"Instagrammers, take note: This open-air eatery is prime for watching—and snapping—the sunset. Every table is positioned on the pier, directly over Aruba’s shimmering waters. Come early to score a front-row seat for the evening spectacle, then stay late for the live music and light bites. The fish cakes are a must, but other popular dishes include pan-seared grouper with ginger and apricot sauce, and dark-rum-infused blue cheese tenderloin. If this chic lounge looks familiar, it’s because it made an appearance on The Bachelor ."
Food and service were beyond amazing. We booked our reservations for 6:00 p.m. and it was wonderful because we got to see the sunset and nighttime views from the dinner table. You absolutely need reservations here ESPECIALLY if you are a large group. Make sure that they also confirm your reservation otherwise it's not booked yet. Food was outstanding. One of the best restaurants I've been to in years. 10/10 and I will highly recommend to family and friends who go to Aruba.

First off, view was amazing. Secondly, the food was delicious. My only down side is the speed of service, and how little we see the wait staff. We were dining for almost 2.5 hours from when we sat down and ordered our first beverage until the check came. Like I said, food, view and atmosphere were top notch, but know it will not be a quick meal, and that’s fine, just a little different than I have personally experienced in Aruba.

Absolutely great place with beautiful and romantic views! We were walking by and saw this place. Decided to stop by for dinner. It was a very good choice! The food was delicious! The service was very good! We got red snapper and fish soup. The soup (seafood bisque) was one of the best! Fish was a great choice, too. Also, pan seard scallops were delicious! We had a great time! Definitely recommend! Great place for dinner to see a beautiful sunset and enjoy delicious and fresh food!!! Live singing 🎶 💕

5 stars is not enough. Everything about Pinchos is always excellent. Easy parking. Great scenery & service, and most importantly, great food. Ask Ron or one of the servers for a piece of bread to feed the fish swimming around on the dock where you sit.

This was such an incredible experience. Words can't describe how romantic this place is. We watched a couple get engaged right in front of us. The food was excellent and the servers were all very friendly.

Beautiful setup on the pier. Excellent food and service. Plenty of gluten free options on the menu. Public parking lot with plenty of parking.
The place is very popular so advance reservation is recommended.

Beautiful location and ambiance, you have terrific views of the airplanes arriving at the airport and sunsets. The food was pretty good as well.
Had dinner with a party of four. I had the tuna appetizer and scallops as my meal. Both of the appetizers seemed well priced until they arrived in very small portions. While my tuna was delicious, I was disappointed that an island establishment offered such a sparing seafood meal at the price we paid; I unfortunately felt the same in regard to the scallop appetizer that had three, small scallops. The rest of my party had a salad and two separate meals, a skewer of chorizo, steak, and chicken with beat mashed potatoes and asparagus, and a filet of beef. They enjoyed both of their well prepared and portioned meals.
I rated this establishment based on all of our opinions and chalked my experience up as my own bad choices. Perhaps Aruba does not have locally sourced scallops or tuna.
Hope this helps
