About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
The Pelican Nest Seafood Grill, opened its doors in 1994 and has been a favorite place for locals and tourists alike ever since.

Aruba’s favorite restaurant completely above the water offers many unique attributes; the spectacular view at any time of the day and especially during sunsets, the wide array of fresh seafood, a relaxing atmosphere, exclusive seating for dinner and the option while dining to feed the fish. Our Peruvian chef makes a famous and delicious fish ceviche.

The Caribbean, easy going yet professional atmosphere, the choice of fresh items on the menu, a courteous and friendly staff, the ever lasting sense of well-being and complete relaxation and enjoyment, what more could one require?

    Rosanne was our server. So pleasant and accommodating. We requested a corner table for us two and they honored that. Beautiful sunset. She offered us a discount by being Marriottt owners and our age. Delicious group grilled. Love it there.

    Great views. My fish Baja tacos were likely frozen prefab pieces of grouper, not fresh which was disappointing. Other people’s dinners were better. Very good service and great sunset views. But probably won’t be back for the food next trip to Aruba.

    Atmosphere, service and drinks were very good. Mahi mahi was overcooked, dry. Fish tacos were good. Definitely recommend this place for lunch which we did last year and enjoyed, but less so for dinner.

    We ate at Pelican grill 3 times during our 2-week stay in Aruba; once for lunch and twice for dinner. Each time we asked to sit at the end of the pier and were accommodated each time. Great atmosphere and great food. Can't wait to return next year!

    Very rustic building but don’t let that concern you. The food was outstanding! Service is somewhat slow but very cordial. You are in island time . Grouper fingers and smashed pineapple salad were our two appetizers and grilled red snapper and Oscar shrimp were entrees….all we terrific. We had a spectacular sunset as well. Highly recommend dining here
