    Lunch for two at Ahari by Arca was excellent from start to finish. The food was on point, fresh, well-executed, and perfectly timed. Service truly elevated the experience Jose, our server and bartender, took outstanding care of us with genuine hospitality, great recommendations, and attention to every detail. A seamless, high-quality lunch experience. Highly recommended.

    The waitstaff was excellent. With that being said the food took almost 2.5 hours to arrive. They did bring out guacamole and plantains about 1.5 hours into our wait which was nice. We ordered two appetizers. The salad was not as described and had no dressing, the traditional bean appetizer seemed to be just warm refried beans, the flank steak was delicious as were the drinks. The wait staff and bartender were very kind and they deserve 5 stars.

    Had their Christmas night menu. No appetizer included and no appetizers available. Dinner limited to a choice of tenderloin, pork, pork, turkey with a side of vegetables and mashed potatoes. The tenderloin was probably some other kind of meat because it was very tough. It also looked like it had cooked the day before and was dry without any sauce. The “vegetables“ were three slices of carrot and three slices of zucchini that looked like they had been boiled– also without any sauce. One person in our company had asked for their meat to be rare, but all of the dishes were well done. When this was brought to the attention of the waiter, they said they would check with the kitchen, but never came back or responded. When asked later about how dinner had been, we reminded them that they never addressed the issue of the overcook meat. It was an embarrassing and pathetic meal. Due to our concerns, they did take two of the meals off of the final tab, but it was a very unpleasant experience.

    By far one of the best places we have found in Roatan! We had breakfast here on our last visit and decided to try out the dinner options. We booked on the beach and I highly suggest dining beach side. You’re literally right on the water. The food was amazing! My husband had the skirt steak and I had the chicken roulade it was incredible! It was also really nice to find a place that makes good cocktails, not premixed sugary ones. These were very well crafted and there were some interesting ones on the menu. These old fashion was amazing. The ambiance is also so lovely and everything was super well kept. Staff was gracious, attentive, and super kind. So glad we came back the beginning of this trip because we will be back! Thanks Ahari!

    Wow! This was a five star culinary experience in the most stunning of settings ! It's outside on the beach with fantastic live music in a romantic atmosphere where you could enjoy the ambiance but still talk to your table - the food was INSANE. The presentation was gorgeous. And the service was the friendliest and most attentive that I've ever experienced in Roatán! (Or anywhere!) If I could dream of a checklist for a restaurant (outdoors, on the sand, on the beach, palm trees swaying overhead, see the stars, can dress up or down, amazing service, incredible food, delicious wine, live music, 3 feet from turquoise waters) I could never find it! But ARCA checks all of those boxes and more. We had the best night and we can't wait to go back again. It's hands down the best restaurant I've ever been to on this island 💜
