Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Madame Janette in Aruba offers a delightful dining experience with "outstanding food" and "great service." Guests love the "almond crusted grouper" and generous portions. The ambiance is enhanced by live music and a beautiful outdoor setting. Despite occasional slow service and high prices, it's a "must-visit" for many.

    First time visit and it will NOT be the last. Very enjoyable, set primarily in the covered areas. Live Music was enjoyable and quite good although some diners felt they could sing louder and better. They could not, and were simply an annoyance. I had the Hungarian Goulash Soup. It was hearty and quite good. DW had the almond crusted grouper and thoroughly enjoyed it. From my taste, I thought the almonds overwhelmed the excellent grouper. To each their own. It was prepared and cooked to perfection. I had the fettuccine with chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the dish was great. The. Grape tomatoes accented the meal! Service was for the most part quite good and our server was excellent except the two times she was too busy and we were left unattended. A manager did come by to process the payment to help out. Overall , a very good experience!

    Fantastic food and a large beer menu. We go there every time we visit Aruba. It is a bit expensive, but the food is great.

    We had an excellent meal. Jai and Jay were very attentive and awesome servers. My husband had the almond crusted grouper and I had the schnitzel. Both were delicious. It was a little difficult moving our chairs as they sunk in the gravel in the courtyard, and until the birds went to sleep at dusk, they were very noisy in the tree tops. Other than those 2 small annoyances, we had a great experience.

    Madame Janette was recommended so we thought we’d give it a try . Reservations a must , the beef carpaccio was excellent, my butchers steak was excellent, cooked perfectly medium rare . House wine was pretty good also , a decent pour. Music was pleasant and the staff were super! Especially welcoming was the guy who greeted us as we arrived by taxi . Such a cool guy . Vibes were flowing and I highly recommend this to you if you’re looking for an off the hotel path of restaurants worthy of the their price point.

    This is our 12th time to Aruba and we always go to Madame Janette! When we arrived, the hostess mentioned our seating request and noted which table we had on our previous visit, asking if we wanted the same table! (A year ago) Our meal started with a couple of different German lagers (their beer menu is several pages long…). We chose lobster ravioli as our appetizer, and it was delicious. We both picked the almond grouper as our main course and we loved it; the topping of ribboned carrots and creamed spinach was yummy. Each dinner came with a side, so we chose creamed spinach and potatoes augratin. The portion sizes are generous. We have enough leftovers for a meal today. They also bring focaccia bread with two dipping sauces to the table as you enjoy a drink before ordering. One sauce was an oil/onion/chili pepper, and the other was garlic butter. Both were excellent…just try to not fill up on it before dinner! The service is attentive, and they’ve introduced an extra feature…there is a light on the table that provides a nice glow, and when you flip it, the light turns red. Within a minute of flipping it to red, someone will come to your table to address your needs (another drink, order dessert, get the check, etc). Excellent idea!! I wish more restaurants would do it. Make your reservations in advance - I normally book reservations before we fly in.
