This April was my first visit to Aruba. We stayed at Casa del Mar where Matthew's is located. They have the best happy hours, great food, and excellent staff! Wednesday nights are a good time as well! I liked it so much I thought about moving there! Well, I didn't but I do see myself going back to visit great friends I met.

Enjoyed lunch at Matthew's several times. The service is the best on the island. The grouper sandwich plate is excellent. You can order it either breaded or grilled. Very good both ways. And the bar experience is not to be missed. It's much more than just ordering a drink. The wait staff and bartenders treat you like family.

What a wonderful evening we had at Matthews. We stayed at Bucuti so we were glad to find something this good so close. we loved the atmosphere....we sat at a 2 seater right at the back next to the beach. We started with the Caribbean Seafood Soup, wonderful soup!! Big chunks of seafood. I had the Lobster Pasta. The presentation was neat, as it was served on the 1/2 shell of the lobster. It was just as delicious. Husband had the all you can eat ribs. Those were very good as well. Everything was great and the service was good as well. We went at about 8pm at night and were seated right away with no reservations.
