Excellent place to eat

The food and service were both excellent! From the minute we walked in until the moment we left our service was excellent. They brought us garlic bread with sweet pickled onion sauce and our drinks right away then our appetizers. We tryed the calamari fritti and coconut shrimp both were excellent. For our entrees I chose pan fried blackened Mahi Mahi which was one of 3 choices for the fish of the day, my husband chose blackened shrimp and our son chose pan fried Mahi Mahi Aruban style. We each had a choice of potato or rice, steamed vegetables came with each order and all were cooked to perfection. Our waiter was Andre, he was assisted by Martin and Patty. We highly recommend this restraurant.

not worth the risk

Situated on a street occupied by prostitutes and homeless this restaurant that claims to serve the freshest fish only offers two fresh catches. Our fish was adequate but the shrimp cocktail was likely from frozen shrimp. Our child ordered the lobster tails, also frozen, since they do not offer fresh lobster and it was soft and going rancid. The children's menu was of poor quality and the waitress admitted the mac and cheese was from Kraft.

we had fish at Gianni last night and it was wonderful.

Superior Restaurant

This was our fifth trip to Aruba (Renaissance). Best visit to Driftwood yet. Excellent good (Garlic shrimp and Curry Shrimp). I realize that you are supposed to have the fresh fish, but they can also go off of mainline with great success.

Great food

I will start with the good which was the food. We both had the Wahoo 2 different ways and it was excellent. The sides are boring a baked potatoe and vegatbles, not much of a presentation.When we received the menus it looked like they use them as placemats. They had food on them and were faded out. There are simple fixes that do not cost a lot of money that would make this restaurant one of the best on the island.
