    In this case, you do not get what you pay for. Can't believe they're asking $85 for all you can eat lobster dinner. I waited in line for over an hour to get over cooked lobster and then there were so many people that I was lucky to get one and a half lobsters. The rest of the food was mediocre and definitely not worth the $85 to serve myself at a buffet. Cocktails were over priced. Only saving grace was the nice waitress. Stay away from Pelican Bay and tell all your friends. This is definitely a tourist trap.

    It was nice but they sat us next to the pool so the noise / splashing from playing kids was distracting.

    The service and food was excellent. The service was well timed . Attentive but not rushed. We are staying at the resort. The menu had a lot of variety . My husband had the fish of the day (red snapper)and I had grilled lobster. Both were excellent and very large servings.. We got there a little before 7 and got to enjoy happy hour . I had the watermelon martini . I enjoyed it a lot . It was our wedding anniversary and a celebratory dessert was brought to us . We enjoyed dinner a lot last night. We Will definitely be returning for more meals .

    The deck surrounded by the hotel and pools is beautiful. Our waiter was so sweet and fun. The food was just okay. The "award winning " ribs were fatty, and without much meat. The coleslaw was way over mayoed. The jerk style "airplane chicken " was good but not close to the delicious jerk chicken we had for about 1/3 of the price at fish fry. Although they have happy hour drinks, my husband's mule was not great. I think the ginger beer they used was substandard. My watermelon martini was much better. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

    Started off quiet and romantic (1730-1900), then adjacent bar area got noisy. Food and service were excellent; nice layback vibe but understated classy as well. Very nice garden setting with beautiful plants.

    New year's eve buffet. The buffet was nice for fish lovers but should have had a salad bar or other non-fish choices as appetizers! They serve the meat with a lot of fat, it could have been simple to discard the fat before serving it

    We went to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We noted that on our reservation. We arrived 10 minutes late for our reservation, the restaurant had few customers, and we were greeted by the Maître d' and were reprimanded for being late. Nothing was ever mentioned about our anniversary. We usually arrive to a friendly greeting, not a reprimand. The waiter was excellent, the food was excellent as well, however the rudeness of the Maître d' put a huge damper on what otherwise would have been an excellent dinner. Why can't people be nice?

    We arrived a few minutes early for our open table reservation. Staff was not attentive. We could see that the other diners already seated looked concerned still holding menus and not getting any food or service. When we finally got seated after standing in a fairly empty restaurant at the hostess table, we asked about the Wednesday night special on the menu which was the whole reason to come to pelican bay. We were informed that lobster was not available due to weather some other excuse which didn’t make sense. We assessed the whole vibe/situation and the. immediately left the restaurant. Maybe this is an off-season service problem, but I would not recommend this restaurant.

    We had a fantastic dinner here on a Friday night. I ordered the jerk chicken and it was delicious. My husband got the ribs and raves about how tender and tasty they were. Our friends got lobster and lamb and both got rave reviews! Service was a bit slow but we’ve come to expect that on the islands! Location is next to the pool but there was no one in it when we dined. Overall, beautiful, delicious dinner. Highly recommend.
