Madame Janette

We had a honeymoon dinner there this week. They treated us so wonderfully it was by far my favorite place we went. Our servers Samuel and Enrique were a big part of making it so special. They were the best servers we had on the island and we ate out every night. Everything was delicious, the entertainment was great. I will be back no doubt when I come back to Aruba

A truly dated restaurant. Food and presentation average at best. Tried the special which sound good on the menu, but everything we received was over cooked. Very expensive for what you get. Much better options on the island. They are busy with mostly an older crowd, so must be why they're not even trying.

We ate there on 2/3/18 for a 6:30 seating near the entertainment section. While the sun was still out everything was ok. However, when the sunset we could not see our food and asked the staff for 2 candles, but they didn\'t help. We had to use the flash lights on our phones to see the meal. The main courses were fine, however the creamy spinach was watery and the rest of the side dishes where cold when served. It took for ever to get our bill once we completed our meal. We got the feeling they were trying to keep us there because they weren\'t that busy on a Saturday night. Too bad, because this used to be our favorite restaurant in Aruba.

We visit Aruba twice a year (its our home away from home). By far this is one of the places we go to every time. Everything about this restaurant is amazing! You can not visit Aruba without dining here.

Wold class food with classical service. Setting is alfresco. Best meal I had on the Island

My wife and I chose this restaurant on our 24th wedding anniversary on suggestion of our concierge. This will be our 6th trip to Aruba and our 7th or 8th meal at Madame Janette's. The food is always great, the service is always great, the atmosphere is always great and the live music is always great.
For individuals that have rated this restaurant poorly I am dismayed. My wife and I have traveled the world together and eaten at some of the best restaurants known. That said, we have never been even remotely dissapointed at MJ's. I try something different each time I go, and I am always amazed at how I couldn't pick a favorite if I wanted too. My wife is a fish person and I am a steak person. We both have multiple items available and the desserts are always the best.
I know when you go there, the location may seem weird, but the food and ambiance in the garden is spectacular. We have eaten at many of the top restaurants on the island and this has been and more than likely will always be our favorite. When you book reservation for 2, ask for table G4 or G5 and you will be right by the stage. There are larger tables for larger groups across from these, but I am not sure what their designations are. Bonapetit & Cheers--

Our first experience at Madame Janette's several years ago was not a good one, this year made up for that.
Our waiter patiently answered our questions and was diligent in notifying the kitchen of our food allergies. Three of us had the filet mignon, all cooked to perfection. I went with the lamb chops and was blown away by how good they were and the sauce that much better. After my daughter finished her steak, she couldn't stop dipping her french fries into the lamb sauce.
Very happy we gave it a second chance.

When I am in Aruba I generally eat there twice a week. Love the atmosphere, the background live music and the sumptuous dishes. The staff remembers my likes and will make great suggestion if there is something new. I went two nights in a row for the white asparagus because I could not try them all the first night. I have reffered many friends and they all love it. Try it

We had heard so many complimentary things about this restaurant before we went to Aruba, we were wondering if it would really live up to the hype. And hands down, it did! The food and service were superb! The almond encrusted grouper w/spinach cream sauce w/the white asparagus was Delicious! And my husband thoroughly enjoyed his tourenados of beef wrapped in bacon-along w/the au gratin potatoes. The wine, the service & the special dessert they presented to us (as we were celebrating our 25th Anniv) was a special added touch. We will definitely be back!!
Thank you

Worst service ever. Took 2 hours to have dinner. Then we ordered dessert to take with us and asked for our check at the same time. That took another 30 minutes. Ridiculous
After all that, we were given the wrong dessert.
Will not be returning.
