We have been coming to Madame Janette for 15+ years. This place never disappoints. The shrimp casserole and the crusted almond grouper are my favorite dishes. The coconut cake is just CRAZY good ! Can’t wait to go back. 😍

The service was very good. We had the Tuna tartar, ceviche and beef carpaccio for apps, they were all great! We had the skirt steak and Versace for entrees, the entrees were ok, nothing outstanding except for the portion. I wished that they would make a little smaller, we were only able to eat half of the food and since we were staying at a hotel, bringing food home wasn't an option.
The atmosphere is nice but it almost felt like a restaurant that is not in the Caribbean trying to make it look like they are in the Caribbean, hard to explain.
Overall, it was a decent experience. I am not sure if I would come back here tho.

This place was very busy for Wednesday night in Summer. Food: we ordered the steak for 2 people. It was delish. Warning: if you order a meal and share the food, there will be $12 charged. There are some menu that is for 2 people.

This place is absolutely worth the hype! On our honeymoon in Aruba for 11 days and ate at many popular places, but MJ's was definitely our favorite! Had a great table outside near the live music (vocalist playing acoustic covers, she was awesome and the vibe was on point). For dinner, we had the old butcher steak (cooked perfectly, great flavors) and the schnitzel schwarzenegger (crispy deliciousness, completely covered in Swiss cheese with a yummy berry situation to eat it with), both of these entrees were fantastic! Loved the bread, garlic spread and pickled onions they brought out to start. Delicious drinks. Be advised, you definitely need a reservation --We arrived 10 minutes early before ours and had to wait until the reservation time, but there's a bar or places to sit while you wait. Dreamy atmosphere, fast service and overall 10/10!
