Best Live Music Restaurants in Savaneta

Elements is a favorite every year. Harrison was our waiter, and he was wonderful- as are all the staff. The menu changed and we missed our favorite appetizers from last year, but the ceviche and spicy shrimp were delicious. Tuna steak was cooked perfectly and the cheesecake is the best I have had here. Above all, it is the perfect place to watch the sunset on this beautiful island.

From the moment you walk into Madame Janette, you are transported into a garden oasis where the scents of spices and flowers fill your senses and prepare you for an experience you will remember forever. The quality of service and food is top caliber and Michelin level. The staff is attentive and super courteous. As I looked around, I noticed the staff greeting returning customers and greeting them with hugs and kisses. You didn’t see any less warmth for new customers. Which is such a nice experience because no one wants to feel left out.

Everything was great until we were charged $9 for water and $25 for sharing an entree, even though our tab was already well over $100. It’s probably the coolest restaurant we’ve ever been to but the excess charges on the bill had us leave on a bad note.

All 12 in our group had a perfect dinner. Fish was very fresh (unlike many restaurants here) and all the meals were delicious. I had lamb and it was amazing. It was nice that several items had 2 portion sizes so I was able to get an appropriate sized meal. In addition, their wine list was nice and had good pricing. Lastly the ambiance was amazing! Fun to have our feet in the sand, watch the sunset, and listen to soft music. By far the best restaurant over our 7 night stay in Aruba.

After a mediocre expensive dinner elsewhere, we were thrilled to have discovered Opus & only wish we'd known about it in past years!!The presentation, the generous portions, the flavors, the personable wait staff, the willingness to accommodate changes, the ambience and the reasonable costs: everything was wonderful. Our lamb chops, chicken parmigiana, and uni linguini were all excellent. For nearly 1/2 the charge for a gin & tonic elsewhere, my husband's drink was perfect. Highly recommend all vacationers add Opus to their dining options- we absolutely will for 2026!!
