About The Vue Rooftop Aruba
The Vue is accessed via elevator from the J.E. Irausquin Blvd 384-A complex (note: the elevator is small and slow per reviews — recommended to use stairs if mobility allows). Once on the rooftop, you’re rewarded with one of Palm Beach’s best sunset perspectives — open-air seating, ocean views, and a large bar program. The kitchen runs an Aruban-fusion menu: skirt steak with chimichurri, short ribs, shrimp scampi, with creative appetizers (pot stickers, roasted Caprese, burrata). Cocktails are a focal point — ask the bartenders for off-menu recommendations. Hours are daily 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Reservations are essential, especially for sunset (5:30–7:00 PM seating is the most-requested). Note that some sunset views are obstructed by neighboring buildings — request the prime ocean-facing tables at booking.
Signature dishes & menu highlights
The Skirt Steak with Chimichurri is a popular signature, served with creative sides. The Short Ribs are the comfort-food entrée. Shrimp Scampi and the Mashed Potatoes are strong supporting plays. Start with the Pot Stickers or the Roasted Caprese & Burrata. Cocktails are the differentiator — the bartenders are skilled and the rooftop bar is well-stocked. Time your reservation for 30–45 minutes before sunset to enjoy the changing light through cocktails and appetizers, with mains arriving as the lights come on. The breeze on the rooftop is a major part of the atmosphere — bring a light wrap if you run cold.

What guests are saying
Reviewers consistently call out the sunset views, the ocean breeze, and the cocktail program as the standout features. Service from servers Nathan, Joe, and Felipe earns specific praise — multiple birthday and anniversary reviews mention exceptional treatment. The skirt steak with chimichurri is the most-mentioned dish. Some reviewers note the menu lacks a clear theme (Aruban fusion) and that some appetizers are inconsistent — recommend sticking to the steak and seafood signatures. The elevator gets repeat negative mentions — small, slow, and occasionally smelly per reviews; stairs are an option for mobile guests. Pricing is in the moderate-to-upscale tier (entrées $35–$60 USD).
