   Birthday celebration and Pelican Grill did not disappoint! Started with burrata with blistered tomatoes-different presentation and wonderful with the roasted garlic too. Just needed more toast and the waiter easily took care of it. Wedge salad delicious and then the main entree. We initially thought there would be more steak options as shown the the website menu, but was told menu recently changed. However we both then decided to have the ribeye steak. It was prepared to perfection. I always seem to get my steak too rare or too well done for medium, but it was right on! And the other steak done med rare and excellent. Side dishes of asparagus and oyster mushrooms complimented our meal. We chose glass of Merlot from Argentina and it was excellent choice for the meal.

   Reservation was @11:30 Sunday….took forever to get seated. Then NO food came out til more than an hr later, including the complimentary bread. Kitchen was super slow and last 4 dishes came out when the rest of our table finished eating their entree. It was TERRIBLE experience. Ended up paying the $811 bill by 3pm. Totally did not expect to waste more than half our day with “lunch”

    Excellent and professional dining service with their complementary valet parking. Their complimentary self-parking structure is a few steps away. Going in and out of this hotel restaurant is a swift. A quick bite after round of golf or just taking family, friends, or customers for VIP dining. Their floor heating outdoor patio area is perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze when the weather isn't warm enough! A nice and luxurious venue to hang out and dining for OC residents.

    The was good. The choices for people who don’t eat red meat or cannot have alcohol in their food, the choices were limited, however. The service was great, despite getting one order wrong (not a big deal for us), and the atmosphere was friendly with a good ocean view. It was a little pricey, so we have to limit our dining there for special occasions. Overall, very pleased!

    What a wonderful afternoon lunch for 3. I requested a quiet table and food to be prepared without salt (one member of our party is hard of hearing and has CHF). Both requests were accomodated without hesitation and we enjoyed our time. Our waiter was very attentive as were the hostess, valet and management who checked on us. I highly recommend this restaurant for its ambiance and quality of food and service.

    Classic casual elegance - comfortable seating, well spaced tables, quiet in color palette, lighting and sound control (but with LED table lamps that made reading the menu easy). It is very expensive ($70 for an 8 oz. filet mignon, but it was superbly cooked and presented nicely with a puree of cauliflower). The waiter mislead us a bit on portion sizes. We could and should have split the beet salad, and the size of the add-on lobster tail was plenty. We wound up bringing the second one home. The rigatoni carbonara was creatively presented with a just-poached egg atop, intended to be broken and stirred into the pasta by the diner. That was not described in the menu, and this mostly vegetarian gal would not have ordered. They removed the egg for me and gave me some grated cheese to finish dressing the pasta. No room for dessert! Staff was very attentive. Would definitely dine here again.

    For some time we have been"curious" about the "Easter Brunch" at The Resort at Pelican Hill. This year we had a honored guest who seemed to be quite familiar with the resort. On this day, Easter encompassed an egg hunt on the lawn and there was an additional venue at the Coliseum Grill (view of the pool and private entrance). This Sunday, the Masters (PGA) Tournament was happening at the same time as the brunch. The majority of our party all "golfed" and watched intently. Easter at "The Pelican Grill" was not prosaic. Observed many "live action" stations like: Omelet, Hand Tossed Salad, Oyster on the Half Shell, Caviar, Cold Chilean Seafood Bar, and a Hand-crafted Dessert Extravaganza located "where the Captains Table" is. Great views as we watched the "win" by John Rahm. Given all the COVID19 repercussions, losses and tragedy afflicting many we knew, returning to the grill was a comfort to all those in our party. The lady in blue smiled often that day. Our server Montserrat had "delight" spilling into glasses and gave us a "care package" to take to a famished patron---who was sequestering. Thanks for making Easter 2023 special. I have taken a few photos, yet one must really be there for the "experience." Thanks to Mr. T and Lady L (I will keep it confidential). Someone wore a lovely blue hat and many compliments were heard. This venue was one Leonardo da Vinci may have enjoyed (if he were still breathing). Thanks to the Irvine Company and Mr. Bren for this memory. Valet was provided.
