This elegant restaurant is situated on a hill above Willemstad. It is built into an 18th-century fort with a 360-degree view. OK...so the refinery is prominent on one side of the restaurant. Big deal. Take a look around and try to overlook the refinery and you've got an amazing view from the top of the hill. The server gave great... More

If you want to look at Curaco's oil refineries do go. Diner for 2 (even on island time) 7:20 to 9:40', come on man. Never asked if we wanted another drink, come on man. Tenderloin and snapper (evenings specials) tough and tasteless except the sauce used to spike it up. The fish was like corrugated and it with it's coconut... More

Nice and friendly but the restaurant is living upon its view and its history, the food is OK but the menu could be a little bigger. The coffee is not good.

Our reservation was 'lost', but the restaurant accommodated my date and me. However, the table location was the worst in the restaurant despite the fact that many other tables remained empty during our time there. Once seated, the service was excellent and the food was better. Varied selection and high quality - and an amazing sunset.

The food is good, but the view is much better. Located on the top of a hill you have a fabulous night at night of the Curaçao harbor. You can also have a lovely lunch but you will be missing the great view!

We did get to go to the top and take pictures, however, the restaurant and tours were closed. It was an amazing view!

Amazing view! You gotta go to see Pos di Pia also. Less than a minute below the fort. From the fort you can see Julianabrug and more. It's beautiful. The fort itself didn't have anything special. You should visit Den Dunki also. So much history.

The view was stunning and the food not to be missed. The fort itself is very inviting and just to the right you can get some great pictures.
