Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The food was ok. What really irked me was that even though we informed of the prices beforehand, our bill came twice as high as they told us. Needless to say, i will avoid returning here ever again

Barely giving it 3 stars. Food 'acceptable', some items like fresh fish were good .... but service was not welcoming and pricing on the high side for what you got.

First time we've been here after meaning to go for several visits now. This is a very relaxed simple, open-air restaurant with a great mellow vibe and a perfect place for divers to share tall fish tales. Prices are very reasonable and the food is...just up from bar-food quality (that's not an insult). I had the "best ribs on the island" and they were good. I've not had ribs anywhere else, so I'm not sure if I can verify their claim :-). I would definitely go back for another relaxed dinner with friends.More

Food is not consistent. First time we ate there it was excellent, next time not good. Service is extremely slow. Servers seemed more interested in paling around with friends. It is a locals and divers hangout but we had heard food was excellent. Do hope...that next year the construction will be done and the cooking will be back to normal.More

Service is slow and not welcoming. Food is not the best on the island as some have claimed, in fact it was one of the two worst meals we had on this trip to Bonaire. When our food came, it wasn't ours, and when we...told the young man it wasn't ours, he asked if we were sure, then stood there like he didn't know what to do. Finally he took it back to the kitchen. Our food, when it did arrive was tasteless. I couldn't finish mine. When the bill arrived, it was for double of what it should've been. Well over $100. Our guess is that they throw that down and see if you even look before paying! Go for drinks, avoid the food.More

We stayed on Bonaire for a week, and visited this restaurant several times because of friendly staff, and amazing food! Happy hour offered delicious drinks at a reasonable rate. Menu is diverse, food was seasoned and amazing. We tried favorites such as the ribs, fish...taco’s, jerk chicken, garlic shrimp and pizza. Thank you Naftallie,Armstrong, Maddie, and Jeddy. You made our visits enjoyable.More

A relaxed place on the water. Friday night they had a calypso band. Had the Caesar salad with chicken it was a good size portion fresh crispy romaine lettuce and chicken that wasn't overcooked. The ribs looked great I will try them next time and...I will recommend and return.More

Very local and very friendly. We had red snapper, chicken breast, pasta, and pizza, and everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was so kind and the atmosphere was relaxed. Nice breeze and good view.

All my trips to Bonaire start with drinks and dinner at Diverls Diner my first night on the island. I have never been disappointed in the food or the drinks. Louise is the best in my book!

We ate here twice on our recent visit to Bonaire. The food is always very good and we had a very personable young man as our server. Beer, wine and fun cocktails. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend lionfish ceviche, walking sticks appetizers. Fish tacos are great...and we also came on paella night. Great flavors and good portions. It's fun to sit in the open air and watch the action on the street and water. We heard they are looking for a new location due to new construction across the street. Hopefully it will work out and we can dine here again on our next trip. It's been one of our favorites when we come to the island.More

We ate at 12 restaurants during our 2 week stay on Bonaire - this one had the best food. The place appears to be a real looser but the food is great, beer is cold and service very good. Menus are old, missing pages and...falling apart. Some of the tables have plywood tops. They also have specials on different nights of the week. Love the food, but the place does need some work on the appearance.More

We loved the location of this little cafe along the waterside plaza but compared to other places the food was uninspiring and the waitress looked like she was bored and wished we weren’t there. My fish was way over cooked and the burgers were so...so. Try other more authentic places for the best food. This caters to tourists.More

We ordered 2 tequilas at the end and the check said, 8$ per tequila. I was asking why the tequila shot was 8$ a piece and if this has been a mistake, because the tequila is also in some of the cocktails and they are...between 7-9$. They told me that they put the cheap tequila in the cocktails that’s why the tequila we got is 8$ a piece 😂 Service was also very Slow and the food is not worth mentioning.More

The food was ok, the service fine and motivated. It was sunday and their Pizza-Day. Unfortunately, there was no pizza abailable by 8pm. Anyway, I ordered Fish&Chips which was ok. After the food we ordered a Tequila shot. After asking we also got salt and...lemon. But on the check they accounted 8USD per Tequila. We asked if this is a mistake and a cocktail with tequila in the same restaurant costs $9 dollars but we got the answer they just use the cheap one for t the cocktails and 8 dollars is the regular price for a Tequila…More

It's pretty new, from all I've heard and read. It's good to see some new restaurants take a shot on Bonaire. The quality of dining has improved a lot over the past few years.
