We were there last night. The place is very charming and romantic, the staff was friendly and polite. Unfortunately we were not lucky with the quality of food, and we were sick all night. Hopefully it was just an accident ...

Unfortunately we didn't make reservations and weren't able to get a table with a view of the sunset. We both got the pan searted grouper and it was delicious. Portions were small compared to other restaurants. Had room for desert and got the chocolate ganache cake which was out of this world. Our waitress was a doll and so friendly to talk to. Will definitely go back.

Last minute decision to go here for dinner so we didn't have a reservation when we arrived around 7ish and the place was full. We weren't overly picky and decided to just eat at the bar which they said was no problem.

Had some wonderful skewers of tenderloin and shrimp along with a couple of their salads. Very good and friendly service at the bar, too! Love the view of downtown over the water.

We have dined at Pinchos 6 times in the past 3 years. We never visit the Island without at least one visit to Pinchos. The owner Anabela is a doll. I worked with her last year to plan a post vow renewal reception for a friend and it worked out perfectly.

The food at Pinchos is very simple yet elegant. Everything is cooked on the outdoor grills so don't go there expecting ultra gourmet food. They do excel at what they make though...which are tasty light dishes. They make great drinks. The ambiance cannot be beat and the views are fantastic. Hands down favorite restaurant on the island (no the most gourmet food but for the overall experience).

Atmosphere is what brings most here - we would guess. This was our second dinner here on different trips and both meals were average for the price. Not bad yet not noteworthy. Too many exceptional choices to consider a third dinner here. Add $40 for the cab ride from the high rises (which we would not mind paying for a memorable meal)

First went to Pincho's about 5 years ago on the high recommendation of a relative to works for a major hotel chain on Aruba. We were told it's a place where "locals" love to dine. It continues to be a friendly place that serves excellent food (the pork is to die for!!). The co-owner Anabella is very personable and engaging. When I fouled up our reservation arrival time by an hour she and the general manager did everything they could to get us a table rather than our alternative -- eating at the bar. And with this restaurant on the water (on a pier) you can get the best views of cruise ships coming and leaving as well as airplanes arriving and departing. We would not think about going to Aruba without at least one night at Pincho's!

It was great to be back in my wife and daughters favourite restaurant in Aruba. Since the island is so full of great eating establishments, it is also one of my favourites as well. Great atmosphere to go along with the chefs terrific area to prepare our dinners. The owner even took our daughter out on the dock to feed the fish on their pier after supper. A first class operation all the way that nobody should miss.

Picked this restaurant based on the reviews. Disappointed but glad to experience the view. Go for a drink. Bar is in the middle. Tables are on the perimeter. Not very child friendly. One meal option - mini-burgers of some kind. Really, in Aruba? Couldn't you have fish or shrimp option for children? So both of my children ordered off of the adult menu. The food was only fair. I ordered the shrimp skewer as I heard this was one of their better dishes. Everything was underseasoned. Shrimp were just OK - kind of dried out and overcooked to tell you the truth. Potato was completely tastless. We walked out of there after paying a hefty bill. Nice view, but just go for a drink. One positive was they did have either a performer or DJ playing music. We enjoyed that. The food was nothing special.
