Oranjestad · Seafood, Grill · $$$ (estimate)

Tables sit over the water, which gives dinner a different feel from a beachfront room. The restaurant is a frequent choice for weddings and rehearsal dinners, and it suits group dinners as well.

Start with Aruban fish cakes and pineapple-curry mayo. Skewers include a mixed meat version with bourbon barbecue glaze and a beef and shrimp surf-and-turf. Pan-fried mahi comes with Creole sauce, and grouper is served with a saffron seafood stew. The vegan Mediterranean couscous gives plant-based diners a full main course.

For a rehearsal dinner or a group, give the full party size and the occasion when you book. You pay a flat $20 service fee online by PayPal or card, and the meal is paid at Pinchos.
