We ordered from the Valenties menu it was a lovely choice. After our starters where wondering why our mains where taking big so long to arrived. The manager came over & apologised & overhead us free oysters & a Drink. This was a nice touch which he didn't need to do. We had a very enjoyable evening & meal all the staff where very pleasant friendly & helpful.

Unfortunately the staff were run off their feet and only towards the end of my visit was other staff starting. Table's were full, and the staff did as much as possible however waiting times for drinks and food could have been more efficient if more staff were on duty. The staff themselves couldn't do any more for you when you got their attention and often apologised as they knew it was too long. I would only recommend to a friend based on others experiences.

Having booked through Open Table for the first time, on arrival at the Pelican we were greeted by a very nice lady who led us to our pre-booked table with a window seat as requested. Wonderful view of the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum. Service was excellent as was the menu and great food was served. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone who appreciates good food and good service and good atmosphere.....

Very accommodating when I had to keep increasing my booking number (organising these get togethers are always difficult) and the service, ambience and drinks where all excellent. I would say it was odd that there where no Christmas crackers/ festive décor but that is OK. Everyone was very happy with the starters and the desserts however the mains were a little disappointing for most. The salmon sauce had curdled, the turkey dish was so so and the venison dish had no form of vegetable with it(otherwise a delicious meal)! The bavette steak was amazing though. We where allowed to use our table for a long time and that is greatly appreciated. Overall the experience was very good.

We went to the Pelican not knowing a great deal about the place.There was only one table occupied and they looked as if this was a Pitstop before going home after a days shopping. The waitress was lively,although the food choice was very limited yet very well cooked.If you fancy a quick late burger lunch about 3.30 without the atmosphere of say Butchers Grill then this is the place for you. Well cooked food,lovely staff,great prices but no atmosphere and if you like to dress up then pick somewhere else.

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely meal on our anniversary. Service, quality etc. were all 5 star. We found the music just a little loud, personal opinion.
