What are some good restaurants to eat at?
check out this thread.

i think that the restaurant that you "remember" was marandi.
marandi has relocated to down beyond the airport.
here are the directions....and the signs are readily visible.
Marandi is situated at the former "Laguna Pier" right next to Reina Beatrix Airport.

Please, follow the signs of Marandi and General Aviation.

After passing the airport on the main road, you will see the signs from the first road at your right!

No offense but I think you are the only person I ever heard say that they loved that restaurant!

Everyone has said that it has a beautiful view and to only go there for drinks or dessert.

There are lots of suggestions made by many, just scroll around in this the Culinary and Culture section and see what suits you best.

"Best" is a matter of personal preference. There are alot of great restaurants in Aruba from casual to high end. It would be easier if you were able to tell us what type of food and atmosphere you're looking for?
