"Thanks to its robust offerings, Driftwood is widely considered the best seafood restaurant on the island. Here, marquee dishes range from Atlantic king crab to Caribbean lobster, while standard options include coconut-battered shrimp and the catch of the day, often hauled in from the sea by the restaurant’s owner. For an even fresher meal, opt for the catch-and-cook experience: Driftwood Charter Yacht offers deep-sea fishing excursions, after which the house chef back at the restaurant will prepare whatever you’ve caught."

Driftwood Restaurant is a great establishment with a welcoming ambiance. The food was good. The crab cakes were definitely our favorite item here. Would surely come back for them as they were simply sublime. Do ask for the hot sauce as it was amazing with the crab cakes and the other items. The sangria was well made. The service was friendly, courteous, and attentive. Restaurant patrons were able leave writings on the walls to commemorate their visit and etch themselves into the establishment. Very cool aspect. Would definitely recommend when in Aruba.

I really had a wonderful time at the Driftwood. The environment is unique, nautical, and loads of fun. A lot of the wood around the restaurant is interesting with all types of written messages in it from patrons. The food is excellent! The price isn't too bad for Aruba. I definitely will be going back as often as possible.

We did a fishing charter with Driftwood Charters and caught tuna, barracuda, and wahoo. Went to the restaurant where for $17/person the fish we caught were prepared in multiple styles. It was one of the best dinners I have had in years!

Our server was so nice and accommodating, food came up quickly and piping hot. I tried the fish soup and he brought some papaya hot sauce to add to it. Great call! The escargot is a can’t miss appetizer and the creole shrimp with a peach sauce was also great.

We visited the restaurant after our fishing charter as they offered to cook what we had caught. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all fantastic. The servers all work together to ensure that everyone has what they need. I would highly recommend Driftwood to anyone visiting the island.

This place was amazing! They cooked up our mahi mahi that we had caught earlier in the day. Every style of preparation was absolutely delicious! Service was impeccable. Highly recommend this place (free garlic bread is delish!)
