Very popular, unpretentious spot downtown, two blocks behind Renaissance Aruba Hotel. Booths line the driftwood walls embedded with fish tanks. The owner has his own boat, and local fish dinners are guaranteed fresh. Lobster, surf and turf, shrimp and calamari done with Aruban flavors bring in crowds. Landlubbers choose from chicken, filet mignon and lamb chops. Wednesday-Monday for dinner. Reservations required. $$-$$$. Most major credit cards. Klipstraat 12, Oranjestad, Aruba.
