Fish & Joy Bistro & Wine Bar Curaçao — Restaurant in Curaçao

Full disclosure- we love Fishalicious. It's near our place and we try to go once every couple or few weeks.

For one thing, it's got a great wine list. For another, the seafood really is fantastic. And for a third, the service borders on ideal. The servers are knowledgeable, they are polite and friendly, they don't rush you, they don't hover, they appear when you need them. We often compare the servers in other restaurants.. nice place, but it's no Fishalicious.. that sort of thing.

The only time we've had an experience that was less than perfect was when we ordered a Canadian lobster special that they were running. We felt the side of frites was a bit skimpy and while there were three butters and sauces for dipping, it was enough for one really, not two. And it came so quickly that we were in and out in an hour.

But that was just one time. the rest of the times we've gone, we've ordered off the menu and have always been really pleased. And the service isn't usually rushed, it's usually paced perfectly, which made the lobster night seem all the more strange.

So go. You'll love it. And do yourself a favor- order the Fishalicious coffee to end your night. That alone is...

I didn't like this place. I felt discriminated against. I asked for 2 glasses of wine and the woman brought a bottle. When we corrected her she seemed to have an attitude and from then the service went down hill. She barely checked on us and another person served our dinner to us. We also weren't told one of the meals was a meal that was served chilled. It was too much work to peel the seafood from the shells and it was just very messy. My swordfish was very rare that I couldn't finish it. And only had a side of vegetables with it which wasn't a good portion for the price we paid. Avoid this place, go to...

We went here twice during our trip. The first time, our server Francinette was very lovely and attentive and gave us some great off-menu wines to try. Tonight we went back for our last meal on the island and our server Germaine was great as well. This place really cares about the guest experience and the service really reflects that.

The food was absolutely to die for. I’m truly sad we don’t have more room in our bellies to try more dishes! The Shrimp and scallops we ordered twice. The vitello tonnato was also a surprisingly delicious dish! The desserts were great as well. Thank you so much for such...
