Lauderdale-by-the-Sea's animated Aruba Beach Cafe brings the spirit of the islands to this popular oceanside spot. Sitting by the window or on the covered deck makes you feel like you've never left the shore at all. Relax as the night's featured band jams to a little Bob Marley, and enjoy one of Aruba Beach Cafe's stellar beverages. From frozen cocktails and original "beach tinis" to fine wines and flavored dessert coffees, every sip invokes the kind of beachside essence that inspired Jimmy Buffett's greatest hits. The menu of excellent starters, tropical salads, juicy burgers and fresh seafood boasts large portions and something-for-everyone appeal. Particularly recommended are the conch fritters, the Caribbean lobster sandwich and the seafood platter, but anything glazed with the house Jamaican jerk sauce proves perfectly full of flavor. Don't forget to finish with a decadent ice cream dessert drink (think a liquid version of a Milky Way or Key lime pie) or a slice of what the New Times named the best Key lime pie of 2006. Sunday brunch-by-the-sea (9 am–noon) is also a popular affair, featuring a full spread of breakfast pastries, muffins and tropical fruits as well as any-way eggs and other traditional American morning classics such as corned beef hash and French toast.
