restaurants and prices

I have been reading alot in the forums and so far it seems that one thing i keep hearing is the food is quite expensive in Aruba. Are there any restaurants that are reasonably priced for lunch or dinner that anyone can recomend? I would rather blow my money elsewhere than on over priced menus. We did buy a Dine around Aruba 3 night dinner pass...is it worth it..has anyone used it before? I really appreciate the info. We will be there in 8 more days!

Reasonably priced are:

Tulip (near Chalet Suisse)
Bingo! (Lunch and dinner - on the road to Noord)
The Garden (at the Mill resort)

It's La Granja. The one we went to is in Savaneta but I think there's one closer to town. It's a fast food type of place but with really good chicken - rice, plantain, etc. Great place to stop on the way back from Baby Beach. It's on the ocean side of the road. You can do take away or eat there.

Its true that food can be a bit on the expensve side, depends which restaurant of course. Most times its worth it though! One thing that I can say really helps is the Aruba Plus Card. We save a LOT on restaurants with it.
