From the moment we stepped into Pelican Hill, everything exceeded our expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. Every recommendation they made turned out to be a hit! The food? Simply phenomenal. We just tasted wild mushroom Risotto, which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Also Pizza was a standout—cooked to perfection and seasoned impeccably. Even the dessert, special for my husband birthday, was a masterpiece that we’re still dreaming about. It’s clear that Pelican Hill prioritizes quality, from the fresh ingredients to the thoughtful details in every dish. Whether you’re looking for a romantic evening or a celebratory gathering, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Beautiful, high ceiling room allowed my brother, 2 nephews and I to talk and laugh over salads and steaks. A bit expensive, but they waived corkage fees because of our large bill, so an enjoyable and elegant night

Pleasant atmosphere, but the dishes are very very salty! The saltiness covers all the taste.

Everything about our birthday luncheon for a special family member was first class. Our server, David, has great menu recommendations and went the extra mile, personally going to another building to bring us lap blankets when the cold breeze pcked up. The service, food, beautifully set table, and, of course, the view were top notch.

Made a reservation for 6pm. When arrived there wss no one at the hostess stand for quiet awhile.....OK.....but a manager walked by us waiting at an empty stand and said nothing. Waiting 5 or so minutes at the table for anyone to come by and offer water.......OK.....We were taking in the nice view on the patio. Long story short we did not get food for more that an hour and never got an apology. The check came 2 min after we requested it. Food was ok my pasta was not hot when I got it though. Based on our evening I do not recommend the Pelican Grill....disappointed 😒
