Thumbs down Poor at Flying Fishbone an understatment

We just got back and the Flying Fishbone was our least favorite. It is a shame too because two years ago we had a great experience. This year not so much. The service was the worst we have ever run into on Aruba. We think we had the owners brother for a wait person and he spent more time chatting with bro than waiting on us. You know you are in trouble when the first thing they ask is if we would like to borrow their insect repelant. Anyway there were six of us and we had two good meals (ironically both steak) two mediocre and two pretty bad. I had boulabase and did not finish it because it was that bad. On top of that there is a detour on the way from the high rise area and it is very poorly marked not fun in the dark.
Now on to the good places... we took a poll of our favorites two Madam Janettes, two Texas D'Brazil and two at Terra del Sol. We had a pretty good meal at Gasparito but had a run in with one of the wait staff but other than that it was very good. Our tradition is to do Simply Fish at the Mariott (that is where our time share is) for our first meal, and this year the meal was excellant.
So that is it for this year I'd be happy to answer questions.
