We went there for Valentines day. We both had the Grilled Seafood Medley. OMG, it was THE best seafood plate we ever had, the service was great and to top it off they were giving a rose to all the ladies that night. Great experience and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back next time we're in Aruba!!!
Yemanja Woodfire Grill is one of the best restrants in Aruba. The service was amazing and the food tasted great! The menu contained all allergy information possible (gluten free, nut free, vegetarian, ect). 10/10 would go again!
This restaurant came highly recommended by the host of my Airbnb and was within walking distance from where I was staying. The ambiance was nice. The food was delicious and I even met some new friends there. I had the seafood medley which was delicious. The steak also looked really good too. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the downtown Orangestad area.
It was awesome! We immediately got a table and also were served quickly. Had the stuffed portobello mushroom which was recommend by Annie our waitress, and it was delicious and looked beautiful as well. Same goes for the desert, also a recommendation. Left the place with a full belly and very happy! When you are in Aruba, definitely come here.
One of the better meals that i have eate n anywhere. Best meal I have eaten in Aruba. They definitely know how to grill meat.
Great food with great presentation. Varied choices for vegan and vegetarian. One of the best food places in the Caribbean.
Nice place with good food and service. Has changed over the years. Some better, some worse. Still a nice experience and setting.
Food was GREAT. Everything was super fresh and cooked to perfection. The only reason why I’m giving it 4 stars and not 5 is the service- we waited about 40 min for every dish to come out which was extremely frustrating, while we came in to a full bubbly restaurant and ended up as the last table, dining there for 2 hours and a half. By the end of the meal, we couldn’t even think of waiting for another 40 min for dessert.
One of the top restaurants we tried on the island. Good enough to warrant 3 repeat visits. Only tried fish and salads, everything was awesome.
The ambiance was great and they offered a good selection of surf and turf. We enjoyed the ahi tuna but the calamri trio and seafood melody left room for improvement. We thought it would be more grilled but it tasted pan fried. The staff were every attentive and seated us quickly without prior reservation. This place is very popular and it would probably be best to make reservations in advance.
The atmosphere is very rustic and cozy. Service is impeccable and the food is AWESOME. If you're ever in Aruba go here you won't be disappointed.
Menu options varied- amazing choices. Ambiance is perfect- low level music in background. My only complaint is the seating - I would prefer side to side seating as opposed to sitting opposite each other
I knew once I ordered my drink this place was going to be amazing, the kiwi watermelon margarita was hand crafted and delicious!!! The food was the best food I had on vacation. I ordered the Picanha, excellent. The service was top notch. Will definately be back next trip!!
This was a great dining experience. The food was excellent !!! The service was prefect. If you are in Aruba you have to visit Yemanja.
One of the few places on the island that doesn't have a typical "template" menu. That saidChef Joyce de Cuba - Hüsken went out of her way to make sure that their vegan dishes dazzled my taste buds while the wait staff were always there for us. Overall great experience.
Favorite restaurant on the island! Food was amazing and great cocktails! They have food for vegetarian as well if you're not into meat. The skirt steak was unbelievable! Definitely go here if you get the chance!
We came here on a Tuesday night and it was not to crowded. It is a excellent family/upscale restaurant with inside and outside seating. The flavor and presentation of the plates was very nice and they have an excellent wine and cocktail list. The steak was tender and cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable.
Delicious food, excellent service, clean environment, kids friendly. They also offer vegetarian dishes, gluten-free, dairy free and nuts free dishes. And wine pairing.
Love this family friendly restaurant. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. It's become one of my favorites on the island.
What an excellent restaurant!!! Reservations are a must, but the experience and food is one of the best on the island. My wife and I discovered Yemanja while on our honeymoon, and we cannot wait to go back. The staff was friendly, attentive, even helped in celebrating our honeymoon.
The menu is modern and healthy, providing options for all diet types. The cocktails are excellent and have a wide variety. We cannot wait to get back to Yemanja!
Might be the best restaurant on the whole island. Plenty of variety and creativity throughout the menu.
Drinks were amazing. Our waiter immediately picked up that we were not in any rush and arranged for our appetizers, entrees, and drinks to come out accordingly. The food was spectacular, as well. The skirt steak was the most favorable food we had on the island.
Triple tail fish was off the chart. Italiano grouper was just as good. Great service. Best meal we've had in Aruba.
We were there about a year ago. I had the the stuffed pork tenderloin. I Have been to many restaurants internationally and domestic and have eaten at some great places, and I can honestly say, this dish was one of my top few anywhere that I can remember. Maybe it was the two bottles of wine that made it taste so good, but it was really good.
