Not sure of name it is a steak place and its Argintinian (spelling). OMG so good and not expensive. Then you have to take the drunk tour. I know its your honymoon but its so much fun.

Re: Must see/go in Aruba!..
Ooh you MUST go to Madame Janettes!!!
That is THE most romantic rest. on the island!! Ask to sit in the garden and request Rick for a server, he;s the BEST!!!....don't miss the almond grouper or the shrimp -- better than ive had in nyc rests.
Here's my trip review from Trip Advisor which is v. detailed::
that lists our 5 rest's we went to, activities & money savers
def go to the natural pool !!!

Re: Must see/go in Aruba!..
we just got back... here's the places we went.
Food- Night 1-Room service- Radisson hotel.
Night 2- El Gaucho (argentian grill)-excellent food and service. delicious side dishes- esp. the plantains!!! Nice cigar bar affliated with it across the street.
Night 3- Texas de' Brazil- grill where the waiters bring all types of meat around to your tables. Good food-but more chain-like restaurant. Located in high rise section.
Night 3- Papiamiento- EXECELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE- my favorite meal of the trip- all kinds of food options- meat, fish, pasta. Quiet atmosphere, outdoor seating. We sat at tables around the pool. Highly recommend this!!!!
Night 4- Madam Jeanette- Great atmosphere, good food, large portions, but slow (although friendly) service. Outdoor seating.
Night 5- Sunset Grill- steaki & fish located in the Radisson hotel. Good food, somewhat pricey.
We recommend renting a jeep and going off roading. You'll see some great sites- natural bridge (or what's left of it), ruins, dunes, national park, beaches, etc. It's so much fun to rent your own jeep and explore on your own. I think cost us around $200 for 3 days.
Make sure to hit baby beach... beautiful smaller beach on south east side of the island.
Great jewerly in Orjanstaad....
The sopranos bar is a relaxing place to have a few drinks and listen to some good, live entertainment.
If your into scuba diving or just want to try it, we did the resort course and had a lot of fun.
We also took a sunset sail.
We did not do the kookunkuku bus, but it looked like so much fun everytime it drove by.
