early that morning and left in the heater all day. Not the friendliest of service.

Tulip is not flashy or fancy....but it is a cute little restaurant with a lovely courtyard and really good food at decent prices. Service was impeccable (thank you Pauleti!) The catch of the day was Wahoo (my favorite) and it was cooked exactly how I asked (grilled with a side of lemon caper sauce). Just a very nice relaxing atmosphere... More

My friends, husband, and I had breakfast here our first day due to its convenience. The food was ok but the choice was limited. There were cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, ham and cheese. It was fine if you didn't feel like making your own breakfast, but definitely nothing special.

Tulip is a somewhat quaint outdoor restaurant, in fact the ambience is rather charming. It was relatively near our hotel and we chose it because of its convenience as well as its favorable reviews on Trip Advisor. The specialty of the house was advertised as spare ribs so spare ribs is what we ordered. These were not your ordinary spare... More

I'm not a gambler when it comes to dining. I usually stick with things I've tried before. The "Catch of the Day" listed on the menu board was always ignored by me until this day. The waitress described the meal and took a chance.... I did not regret my choice! The fresh Grouper was cooked to perfection. The portion was... More

Great service! Food was unbelievable. You must try the Mixed Grill platter. Theo, our server, he is awesome. The whole staff makes a great team. We will go back.

I choose Tulip for my birthday dinner out and was not disappointed. It was one of the best experiences and meals we've had here. Both our meals were excellent. I had the Keshi Yena (delicious Aruban specialty) and my mom had the Nasi Goreng special. Not only was the food wonderful, but the prices are extremely reasonable, which is a... More

The customer service was superb. The meal was very reasonable and delicious. Nothing negative to say about it. They know how to run a restaurant.
