We had lunch at Matthew's and it was delicious. We enjoyed it so much we ate there a second time during our 7 days in Aruba. The fish sandwiches and the seafood soup were great! It is enjoyed as much by the locals as by the tourists.

Matthew's was crowded (in a good way) and everyone there (customer's) seemed very happy. I had filet mignon (perfect) and my husband had all you can eat ribs and had a second 1/2 rack. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. We will definitely go back.

We ate at Matthews by accident in July . The atmosphere is casual and right on the beach !! We had the lobster pasta - Oh my goodness !!! Huge chucks of lobster. We ended up taking some back to our resort for lunch the next day. We are back to Costa Linda next July and will certainly visit Matthew's... More

We ate dinner here simply because we could walk to it. The location on the beach is ok, but not as nice as some locations. The food was fine, but not great. The service was a little slow given that there were only a few other guests in the restaurant.

The night we visited the restaurant was quiet, but do not know why as the quantity and quality of the food was exceptional.Maybe it is bexcause it sits off the main road at the back of the Alhambra Casino in the Casa Del Mar Beach Resort and cannot be seen from the main road. I started of with Tomato Soup... More

This fine eatery is located on the property where I live for two weeks out of the year for the past twenty three years. We have had bad restaurants here before but Matthew's has been a keeper. Yes to food is above average and price is moderate for Aruba. But fits in with the smaller condo population and becomes ad... More

Excellent food, Some of the tables are under the roof & some are outside on the deck. The restaurant is open & you are right on the beach. The Staff was wonderful and extremely friendly. If you are there more than once they remember you & your preferences.
