    We have been going to Madame Jeanettes for many years. Always enjoyable. This year the food was not consistent. My wife had the almond crusted grouper said it was fantastic. The Chef Skirt Steak was horrible. Maybe the worst meal I’ve had out. We will go back again next year only because we were never disappointed before. Service was good and ambiance wonderful.

    So many people have encouraged me to try this restaurant over the last few years I’ve been visiting Aruba. I finally went and was not impressed. There are so many 5 star reviews; I don’t get it. Our reservation for 4 was scheduled for 8:30, told us it would be 15 mins, they were a little behind. 40 mins later we were seated. Service was fantastic. Nice and attentive. Two servers per table. Food was okay. Very overpriced and completely gluttonous. I don’t know how reviewers ate more than their entree. Every portion was absurd. Again, I don’t get the appeal here. So many better spots on the island. Will not be back.

    This was our fourth visit to Madame Janette’s and as always it was impeccable! We splurged and went for the tomahawk steak with the au gratin potatoes. Absolutely delish!

    We’ve been to the restaurant at least 10x over the years and the food and service are always 5 star. Waiting 30 minutes past my reservation time when it was at 8:30pm wasn’t good. I made a late reservation to avoid the busiest dinner time, and we didn’t get seated until 9pm. Music was louder than I prefer when eating dinner but tolerable. The food and the terrific server compensated for the shortcomings.
