Geek Squard Posted July 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Will be celebrating 10 years of marital bliss next year and will be in Aruba on the actual day. Would like to take my wife for a wonderful meal to celebrate. Looking for recommendations for restaurants with great food, excellent ambiance, and beautiful scenery. Appreciate any recommendations (and pictures) that folks would be willing to share. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras51 Posted July 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I would definitely go to Passions or Barefoot. Personally, I prefer the food at Barefoot, but Passions is more romantic. Both are toes in the sand dining, but Barefoot also has a large palapa on the deck if you don't want to sit in the sand. You can Google both and see menus and pictures. Be sure to make reservations for a sunset dinner. You'll never forget the experience . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare genealogyfan Posted July 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I recommend The Flying Fishbone. They have tables/chairs on the beach, the food is amazing. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1158886-d1209546-Reviews-The_Flying_Fishbone-Savaneta_Aruba.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted July 19, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Another vote here for Barefoot! We go to Barefoot at least twice every year when we go to Aruba. Passions is also nice, but we much prefer Barefoot!! LOVE it! Whatever you decide....Happy Anniversary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recommend it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatteras51 Posted July 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Flying Fishbone is in Savaneta, and is a very expensive taxi ride from the port. I don't recommend it for that reason. I looked up new taxi fees. A round trip fare to Flying Fishbone is $60.00 plus $3.00 more if they pick you up inside the terminal. Not worth it, in my opinion.

Hatteras51 Posted July 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I have eaten at Barefoot many times and have never been bothered by noise at Reflextions. They turn their music down during dinner. We dined at Elements last February, during our annual Aruba vacation. It is also very nice. I like the menu better at Barefoot, but that's just a personal preference. The food and service were excellent at Elements . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplsmurf Posted July 30, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Is there much noise from the Reflections bar next to Barefoot? Has anyone tried Elements? We have also eaten at Barefoot many times and no issues from next door. When we were there in January we went to Elements for the first time and loved it! My parents even went again after we left. In our personal opinion I would rank them Barefoot, Elements, Passions, but all 3 are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
