An All-Time Favorite
On Tuesday we visited Matthew's, which has become one of our all-time favorites. We have been there several times and have had nothing short of a wonderful meal every time. The food is amazing, the staff is attentive, and the view can't be beat. It is right on the beach at Aruba Beach Club and you can watch the sunset from your table. The variety on the menu makes it hard to decide what to eat. Tuesday's meals included ribs (Tuesday is Rib Night), chicken parmesan, lasagne, and pizza margerita. The lettuce salads were fresh and good-sized. Those who ordered the caesar said it was wonderful. My husband had the Insalata Caprese and said it was amazing. The potion was large, and the fresh mozarella just melted in my mouth. The portion of ribs was huge (two small racks), french fries, and homemade cole slaw. The ribs were so tender that the meat fell off the bones. Both people who ordered the ribs could hardly finish their plates. One of our dining companions described the cole slaw as the best she's ever had. Both the lasagne and the chicken parmesan were large portions, and were very tasty. I had the pizza, which was also very good. On other visits, I have had the grouper and it has always been moist, flaky, and cooked to perfection. Several of us had dessert, including flan and profiteroles. The profiteroles I had were amazing and the serving was so big that I couldn't finish it. The service was friendly and attentive, our water glasses were filled regularly, and out server was quite prompt with our drink orders and any refills. We have visited there with our kids as well, and they enjoyed it as well. This is definitely somewhere I would recommend for families, and for a romantic meal. Matthew's continues to be one of our favorites and somewhere that my husband often asks to visit twice.
Great food & fun
We actually were at Matthew's several times during our 10 day stay. Very good size breakfast and lunch items at very good prices. Made too order and we were never disappointed on taste and quality. Dinner......filet mignon was excellent and a good prices for $30 compared to other places on the island. The lobster pasta was out of this world. Large portion with chunks and I mean chunks of lobster. Mahi mahi was also incredible. The bartenders and wait staff were excellent. Wednesday Karaoke night is a must see event. Like mentioned earlier, great food at good prices.
Best in Aruba!
Best place to go to in Aruba!! Rib Night and Karaoke Night are also fantastic! :) -Rachel
