Pelican's Nest Seafood & Grill Bar

We went there one evening as a last minute decision and got a table right at the front outside next to the water and watched the sunset and it was great. We loved it so much we back again before going home. The food was really good, wait staff attentive, and the view phenominal. I cant imagine anyone going there and not enjoying the whole experience and prices were very reasonable.

great view, food very good. what is this ta of 15% all about? bill states tip not included, but , what is the 15 % charge already added to the bill for? waiter says part goes to the owners and the remainder to the staff. we are clearly informed tip not included. i have eaten there on numerous times and have added 15-20 for tip, never having seen the 15% previously added to the bill. you end up paying 15% on top of the 15% tip. this is a rip off!

This place is so good that my wife and I ate there twice while we were in Aruba just a couple of weeks ago. Very good value also. Don't know how we missed it the all the times that we were there on vacation before.

Stopped here after a sunset cruise. We went in to satisfy a friends craving for battered shrimp and came out satisfied with all. We had GUILERMO for a server as well and he was very attentive. Recommend the Martin's Platter for a little of everything and very unique. Coconut shrimp was also very good. Prices were fairly comparable with what we found in the hotel district. Restrooms share the pier facilities which are OK but beware the light switch is on the outside so you better trust your groupmates :-) Overall a neat experience out on the water - dark when we got back but would be a beautiful view of the sunset. As added bonus you get to watch the party cruises return - we took bets on who was first to trip while trying to get back on the pier from the boats.

GREAT DINING. GUILERMO IS A WAITOR THERE AND IS THE BEST. ASK FOR HIM TO GET THE BEST SERVICE.

We have dinner here at least once each trip to Aruba. The food and service are great. The view at sunset is magnificant.

This is Aruba's hidden secret! We went there on a whim when at the last minute we couldn't get reservations anywhere else. It's not advertised a lot, but it is amazing! The service is fantastic, the food is unbelievably fresh, you can watch the chef in action, all the while you are sitting on a pier, the waves rolling in below you. It's small but they accommodated our party of 7 easily. Bring a wrap or shawl, after the sun sets it can get a little chilly if it's breezy! Definitely worth it, we'll be back next trip!

Staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant. Both my steak & lobster were over cooked and had little taste. The conch fritters were excellent. The Mahi Mahi and grouper were average.

I had the Mahi Mahi steak dinner and the tuna was excellent, very moist and melted in your mouth. Rice and veggies were cooked to perfection.

My wife had the Steak that was part of the Sunset cruise and dinner package. The steak was very tender and cooked to perfection. Very tasty and I enjoyed it as well.

Portions are sized perfectly, not too much and not too little, just right. Service was okay, nothing special but not bad either.

If in Aruba again, we'd definitely eat here again.

Last night 7 of us walked down the beach a short way from the Marriott Surf Club to enjoy a most pleasant night at the Pelicans Nest. We had various dishes, all wonderful! The Beef Tenderloins and Jumbo Shrimp were awesome (heads on the shrimp!) Great cocktails, excellent service and waitstaff. Fed the fish off the pier after eating...which was very much encouraged by the staff.
Too full for desert!
As for wheelchairs, a couple steps to get up onto the pier. As for the bathroom, well, I think the toilet flushes right into the ocean..I think so, so you place your "tissue" in a large waste basket next to toilet and this waste basket could surely be emptied more. Not stinky, just kinda icky having it right next to ya. But hey...its all good!
