Downtown By 5999

Downtown has been on my list for a while and it’s definitely one of our new favourites! The drinks were very nice and refreshing. I went with a recommendation of our server and got the steak&eggs benedict from their new menu. My boyfriend had the egg-gasm and we took the Japanese soufflé pancake as an extra to share. One word: AMAZING! But truly, what added to our experience was the great service we got from Alex! Thank you Alex for the energy you brought to the table and your great recommendations. A service you don’t see a lot on the island. We’ll be back!

We came here Fri 3/5 at the recommendation of a server at another restaurant and left quite disappointed, having had probably our worst dinner on the island.Positives: The two appetizers we had were great – the wings were fresh and hot, the Mexican street dip was delicious. Service was generally friendly and the ambiance felt modern but relaxed.Negatives: After the appetizers, it was all pretty downhill. The ribeye skewers came dry and overcooked, as did the grilled galbi. Neither had any flavor or seasoning to them, certainly not thai ribeye or a marinated Korean BBQ galbi. We tried to eat most of the skewers hoping the galbi would be better, but only had a small part of the galbi before asking the server to take it away. We mentioned both meat dishes had been overcooked and dry so we weren’t going to eat the rest of it but he seemed to just interpret it as us saying we were full. Didn’t receive any apology, no offer to remove it from the bill, or even a complimentary dessert / drink to make up for it. I ordered a “Skip the Dessert” cocktail at the end hoping to end the meal on a good note, but it came tasting pretty watery rather than any real taste of the ingredients.Unfortunately we ended up walking away feeling like we wasted our money on a subpar dinner. If there had been any sort of gesture made to make up for the ribeye and galbi, we would have probably given them the benefit of the doubt and recommended them to others, but it put a real damper on the night.

Great location to enjoy the view outside or the ambient atmosphere inside. The moment you enter through the door or leave, you are greated by smiling friendly staff. You immediately feel at ease. We had the cajun shrimp risotto and downtown pad thai with dragon lemonade and iced matcha. Although the wait time was a bit longer than expected, the deliscious food made up for it. Just the right portion, fresh and warm. Hot sauce would have made a difference for us. Enough seating available if you are alone, with two or more persons.

This was one of the best places we ate at on our whole trip (Aruba and Curaçao). The atmosphere is awesome modern place. We went for breakfast and the drinks and food were exquisite. I highly recommend it.

This is a MUST try!! Absolutely fantastic!#1 the food - taste/presentation amazing!Service is wonderful.Prices are decent and affordable- good value and portion sizes!We will be back 100%

I like the atmosphere. Relaxed unpretentious but tastefully decorated, with a nice selection of pretty unique bites, and great service. Nice place for a meeting, for a romantic date or to chill and recover from a busy day at work. I really enjoyed the snacks and I am confident that with some tweaks, the bites will go from good to awesome! Looking forward to going back and experience the cocktails.
