Places/Restaurants to get engaged...Suggestions?

I had originally planned on doing it at Simply Fish, Marriott Palm Beach. I have not been able to find in reviews on the food/atmosphere. Photos look nice, but photos are just photos. So if anyone has any suggestions or know about Simply Fish I would greatly appreciate it.

We leave Friday morning.

Thanks!

how about the new place OLD MAN AND THE SEA?
many rave reviews
been to SIMPLY FISH once and liked it but found it overpriced

i bet OMATS would be a better spot for a proposal

What are you realy looking for in an engagement?
Simply Fish is nice, I've documented at least 2 engagements there.

If you know for sure, she'll say yes and you like the hype. Coordinate with your flight attendant on the way to Aruba and do it midflight over the intercom. (Poem etc...) You'll be very popular for the rest of the week.

Congratulations in advance....

Bryan Morris

I have been to Simply fish, and again its nice enough to propose, the best thing is to surprise her, so I would do something different than the restaurant scene. I would suggest the same as Bryan Morris, do it on the plane, or somewhere different than restaurants, sometimes woman pick up on fast in a restaurant. Congratulations.

I got engaged at the Hyatt's Ruinas Del Mar. Absolutely beautiful. We had a table right next to the water with the black swan’s. It was perfect. Good luck!!
