restaurant recommendations

Does anyone have some inexpensive recommendations for dinners? we are staying at the Radisson, and would like some restaurants that arent too far, and wont cost a fortune.

Our breakfasts are included, so its just dinners that I am trying to figure out.

Thanks!

In the Palm Beach area is that nice buffet at the Radisson, the delicious Japanes place at the Westin, Salt n Pepper across the street, Lindas on Palm Beach Rd, Buccaneer not too far off of Palm Beach Rd.

If you are willing to cab, drive or bus to Eagle Beach (lo rise area 1.5 miles from the RADISSON there is Matthews at the Casa Del Mar Resort where you and your significant other can dine for probably $25pp, Tulip at MVC Eagle Beach for a little less than Matthews.

Everything I mentioned comes in at about $50 or $60 per couple minus liquor.

Then there are some really cool places if you want to drive 10 - 15 minutes.

I encourage you to read on thru the culinary posts.
Many many postings there.

FWIW, the Hard Rock even gets good reviews.

Aruba, so many restaurants, not enough time.

The Hard Rock Cafe is at South Beach Centre mall which is across from the Radisson. Down the block from the mall is Cafe Rembrandt which is not expensive. One of the owners is the owner of Matthew's Beachside which Andrea recommended. Chain restaurants in walking distance is Tony Roma's opposite the Holiday Inn and TFI Fridays at Paseo Herencia Mall.

If your downtown one day, theres Que Pasa, Rumba's and Cafe the Plaza that's not expensive.

Smokey Joes fantastic ribs and fish, Salt and pepper great tapas (go between 5 and 7pm you get free sangria when you buy 3 tapas a person), Tango next to Salt and Pep had a good early bird 25usd for 3 courses and its good. You got to check out Bingo that has to be one of my Favs. havent had a bad thing there yet, and prices are very good. Lindas next to Bingo has great Dutch pancakes. Hardrock Cafe Mondays has buy 1 burger get 1 burger free.
