i think you all will have full bellies and smiles on all of the faces in your party.

tony roma was our traditional arrival night place for dinner.
we changed to Tulip after Roma's prices rose and we felt the quality of the food declined.

please make sure that you post a Tony Roma review because my husband LOVES that place for ribs and i do like their chicken fingers.

Really? We were there last year for 2 weeks in November and went twice to Tony Romas. I didn't notice anything with the price but then again I never compare or remember from previous years and the the ribs were great as always. I will be sure to post when I get back and let you know if I see a difference in the food.

I think you have a wonderfull list. Old Man and the Sea will surprise you.

If you have the time and is able to add one more restaurant to you list I would highly recommend Cooks Restaurant. It is an upscale restaurant with great food and very reasonable prices. The restaurant is also beautiful overlooking the streets.

Arubamark, the owner of Wacky Wahoo was previously the chef at Bucaneer. He and his wife started doing a Sunday BBQ by Moomba's. When the Marriott expanded, he lost his spot, so they decided to try their luck at their own resturant.

I believe they have done fine. We really enjoy eating there.
