    We had a delightful experience at Madame Janette! The portions were huge which we weren’t expecting. We ordered 2 appetizers which was a meal in itself. The main meal was delicious ,however we could not finish which is not a bad thing. We were leaving the next day so couldn’t take the leftovers. Advice- go here early in your trip and have leftovers for the next day!

    We went for our honey moon! We had the tomahawk and fried Oreos!! Yum!! The crème brûlée martini was 10/10! It was delish, very quick taxi ride and we’ll come back when we’re back!! The creamed spinach was one of the best we’ve ever had!! Wow so good!! The char on the steak with the chimichurri was one of the best as well!!! So good

    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.
