Marina Pirata - Oranjestad

This is the best seafood we had during our stay in Aruba, and not only that, but the staff and ambiance are nothing short of amazing. Make sure you add this to your Aruba bucket list!

Four of us went for happy hour one evening..and enjoyed it enough to make dinner reservations several days later for Table #1) A portion of the dining area is open and over the water. It 's covered for sun protection. It 's a relaxed atmosphere. The food was mostly seafood options. I had the shore platter. Clams, mussels, fish and a small lobster tail in a red , watery broth. It was tasty..but nothing special. The staff was extremely friendly and genuinely happy to serve us..it was disappointing however that a 10% gratuity was added to our bill and we weren 't told beforehand. Fortunately we noticed. Since the bill was difficult to read at night..we could have easily added additional gratuity on a fairly sizable bill. I 'm not a fan of this stealthy business practice.

Here rocks! Just on the water and way better than flying fishbone. the food was excellent and the service was even better. our new favourite place

Great service, beautiful sunset, and good food what's not to enjoy? The restaurant is a short walk from the apartment we had rented. Not crowded the evening we ate there, the seafood was fresh and excellent (and the beer ice cold). Service was great, prices reasonable, and how can you go wrong sitting over the water watching the fish below the lights?

As a sea food lover, you'll enjoy this place. Fresh fish all day long. Service was wonderful. And the fish frenzy in the water was fun to watch while eating
