    We had a great time at MJ’s! Loved the relaxed vibe, enjoyed the live music and the food was delish. The sea bass and coconut cake were standouts!

    Do not order ribeye steak as it is overpriced and undersized compared to other restaurants in Aruba. However, the taste was good. If you can, make sure you sit outside in the “garden”. We were placed next to the bar, outside, it was very noisy. When asked if we could sit outside in the garden, we were told it would be a 45 min wait. My other guests had enjoyed their food; however, agreed with the above.

    My husband ordered the swordfish Special and I had the schnitzel special. Both were delicious and were good sized portions. The cocktail list is excellent. More importantly, they have a beer selection that is bigger than anything. I’ve seen on the island. There’s a cute little bar and cocktail area outdoors to sit before or after dinner. We really enjoyed the experience.

    We ordered the cutting board steak for two. Food was delicious and service was great. Seating is all outside, fenced in. Unfortunately there was a cat that was entering & running around looking for food from the tables/guests. It entered and left at the opening by our table all night. Seemed a bit unsanitary for a restaurant this good and popular to allow.

    We ate at Madame Jeanette’s last night and it was one of the meals we have ever had there. Our steaks were so tender you could have cut them with a butter knife. We always get the Au gratin potatoes and they were excellent as always. The gentleman singing music was one of best we have heard there. He was at Moomba the night before so we were excited to see him again. Our family always has Madame Jeanette’s on the list of restaurants to eat at an each trip as it never disappoints.

    We have been coming to madame Janette’s for 15 years On every visit to Aruba this is a must night for dinner! Everything was expectable, I was just a little disappointed in my Grouper Almonde which what I always get…. It wasn’t encrusted with as many almonds as usual a the spinach cream sauce although very good was a lot less sauce then usual.
