Had a great night love it. The food was awesome. Service was awesome. One of my favorite places to eat.
It's been 28 years since my last visit to Driftwood and they have not lost their touch for preparing great seafood. With their personable friendly service to match. You may want to reserve as its still the place to go in Aruba for Caribbean seafood and gets busy I hear year round. Portions match the prices come hungry:()
Wonderful food all around. Nice to get away from the restaurants located next to the hotels. Best food we have had. The staff was great and seemed to enjoy what they do. Highly recommend to everyone that comes to the island!
Fresh food, friendly staff, good portion sizes. Atmosphere is very romantic. It's like being in a ship cabin! Coconut shrimps are so delicious!!
Awesome place both with services and with food quality. So nice to leave a restaurant feeling full and satisfied.
The catch if the day was absolutely amazing! We ordered a 2nd time, the service was good, quick, & friendly.
Our favorite restaurant everything about it is excellent. The best food on the island and the wait staff and management treat you like family. We go at least twice sometimes three times each year They catch their fish fresh daily..
If you like blackened fish they do it to perfection.
While the decorations haven’t been renovated in quite some time, the quality of their food is only perfect. The staff is extremely helpful and very friendly. Great place for groups or a romantic date!
We visit The Driftwood every year in Aruba best restaurant ever, Great Food Great Service Great Drinks.
Trust me
Service was amazing, food was the best I have had on the island in 5 days. Food was served in a timely fashion, and coffees were a perfect finale to the meal
We were recommended to this restaurant and were not disappointed. The Mahi Mahi was seasoned and cooked perfectly, leaving it nice and moist and very flavorful. Didn't need to use the sauce they provided on the side. The chowder was full of seafood. It was not overly creamy, but that is how I like it. If you are an escargot lover, they make a nice plate, with a small bit of mashed potato which helps soak up the garlic butter if you don't want bread. My husband is ready to go back again tonight to try the red snapper.
It's a great restaurant to have dinner. Service is excellentfood is delicious. We go there often.
Lovely restaurant food was good overall very happy BUT !!!!!! Had no parking so my family and me drove parked around the corner in a good spot so we thought after dinner came outside our rental car (WINDIWS WAS BROKE )WHAT THE FCUK!!! U got it !!!!!!!!! nothing was really stolen but I guess they must off been waiting for someone to leave there car and maybe they would find something all the got was a fidget spinner LOL ASS HOLES !! Tomorrow will go to rental spot and see what they say we didn't get the insurance but I'm glad we are ok could have been a lot worse robbed or even hurt but thx God !!! We did call the cops they came within 15 mins wrote report the two female cops was very helpful Thank you again.. Well It's just glass when on vacation get insurance 👍🏾 and park in front and get a ticket instead also stay on busy roads I know better I got comfortable wont happen again though 👊🏾
Overall very nice restaurant. Very good fish. Good place for cocktails and a nice dinner.
Very friendly and attention staff. I had seafood chowder and steak. Very good. Thought it was as a bit pricey, but good.
Overall it is a decent restaurant! I had the fish soup, which was delicious! My daughter had seafood chowder, which could be a bit more thick and creamy but it didn't taste bad. I had crab cake, my daughter had scallops, both were nicely done and flavorful. Their pickled onions are sweet and spicy, which gave a nice kick on everything we ate.
Two things to be aware of: the food portion is Americanized, so it is big; you have to pay for the bread.
If we ever visit Aruba again, we will consider going back here.
If you are into fishing, you can charter their fishing boat ($400 half day/$800 full day, coming with the captain, crew, and fishing equipment). I heard the restaurant will cook your catch for you as well.
My wife and I had heard a lot of advertisements and recommendations for Driftwood while in Aruba. Our experience was very disappointing. Our waiter did not seem excited to describe food, and did not give great explanations of the tastes expected. The atmosphere was very "chain-like," and the drinks were very average. The fresh fish was excellent, but that is the only positive in our time at Driftwood. We will not return.
Great decor. Very popular. A bit over priced. But great service and good food!
Very good catch of the day options (mahi and wahoo today), cooked one of four ways. Fish was cooked properly, good seasonings, and the sides were a great accompaniment (veg and rice). Garlic bread was a nice touch, and service was wonderful. 4 stars because of the price.
Great seafood and we love the seafood soup. Is it fishy? Well, it is a seafood soup and I hope it doesn't taste like chicken. But at the same time, we did not feel it was overly fishy at all. If you ask for the special menu you get a 3 course dinner for $29.99. The flan is good here too.
