Daniel’s Steak & Chop

This was our best dining experience in Aruba! We visited on Friday night, and sat in the dining room. (Lack of the famous Aruba breezes made the outdoor seating area less inviting to us.) Very cozy room - lots of privacy at the table, nice atmosphere, limited menu (which we think is a good sign),focused on steaks and chops. My husband ordered the 8 oz filet mignon - which is served over vegetables with your choice of potato or rice or other side and a choice of sauce. He had the brandy-peppercorn sauce, which was delicious. I wasn't as hungry, so I ordered the skewered tenderloin appetizer as my entree. My husband's steak arrived - and must have been at least 10 oz, if not bigger, cooked exactly as ordered and delicious. The side potato was huge - and really, really good and big enough to share. But the real surprise was my "appetizer." I was served two skewers, 4 big pieces of tenderloin on each skewer, over vegetables! Plenty big enough for a meal - and then some. Absolutely delicious. And priced at $12.50!!! The entrees are also very reasonably priced, and very generously sized. We also recommend ordering a glass of the house wine - rather than ordering a bottle. Like everything else, it's a generous portion (at least 7-8 oz) and may be plenty... We had such a good experience, we returned the following night and received 2 complimentary glasses of wine with our dinner! It's an easy walk from any of the high-rise hotels - and the walk back is the perfect way to end the evening.
