Quick and excellent service. We came October 13th around 5 30 in the evening for our 1st wedding anniversary, We loved the food and we had a great time!
Happy anniversary! Thank you for choosing to celebrate with us at Pelican Grill, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable dinner soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
My only complaint with this establishment our the prices for their wine's & cocktails. Yes it's a resort town etc but $15 for a screwdriver or $18-$22 for a glass of wine is a little high. But if you're not drinking booze I highly recommend this place

We had a wonderful meal while celebrating our anniversary. Armin was an excellent waiter and checked on us at just the right frequency. I had the filet and my wife had the salmon. All food was cooked perfectly and was served hot. It came right from the kitchen. Overall excellent food and service.
Happy anniversary! We're so honored you chose to celebrate at Pelican Grill and appreciate you leaving such thoughtful feedback about your dinner. Please know I've passed along your kind words on the filet and salmon to our culinary team, and we hope to see you again soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
I love this place. After a tough travel day I showed up in yoga pants and was treated with just as much care as prior visits when I was dressed for fine dining. Service was outstanding, food and wine wonderful (beet salad the best I’ve had) and ambiance amazing. Enjoyed a wonderful relaxing dinner watching the sunset.
Thank you for visiting Pelican Grill and taking the time to share this kind feedback with us! I'm proud to read our team helped turn your day around, and we look forward to welcome you back for more beet salad and sunset views very soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary with our 2 young kids and our parents. We have always wanted to try this restaurant. The Valet staff were friendly and fast. The hostess greeted us and were seated within 5-10min. We requested to be seated outside. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Even though the chefs were busy they still acknowledged guests as they walked by. The restaurant was very clean and very comfortable. The musician was a nice touch and added nicely to the Sunday brunch ambiance. We ordered the mahi sandwich, French toast, Caesar salad with salmon, and the Fish and Chips style entree. The food was presented nicely and flavorful. We will definitely be back again - hopefully next time just my husband and I and will experience the whole resort.
Congratulations on 10 years! Thank you for choosing Pelican Grill for your milestone celebrations and taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback with us. I'm so glad you all enjoyed a memorable brunch together, and we look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
Great food, great location, great service. Weather was great too on outside patio. Only occasional problem was deafeningly loud cars racing past - probably a weekend occurrence?.
Thank you for visiting Pelican Grill this weekend! We appreciate your thoughtful review and hope to welcome you back to Pelican Hill soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
Place was dead on a beautiful Friday evening. Waited over an hour for food... service was slow. Place could use some updating.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your candid feedback with us and hope to welcome you back to Pelican Hill for a much-improved visit in the future. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Fabulous for lunch, we ate on the terrace facing the air show. That was an extra plus. Many great items on the menu, but not confusing. Not enough self-parking spaces.
Thank you for visiting Pelican Grill this weekend, Cielo! Please know that for our guests' convenience, complimentary valet parking is available for you. I'm glad to read you enjoyed lunch, and we hope to welcome you back to Pelican Hill soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
The Chilean seabass is my favorite. It's very moist and flavorful upon the black forbidden rice.
Thank you for visiting Pelican Grill! The Chilean Sea Bass is one of our most popular dishes, and I'm glad to read you enjoyed it as well! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
Still a personal favorite if only for the ambiance. The view is breathtaking and my guests always love that part. Today however, the food fell short of its usual uninspiring effort. It was approaching inedible. I was borderline embarrassed to have suggested the location for brunch. A small investment in better food would make this place so much better.
Hello JP, I appreciate your candid feedback and apologize that your recent visit to Pelican Grill fell so short of your expectations. I did want to share that Pelican Hill released their new Fall/Winter menu the week following your meal with us, and we hope to welcome you back for a much-improved return soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
We took my Dad to brunch as part of a “thank you” for staying with our daughter while we had to travel. It did not disappoint! We had a lovely view of the marina that we enjoyed while having brunch. The food was really good, and the service was excellent. We will definitely go back again.
Thank you for thinking of Pelican Grill for this special meal with your dad! I'm glad to read you enjoyed a lovely visit together and hope to welcome you back very soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill

My parents and I had an amazing time at the Grill. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. Since we were celebrating an anniversary, the Manager and even the head chef came by to say congratulations. My mother mentioned she felt like the only one there and thus felt special.
I believe are server name was Brian and he was fantastic. He knew the menu very well and was very attentive.
We will be back!
Hi Courtney, It was a pleasure to be a part of your parents' anniversary celebrations! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback with us, and I'll be sure to share your kind words with Brian as well. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back soon!

The atmosphere is relaxing and beautiful with panoramic views of the sunset. Food is always consistent. Two of our guests ordered the double pork chop which was a little fattier than usual. Other than that, it was 5 stars! The shrimp cocktail appetizer is always a standout.
Gayle, Thank you for having dinner at Pelican Grill this weekend! I appreciate your thoughtful feedback and have passed along your comments on the pork chop to our culinary team as well. We hope to welcome you back to Pelican Hill soon! Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Burleigh, Thank you for your kind words about Brian! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed a wonderful dinner, and we hope to welcome you back for another sunset dinner soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill
2 servers poured water on the table and neither cleaned it up. Only half of the specials were shared and I had to ask for the others after over hearing them from another table. The caesar salad was awful - it's hard to screw up a caesar salad.
I had an incredible experience at the Grill last year, but this time was very disappointing.
Kim, I apologize that your return to Pelican Grill fell so short of the first visit you enjoyed with us, and I'm disheartened by the service missteps you describe. Please know I've addressed your concerns with our leaders and shared your feedback on the Caesar salad with our culinary team as well. We truly appreciate your insight and hope to regain your trust for a much-improved return soon. Warm regards, Tom Donovan Managing Director, The Resort at Pelican Hill

Had a bday party table of 8 women. Bad waiter. Would take off and not come back for a long time. Vey slow getting our food and most were salads.Took forever to get check and some women needed to pay and get back to work. Valet service was too slow. Never seen it like that on a weekday before. Not a good experience yesterday. I have been here so many times before and had good service. Don't know what happened yesterday.
Ms. Dal Porto, I apologize your lunch fell so short of the visits you've enjoyed in the past - especially on an occasion like a birthday!

The patio seating was nice with perfect weather . The waiters were attentive. Next table had a big dog and I did not appreciate that while I was dining.
