Flying Fishbone or Passions??

If you had your choice of only one of these restaurants, which one would you choose to celebrate our daughters 21st birthday??? Or do you have any better suggestion. There will be 3 of us. Thanks

If you have a car, Flying Fishbone, if not, Passions. LOL, for my 21st, eons ago, I don't remember the restaurant, but I do remember the Piper-Heidsieck champagne!

I agree with Lisa - on the restaurants and the Piper (yum - it's my fave!)

Both are great restuarants so you can't go wrong with either.

Flying Fishbone vs. Passons

If you had to pick one which one would it be?

I'm going for my honeymoon and already have Madan Janette on the list...looking to add one more romantic dinner!

Will you have a rental car? If not Flying Fishbone will be an expensive taxi ride.

We have found Passions to be affordable,with very good food, romantic beach ambiance, and excellent service.

Tables- Flying Fishbone tables are on top of each other...Passions not.
Food-Flying fishbone ( imop) is better food than Passions
Location -Flying Fishbone long ride, Passions not so
Photo ops- both about the same
Have fun no matter where ya go...
Did you think of Old Man and the Sea and "rent" out their private island?

No rental car...realize the trip via taxi would be expensive. Just curious what others thought

The Old Man and the Sea is still lingering on the list, but it seems like people say more positive things about FFB or Passions vs. OMATS

It's still a possibilty - just looking for options

If your looking at other options check Windows on Aruba, it is enclosed so great for windy nights, the food & servive are very good and they are located across the street from the Tam, low rise area.

My wife and I have been to all 3 and OMATS is hands down the winner. Better everything, food, ambiance, service, quality etc etc.

Here's a link to some pictures we took
