Thanks Andrea.

the street before Talk of the Town is where you'll need to take a left turn, or the 6th street past the Renaissance bridge.

We are finally opening the restaurant this Friday the 18th. It is looking very nice. The menu has changed but I will soon update our website. This will be the soft opening and the official opening will be in the first week of April.

We are looking forward to see you all there this Friday from 6 to 11.

We'll have to try it next time. I'll do reviews but we did our old favorites, Texas de, Azzurro, Chalet Suisse, Casa Tua, El Gaucho (loved it all) and the kids took over - said to me "do we have two nights you haven't decided on?" (they are 17 and 14) and when told yes they said they voted to go back to Chalet Suisse and Texas de. Normally I would have protested but the 14 year old is ours now and I really wanted him to love Aruba the way we do. Next time I'll stay longer (this was he and his friend's spring break) and we'll branch out more. Sorry to miss some of our favorite places but did Iggy Joe's twice for lunch so that was good.

Looking forward to eating there. Like the idea of a shuttle service. Has anyone eaten there since it opened?

Making dining plans,
Sue

hope someone reports in.

one of our members is renting my timeshare at lacabana (got there yesterday) and i know she and her family were planning on dining at cooks.
