Party of 9 and party of 3 we all had lunch same day. Service was ok but noise made service communication awkward. Only a couple of the various meals were “good”. Several, salads in particular were very disappointing. View so nice made the day pleasant but had higher expectations for the price point. Hostesses, valet and server all friendly and helpful.

Great views & food , great service as well

Seated on the balcony. Nice view of the Pacific. The food was exceptional. The service was professional and timely.

Beautiful location, lovely view. The restaurant is very pretty. The outdoor space was comfortable and spacious.
The service was ok. Coffee not refilled, we had to ask. Had to ask twice for sweetener and frankly, it wasn't that busy. Not many choices for vegetarians. I had the chicken and bacon taken off the cobb salad. Salad menu was weak. My husband loved his pizza. It is truly a beautiful setting and that outweighed everything else. I would go back again and would recommend the Pelican Grill to friends.

Wonderful service and delicious food. Ambiance and views above and beyond

The food waas excellent. I like the salads with lots of fresh, quality green leaf vegetables like spinach, endive, kale, and lettuce.

Personal and professional service! Pelican Hill presents a delicious and beautiful culinary experience. The spectacular setting, the Venetian rooms and veranda, the spacious seating and unhurried atmosphere- all create a unique and sophisticated dining venue - but with an informal golf club flair. Truly, we love this Newport Beach destination for lunch and dinner!!!

Wonderful evening!!

The Pelican Grill in the Pelican Hill resort is a fabulous five star deal: they offer free parking and stunning sunsets. Arrive early with sunglasses and try to get a table on the terrace facing the Pacific sunset. Food and wine prices are very reasonable considering that you are in one of the most luxurious resorts south of LAX.

Beautiful view and amazing food all recommended by our great server Mehdi. 100% will be returning

I chose this place because of the view. It's sad because the food does not match the view or ambience. I wanted to love the place. We ordered a total of 6 dishes and only one dish was mediocre. Overly salted. The pizza was so soggy. If you held the slice of pizza, it could bend and all the cheese fall off. I also order the chicken with grits and the chicken was rubbery and slimy. I didn't like that. Grits is grits and even that was off in taste. The beef short rib sauce was so salty. The steak was the only plate that was decent. The cesar salad was wilted lettuce. I prefer a crispy romaine. The food was not good at all so please don't expect anything. The staff was so nice though. That's the only thing that really saved me from complaining.

Paige did an awesome job and we truly enjoyed ourselves

A very nice and relaxing place to visit an have an informal lunch with a friend or loved ones!!

Celebrated my husband's 70th birthday for lunch and sat on their outside terrace. Beautiful weather added to the wonderful view. Very relaxing. Bread basket had rye and pretzel rolls. We liked the rye. Husband had the pork chop which he loved. They substitute the mash potatoes for vegetables, thank you!! I had the kale salad with added chicken. It was very tasty too. I ordered they prosecco which was very nice. For dessert we had the key lime pie which was great and not too sweet), gelato so yummy, I picked pistachio (my fav), vanilla and passion fruit, all homemade and they gave my husband a s'mores like cake on the house for his birthday, very thoughtful! Our waiter was James C. He was fantastic. An added note: My husband left his wallet in the car and the valet person brought it to the hostess. When my husband went out to get it, he kindly walked my husband to get it. Very impressive!

Vacation with family, great service great food great view.

The food was absolutely delicious. One of the best lunches I've ever had. The waitress and wait staff were attentive and met all are desires and requests. They went above the call of duty.

The lady in the front desk was not nice to help us set up the table.

Beautiful view from patio
Great food @ price I would expect from pelican grill. Best attentive waiterJames

We celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary at the Pelican Hill pool cabanas and Pelican Grill. The service was VIP. The short ribs and the steak frites were delicious. The guitarist at the pool was fun. We had a great time as a family. The only thing that wasn't properly made was the Bombolini but after such a lovely day, it didn't matter to us.

Love this place! Great atmosphere and gorgeous views! Superior service, delectable gourmet food and supreme beverage menu with all your fav’s! We enjoyed our time and meal while sipping our fav Champs! Veuve Clicquot! It is now our goto weekly!

Staff did everything to accommodate our toddler and made our day !

Thank you very much for an unforgettable experience. We have had an amazing time. The table that we were assigned was the best of the best and make a big difference. I am really thankful. This was my first time in a restaurant after the pandemic. My mom just came form Mexico to eat at the pelican so I am very thankful for the table and the great service. The ambience was incredible as the service and of course the food was delicious. THANK YOU!!!

Amazing Chilean Sea Bass!!

I have been to PH Grill many times and have to say that this visit was very disappointing. We had to wait a very long time to order. Once served the food was not prepared very well. One finished we again had to wait for the bill. Overall our experience was not good this visit.

Food was not as special as the view of the ocean at sunset. The salmon was pedestrian and the spare rib lacked in sophisticated flavor…all in all, perfunctory food.

Great food, lovey interiors, amazing outside views. Friendly staff. Great if you’re staying at the hotel.

Our server Breanna was delightful-
Food was amazing - great service

The food and service were amazing! We sat on the patio and watched the sun go down over the ocean. Nice way to celebrate our anniversary.

Amazing all around

Mehdi, the manager/supervisor and the hostess were all awesome

We always have an excellent time and enjoy the food and atmosphere

Delicious food and the most scenic views. Such a beautiful establishment. Thank you for the customer service and attentiveness

We had a great time celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. We were seated outside and had an amazing view. The staff was great and they truly made dinner more like an event than a meal. We will be back.

FABULOUS! Great Venue, Great Food, Great Service. Kind of a "best kept secret" if you have not dined here before. You will definitely want to go back.

All good-no issues-will
return!

I brought my friends to Pelican Hills with me and they said they will be a regular customer. They loved the experience and me and my wife also loved it.

Wonderful view awesome food! We had a special dining experience with our son and his gf… 18 month anniversary (I didn’t know that was a

Service was outstanding! Ate on the patio, which was crowded at a Sunday lunch, lots of buzz. Food was very good; a straight forward menu of starters, salads, pizzas and sandwiches. We had the Scotch egg (very good) and side of smoked mushrooms (bland) to start, then the turkey BLT (best we've ever had) and the Bianca pizza (which had minimal proscuitto and arugala). Overall a fine experience and we will be back.

Pleasant setting and quality food - very comfortable dinning experience!
