My wife and I are going to Aruba next month. we have been there several times and have a few restaurants we will re visit. These include; El Gaucho, The Driftwood and Boonoonoonoos. We have also been to several other places that we wont revisit I liked Chez Matilda but my wife usually doesn't care for French and want's to be more laid back then Chez Matilda which is rather fancy and formal although you can get away without a jacket, Twinklebones is so so roast beef but a nice show, it was ok the first time but not worth a repeat and The Olde Mollen (Dutch Mill) wasn't worth traveling to Aruba for. I would appreciate any suggestions any of you might wish to make.

The Old Cunucu House is very good.  I can't remember the name of the restaurant, but there's a great one in the Radisson.  I originally avoided it because it looked too fancy and formal, but when we went in, most people were dressed pretty casually.  And all I can say is avoid those overpriced, bad buffets!!
