We were wandering around one night and happened upon this place. We didn't have a reservation, so we had to sit outside, which was fine because it was a lovely night. If it was in a better location (lots of street traffic) the outdoor dining would be excellent. Not much of a "scenic" atmosphere. But the food and service were... more

We love good food and I was not overwhelmed. Considering the prices, I expected more of the restaurant. Simple menu - fish and steak. Nothing special. The help was fine and the service was okay. more

If you are looking for a restaurant with a view this is not the place but if you are looking for good food this is the place. My bofriend and I ate here on a reccomendation from a local (transplanted) and the food was fantastic. We had the tuna tartare salad and cheese plate to start. Let me add that... more

Yemanja is absolutely awesome! I am a foodie! My best friend is a trained chef so I know good food! I visited Aruba for my 5 year anniversary with hubby.

13th year in Aruba, Yemanja is a must for anyone who doesnt want to go to the overcrowded, chain, hotel places. great place to go for couples for a meal not to be forgotten. more

We started the meal with appetizers...I had the onion soup, which was the best onion soup I'd ever had. My husband had the fish chowder, which was also very good. I had the filet mignon with a red wine reduction and... more

We stopped by Yemanja early in the week to check out the menu. Again, a restaurant so close to our hotel (The Renaissance Marina) that we could see it from our balcony! We stopped back the next night to make reservations. They remembered us! We were able to reserve the specific table we wanted on the romantic patio. During the... more

Service & food was ok, nothing special. The salads were actually the best part of the meal. The fish entrees were good but very small (not sure what the other reviewers had). My husband had the boursin stuffed grouper. When he saw it, he thought it was 2 jumbo scallops. He was very disappointed with the size. I had the... more

Good choice downtown away from the crowds. Excellent food; huge portions and nice subtle smokey flavour. Very good service and outdoor patio quite lovely (although not exactly a view). We enjoyed our dinner here very much. more
