By far the best view of the sunset on Aruba. Yes, this includes the other beach front restaurants. Still the best view. Food was really good. Steak was good, fish was good, bread was good. Make sure that you grab reservations for this place. Close to sunset will be crowded unless you reserve a table. Will go back. Stick around... More

This restaurant is located on a pier out on the water. Needless to say its the perfect atmosphere (if you're into water & sunset views). The service was exactly what fine dining should be. The food was not only delicious but served so beautifully. It's definitely worth the trip, and the money!

Pinchos does not disappoint. What a great meal we had at the bar (no reservations). Victor was as attentive a waiter as he was a bartender. David and I enjoyed Chicken and apple chorizo, stuffed pork loin and the red snapper. Especially good were the drinks. I started with a vodka drink that had muddled cucumber, lemon, ginger, and sugar.... More

Dinner was delicious, the flan/cake was surprisingly delicious. The ambiance was perfect. It was a perfect night, from the staff,to the musician, to the sunset

Pinchos is set on a small pier making it a romantic & atmospheric location to enjoy great food & watch the sun go down. We had a 6pm seating which allowed us to watch the sun setting and see Pincho lit up in the dark Aruba night. Our waiter was attentive & knowledgable & the food was Devine. The Red... More

This was my first time to eat at Pinchos Grill and it will not be my last I cannot wait to go back to Aruba next year to dine here again. The food was excellent and it felt like you were dining on a yacht. Great choice.

We had such a wonderful dining experience on our trip to Pinchos. The food was good but the service was even better! Raul was such a pleasure and joy to be served by. He took great sunset photos of my husband and I and gave us memories to last a lifetime. We will definitely return to Aruba in the future... More

I'll start with the dessert- the Tres Leches was the highlight of my meal. I barely had room after our fabulous dinner but it was well worth the calories! Save some room. Try the Dark Rum Infused Blue Cheese Tenderloin Skewers to start and the fresh fish for dinner. Yum!
