    Absolutely the best meal I have had on Aruba. Beautiful setting over the water, perfect for watching the sunset. Our cocktails were delicious, my tuna appetizer and grouper main course were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this awesome dining experience.

    Food was very good, and the views can't be beat! We ordered the fish of the day and chicken and the chicken breast was one of the best dishes we've had here!! Definitely recommend. We made a reservation around 6:30pm, I definitely recommend that time or a little earlier to catch the beautiful sunset as the restaurant is on the water. Overall beautiful place with great food and service!

    This is the cutest little restaurant out in the ocean. It’s a fabulous sunset dinner location and after the sun goes down, the water is lit up so you can see all the fish. It’s just gorgeous. The food itself was delicious and the service was excellent. We were here for hours. Thank you for a great experience!

    What a great place to eat. The food here is wonderful, but the atmosphere is absolutely stellar. The staff was very attentive and the meal was superb. We had reservations for 30 minutes before sunset, this is not to be missed. Then by the time we left, the lights were on, the water was glowing (literally) and it all just added to the experience. This is a must when in Aruba.

    The best place on the island for delicious food, beautiful sunset and the staff is amazing. It's recommended to make a reservation 24 to 48 hours ahead.

    This is one of the best restaurants for an unblocked sunset seaview plus great food! All their staff were friendly, and offered great service! Prices are comparable with most other restaurants around here, but this restaurant wins with the best view amongst all.

    The 4 is for the ambiance and experience. I noticed that the key lime pie and side veggies were the same here as the other restaurants we tried. The key lime pie is like a custard. Not a curd and Meringue pie that you get in Key West. The steaks were over seasoned and not the greatest quality for the price. The wedge salad was great but smaller size portion. Go for the views and ambiance.

    Excellent food. Great service. Drinks were good. Sunsets there are breath taking. Well worth a visit. Cost about $40 taxi ride one way from eagle Beach area. I highly recommend going!

    Best restaurant ive tried in aruba so far. Highly recommend. Great seating with a sunset on the water dock. Few boats were docked there after catching fresh fish so watching them fillet it was pretty cool. Plenty of fish to see while at your seat in the clear blue waters. Excellent food for taste. The octopus & ribeye were my faves. Our waiter Ronald was very friendly, quick and provided great service. Very romantic experience on the water

    Got incredibly sick eating at this horrible restaurant back in Dec2019. Ambiance is nice, however, they undercooked my salmon twice after I told them there was a problem with it. The waiter was awful, very impatient . Ruined the rest of my vacation because I was sick after I ate there. So many other places to eat- avoid it!

    The ambiance, service, food and drinks were all great! We walked in at 5:30pm and we’re still able to get a seat on the pier. The view was amazing! The 15% service charge is included in all checks but we still left a little extra.

    Felt like we were on the set of a James Bond movie, what a very special place for our last night in Aruba. A beautiful sunset location out in the sea, watch the sun go down to the sounds of live music. Floyd was our server and did an amazing job looking after all our needs. The food and drinks were fantastic, a very memorable evening.

    Quite possibly the best meal I've ever had. Started with grilled octopus appetizer that was so tender you would've thought it was a medium rare cooked steak...simply delicious. Spouse had Grouper & Fish Stew that was cooked to perfection while I had Fish Trio (4oz each of Red Snapper, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi) all grilled to allow each fish to shine. Finished with White & Chocolate cake (several layers of flavors) and Key Lime Pie that was so much better than anything I've had in Key West. Our waiter, Ronald, was great. Very attentive and helpful. Lastly, the sunset from the table on the over-the-water dock topped off the evening. Be sure to make reservations 5 months in advance (and then reconfirm 2 days before) as spots are few and demand is high.

    Great time at this restaurant. The setting is very nice, on a pier surrounded by the ocean with blue light giving the water a neon blue hew. The drinks were delicious and the pincho I ordered and my wife’s salad and soup were delicious. Prices are high, but it is well worth it for the ambiance alone. Great place to eat when on holiday in amazing Aruba.

    Such an amazing restaurant. The location is absolutely beautiful. Came here for our wedding anniversary and our reservation allowed us to enjoy the beautiful Aruban sunset. From our drinks to our appetizers to our main course everything was absolutely delicious. Definitely worth the visit because it will not disappoint.

    Delicious food all around. I had the garlic shrimp dinner and my sister had the filet. I did substitute with mashed potatoes though as i do not like coconut rice. Also beautiful location. Must go once while on the island !

    Hi unfortunately we did not have the experience others have had at this restaurant. We ate there this evening and 2 main items made the meal forgettable. First the fish cakes appetizer was nothing special. Sadly, we can get better fish cakes at our local farmer’s market and the ocean is thousands of kilometres from our home. Second, my mahi mahi entree arrived 3/4s uncooked. Our server handled the situation well and even offered a different dish if I didn’t want to eat that anymore. It was fixed. What surprised us was no accommodation on our bill of any kind for a very disappointing experience on a signature dish on the menu. Maybe that’s not how business is done here. Our server was good.. it was the food that was disappointing. BTW... the setting is very nice on the water. A word of caution though... if it’s more blustery that unusual where you are staying... then you may find yourself having a very windy dinner at this location. The view is very nice though.

    The waiter threw out my dinner leftovers after confirming twice that I wanted to take them home. Took him 3 times to get our checks correct. All about the sunset view, but based on this waiter tonight I will not return.

    Loved this restaurant! The atmosphere on the dock over the water was fantastic, and the views were amazing. The food was great as well!

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    My people the view is Amazing!. If you can try getting a dine in experience to watch the sunset 🌇 I highly recommend it. (5:30/6pm) Try the Ceviche appetizer you won't regret it. A beautiful experience with great food.

  • 5/5 Linda D. 5 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    I wish I could give more than 5 stars because this place truly deserves them. This is the ideal location to watch the sunset and enjoy a fabulous meal. The restaurant is located on the actual pier. After sunset lights go on under the pier and in the water for a romantic glow. You need to make a reservation well in advance. We had to wait 4 days for a sunset dinner reservation. We had the specials: red snapper and wahoo combo with lobster tail and shrimp. All large portions and extremely delicious. Staff was all very friendly.

  • 5/5 Shari V. 5 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    The tables are located on a pier and the water is illuminated to see the fish below your feet!! Even this setting pales in comparison to the food! The octapus was our favorite dish (we do not even have a photo because it was so delicious) and we will dream about this dish! The fishcakes had great flavor and was not all fill like many other restaurants. FANTATIC and a restaurant we cannot wait to visit again!! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Nicole V. 2 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    One of the best places to eat on the island. Located at the end of a peir, with beautiful views, watched the sunset. All of our apps and main courses were amazing! The service was also outstanding!

  • 5/5 Busco F. 9 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Beautiful dinner over the water on a beautiful board walk. Easily our favorite dinner while on our honeymoon. Food was great and the view of the sunset while over the water was awesome. The restaurant is behind another venue which is not obvious at first and there was loud music going on at the venue but it didnt degrade our experience. I had great seafood (red fish). Would recommend. it was pretty cheap too.

  • 5/5 Jillian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely, friendly staff. Marlon is very personable and entertaining. The food and drinks were very good. Absolutely gorgeous views and a perfect place to enjoy a sunset. One of those places you don't want to leave.

  • 5/5 Jason F. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I love this place. Pictures don't do it justice. Definitely one of our favorite places on the Island. Also big shoutout to FLOYD our waiter, who made the experience even better!!!

  • 5/5 Dennis C. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't say enough. WOW factor on food and views. Had the twin lobster tail and grilled octopus. Was outstanding. And portions were nice

  • 5/5 Dom D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, great vibes, great service, and good food. The cocktail is not worth mentioning. The seafood bisque was the highlight of our dinner. Overall the place is expensive, but has cool vibes. There’s live music. Also, they charge 15% mandatory service tip.

  • 3/5 Rogel A. Garcia J. 2 years ago on Google
    This was our first dinner in Aruba and I have to say it was underwhelming. I made reservations here as I saw good reviews as well as beautiful views, but views aren't everything when the food is subpar. We were a party of three, famished as we had only landed a few hours before. I ordered Pan Seared Caribbean Grouper. It wasn't inedible, but it definitely did not impress in the slightest. My wife ordered Fish Trio. I tasted all three fish on her plate and they did not taste much different from each other at all. The third dish was Maple Bourbon BBQ Cowboy Pincho which was OK. Long story short, I would not recommend this restaurant as the food was not worth the price. The view is beautiful, but guess what? There are many restaurants in Aruba with great views that are worth it.

  • 5/5 Deb B. 6 months ago on Google
    Best place we went all week! Service was perfection, food was spectacular and location was divine. Absolutely a Must Go when on the island

  • 4/5 Christopher G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cool over-the-water restaurant. Service was okay but food was good. A bit pricey for the quality but you can’t beat the location. The cruise ships are in port and the planes land as you eat. (Not disruptive) Definitely a must see in Aruba

  • 5/5 Kyle L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location and the server worked really hard to make sure we had a great New Years Eve. I had the coconut shrimp special, BBQ Pincho, and chocolate cake, which were all great. I would certainly go back!

  • 1/5 Alicia W. 6 months ago on Google
    I would avoid. My chicken felt raw. It had an h under cooked texture to the point I spit it out because I was concerned. It had a nicely flavored sauce which was brown and the lighting in the restaurant was dim, so it was hard for me to visually tell if it was in fact undercooked. I cook frequently at home and eat chicken at home and out so I do know what it is supposed to taste/feel like. I shared my concern and they sent the manager our and he informed me that it was cooked “tender” and that they could cook it more if I wanted it dry. I politely declined and asked if it was cooked to 165 as I don’t want to get sick and he nodded and told me it was. They did not offer a discount but offered a complimentary dessert which we also declined as I didn’t want anything further that came out of that kitchen. Huge disappointment and honestly worried that I am going to get sick from this for our last 2 days of vacation. I am really grossed out and unhappy. The rice and vegetables were nice but in light of the chicken issue I would never come back or recommend.

  • 5/5 E G. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow. What a great experience. Amazing views. Food and beverages were good as well. Definitely try to go at sunset. So far my favorite spot.

  • 5/5 Donald W. 5 months ago on Google
    This place didn't disappoint. We sat over the water and the food, service, and ambiance was on point!!! Would totally recommend.

  • 3/5 Madison W. 3 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    The views and atmosphere surround this restaurant were remarkable however the service and food were not on par. Our waiter was very bland and seemed annoyed with serving our table and the others. The appetizers were amazing and I would definitely recommend the octopus and sliders however it took around an hour for our food to come out and most of the dishes were cold. The steak was asked to be medium and was beyond rare when we received it, the waiter took the steak back from three minutes and when it was brought back it felt like jello and was still under cooked.

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 4 years ago on Google

    Once again a great meal at Pinchos Bar and Grill. The food was outstanding!! Would highly recommend you make this one of your stops while on the island. A big thank you to Marlon and Manuel for taking such great care of us on our visits!

  • 1/5 Joe M. 3 years ago on Google
    A very Smug, Stuffy Atmosphere. I ordered Mahi and my husband 3 fish plate. Tasted like it was previously frozen....no flavor. The sauce to go with the fish was like luke warm teriyaki sauce out of your local grocery store bottle. My sauce tasted like any no flavor luke warm tomato sauce. My fish already had garlic and olive oil on it. Very unusual combinations. My husband pays for our meal and the host told us they forgot to add the service charge. After we already entered our tip. So he charges our card right there at the table. They definitely did not have the welcome to our island attitude. Horrible experience.

  • 5/5 Soo J. 5 years ago on Google
    We came here based on the rave reviews and wanting to catch a sunset dinner and we were not disappointed! We ordered the chimichurri steak and the Wahu, which was the special for the day and they were both delicious. We had a table by the pier and had a great view of the sunset. Make sure to make a reservation, I made the reservation online and communication by email was seamless.

  • 5/5 Dustin L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food while on a pier overlooking the sunset, great atmosphere and service. Would recommend for a nice dinner and view

  • 4/5 Joshua T. 3 years ago on Google
    Got there at 5:15 but they weren't open yet. They were ready to seat at 5:30. Staff was very nice and attentive, our kids their 5th basket of bread even as we were finishing our meals. The jerk chicken and butternut squash puree was delicious. I had the bbq skewer which was good but not a lot of meat. My wife got the half bbq chicken which was a lot of food but the chicken was kind of bland. For sides we had truffle fries, mixed vegetables and grilled brussel sprouts; all of which were very good. The fish is probably significantly better, we are just not big fish eaters. Best part was the sunset. You have amazing views out on the pier.

  • 2/5 Christopher G. 3 years ago on Google
    Gosh, hate to say it because so many good reviews, but the food just wasn’t great. I got the snapper and she got the lobster, both over cooked. Service wasn’t great. Ambiance is pretty and sangria is good, for what it’s worth.

  • 5/5 Stephanie C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Dom D. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a fun place to hang out at night. Especially Sunday. But don’t pay cash. Male bartenders ring drinks in. Had 4 of the same drinks and they made up prices. One told me 7.50 and i have him 10 and he gave me back one dollar. They all go ummm.... and give you price. Bigger guy on small bar with beard is the most shady guy

    While in Aruba a couple said that we needed to try this place. Oh my gosh. What a find. The food was amazing. The atmosphere was excellent. Right on the water. The music playing was the best. Whenever we are back in Aruba we will make sure to make Pinchos one of stops.

    Stopped in for a quick drink and appetizer on our way to dinner and it was gorgeous. Great setting especially during the night. Would have loved more time to have had dinner there one night.

👍 Location is great. We ordered a plate of nachos, vegetarian style. The nachos were good. How can you mess up nachos? The margaritas were okay too. Service was good. The view is perfect, especially when you sit along the railing. A great place to grab a drink, especially when you are getting of...
