Part of the extensively renovated Renaissance Aruba Hotel, this upscale dining room greets you with a cobalt-blue lit waterfall cascading behind glass. The blue continues in all the ceilings and in spotlights accenting the all-white furnishings. Dramatic, and the service equals the setting. Breadsticks come in a conical holder; the carrot-cake dessert has layers of cream-cheese icing. The filet mignon—to borrow a cliche—really does melt in your mouth. A three-course special "Show Menu" is available for diners headed to the Crystal Theater. Daily for dinner. Reservations required. $$$. Most major credit cards. Renaissance Mall, next to Crystal Casino, Oranjestad, Aruba. Phone 523-6195. http://www.lgsmiths.com.
