A hidden gem. We came here from out of town for our anniversary. We had many meals in the area but this one was the best. I love the ambience the food and the service was great and a bonus was the singer they had playing the music and singing for the night. Go visit you will not be disappointed. read more

The menu is always exciting. The service is excellent. Our group had 27 diners and they all raved. We will be back soon! Thank you! read more

Amazing service and really great food. Started with the eggplant rollatini which is a MUST TRY. Also had the burrata which was prepared perfectly. Split the vodka pasta and Greek salad. It's cool that they have gluten free pasta too. I would probably not do the vodka pasta again-wasn't my fave. But the lamb was delicious as were all the other main dishes. read more

I came here for a networking /holiday party. We had the outdoor area which was very nice as it was cooler temps that night. I had a spicy pineapple margarita, which had a really nice flavor. We ordered a bunch of appetizers, fried calamari, coconut shrimp and pizzas. They have some unique thin crust pizzas, we had the shrimp scampi pizza and the white clam pizza. I really liked the white clam pizza, it's made with truffle oil, mozzarella and ricotta. I look forward to coming ba k here read more

We had such a great dinner at Pelican Cafe! The vibe is super cozy and the whole staff was beyond friendly from the second we walked in. They start you off with complimentary bread and hummus which was so good. The food quality is impressive and the portions are huge. We ordered a ton: the burger, linguini with clams, and rigatoni bolognese were all delicious, and the flatbread and calamari were perfect for the table. Also, the chips, salsa, and guac were amazing. Everything paired perfectly with the drinks, which were 10/10. I also really appreciated that they didn't rush us. They were super intentional with the timing of when the appetizers and mains came out so we could actually enjoy each course. Such a solid spot, we'll definitely be back! read more

Well we went back for brunch- I'm still not disappointed!!! Eggs Benedict w filet mignon - so yummy!!! Nice bottle of Sancerre too! We sat outside which is lovely and shaded and set far enough back from the street to be pleasant. The service here is so attentive!!! They were offering home made donuts. I think I goofed by not accepting!! read more

Pelican Cafe was quite delightful for dinner. The outdoor seating really proved to be a treat. The weather was perfect. It wasn't overly crowded and we weren't right up on the live music like they were in the dining room. We got to enjoy it with the doors open from a distance and not feel encroached upon. We didn't know that there was live music and it was actually fantastic. I enjoy jazz. The musicians were super talented and they played the often forgotten hit the year of the cat by Al Stewart. That made my night and tickled me. I love that song lol and it came out way before I was born. The food was pretty good. My only complaints were that the carpaccio was super small for what they're charging. And the sauce on the meatball dish was a bit sweet. But everything else was good. The wedge was really good. The swordfish was good, no complaints. It wasn't like special and fantastic, but it was good. The chicken piccata or franchise (I don't know which one it was), but it was enjoyed by the person who ordered it so was the fillet. The star of the night was that cinnamon gelato! Holy moly, not only did it elevate the tiramisu it was just perfect. It was perfect cinnamon gelato and I wish I could have it every day lol. On top of a very nice dining experience and atmosphere, the service was fantastic. The young man who was our waiter did a great job and he made sure that we had everything we needed throughout the entire meal. I had only been there for breakfast in the past, but it very well may be a regular choice for dinner in the future. Another review giving it to you, Straight No Chaser. Enjoy! read more

Enjoyed very much Monday evening. We found by accident and glad we did. Cute place and great staff. Josiah was great but so were all others. And great food, generous portions as well. The Black Truffle Burrata was great and could easily have satisifed four people, it was just two of us. The Veal Chop was devine. Would say a true hidden gem though apparently with a local following as not aware of any advertising. We were the only tourists. So much the better. read more

What a nice restaurant to walk into indoor and outdoor seating with white tablecloth tables , very clean atmosphere which I loved and greeted at the door with a smile .My waitress Rylee was very knowledgeable about the menu and explained everything as this was my first time here with my husband for brunch . As there were no appetizers on the menu , but the waitress did come out with 2 donuts they put on every table which was nice . I ordered chicken quesadilla and a pumpkin pie martini and my husband a blue cheese burger with onion rings and an egg drop soup ? which he did ask for calm chowder that was written on a black board for special for the day , we did mention it and my waitress apologized . I love the martini but the chicken quesadilla was very bland no seasoning to the chicken and a green sauce on side I didn't like. There wasn't much chicken inside . On the other side of the table my husband said his burger was tasty and onion rings . To me overall experience with food wasn't what I expected. This place was very pricey. read more

Another wonderful dinner last night at the Pelican Cafe. It's one of our go-to places with friends as well as our date night location as it does not disappoint even the fussiest eater. The service and food are top notch. If you've not been there recently they have expanded their regular menu and also have a pre-fix dinner menu with selections which are well represented from meat, fish and pasta offerings. Our waiter always remembers us and makes knowledgable suggestions from the menu and wine lists. Consider this when you want to dine in a pleasant white cloth setting that checks all the boxes: inside or outside seating, ambiance, great service, convenient location, ample parking, entertainment and most of all the really good food! There are different offerings each night of the week worth considering. Take it from a foodie and compare your Riverhouse, 1000 North, Waterway, Seasons 52, Seminole Grill experience and you'll chose the Pelican for it's more intimate setting and accommodating service. read more

It has been here forever, but so many people forget about it. The food is always on point. They do a great breakfast and brunch. They also bring out fresh homemade donuts in the am! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. You have a nice view across the park to the intracoastal. Enjoy! read more

Great dinner all around! Party of 8 and we were treated very nicely. Food was outstanding. Look eating outdoors.

Had a most wonderful dinner this past Saturday. Have been going for years , just moved into Nautilus. Went with relatives who are restaurant owners . They were thrilled with the choice of Pelican . Friendliness of staff added to the warm ambience and quality of meals . My spinach salad and short ribs were delicious. read more

We had an amazing dinner here. They have an outdoor patio area where qe were seated, which was lovely. Our server, Alex, was very attentive and professional. We had the special, which was shrimp scampi with spinach and mushroom, with pasta purses. Do delicious! Also, had the rigatoni bolognese which is always a hit. For dessert we have the pineapple upside down cake. It is served warn with whipped cream. Omg, loved it! The food was really good and the atmosphere is wonderful. They had an entertainer who was fabulous and really engaged the diners. Great restaurant! read more

We had a very mixed experience - everything except the food was great. The service was exceptional. Everyone, from the hostess to our server, Abraham - assisted by Josaih - was terrific. They came back frequently to check on our meals, made nice suggestions and were all friendly. The restaurant is attractive. While the Saturday night noise level was high, we could still have a comfortable conversation. The tables were close together, but still left comfortable spacing. The chairs were a bit low for me but, at well over six feet tall, that is a frequent issue. That leaves the food. In a word ... meh. Both chicken dishes in our party were overcooked. The Chicken Milanese was almost cremated. It was promptly replaced but even that was overcooked and tasteless. Moreover, the salad from the first, burnt offering, was simply transferred to its replacement - so it was already wilted when served. The Chicken Parmigiana was overcooked almost as badly. I am a sucker for Sunday Sauce. The Pelican's was served with a tasty sausage, two very nice meatballs and a dollop of creamy ricotta. The pasta was well cooked. The fly in the ointment was the sauce. It was not a rich and flavorful red sauce that had been simmered all day, but a thin, relatively tasteless red sauce. Overall, high marks for service but a really disappointing meal. read more

The service was very attentive and kind. The food was delicious. I had a basic scrambled eggs, potatoes and toast but it was well cooked and hit the spot! The best was the complimentary homemade donuts for the table. Absolutely delicious. We got a red velvet and blueberry donut. Cute location with a great outdoor patio. Will definitely be back for breakfast again read more

We've been patrons for many years and have been pleased with our experiences. We noticed changes immediately with the valet parking which is a plus. Parking used to be challenging with a small area. Now arriving is a breeze. Upon entry, we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table. Our server, Riley, was attentive and friendly. The manager checked on us (and every table) several times. We both ordered off of the evening specials menu. I had fresh flounder and opted for francese preparation. It was as big as a plate! It was buttery, lightly lemony, and melted on the palate. The best I have ever tasted. Hubby ordered the salmon Mediterranean and loved it. Neither of us had room for dessert but look forward to our next visit! It was a pure pleasure! read more

Been here many times over the years.Surprised tonight that a reservation was easy to get and when we got there there place was half empty ! The meals we ordered were excellent ,BUT, we realized that the prices are about 25% higher than last year, when the new owner took over. So while it was good, there comes a point when $48 for duck and $44 for filet of sole is a bit over the top. read more

Hostess service is awful. Really liked this place and Evelyn was great the past few times we've been for brunch but today was awful. (Server and food were fine but it just started out bad from the get go. ie the hostess) I guess walk in's are just not acceptable. I'm sure we can find another nice brunch place where we feel welcome. read more

Let's see...I really thought I was going to LOVE this place but after all the great reviews from this place I was excited to try it, but I was underwhelmed. The service was great, the food was good but not great. Everything was fresh and came to the table hot but nothing exceptional in my opinion. Maybe I should have gotten something else but I wasn't overly impressed by anything I ate. I would come back to try other things but this brunch was just okay. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place with great food and excellent customer service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Delicious food with fresh ingredients.

Great food and great entertainment. The service was efficient and professional. There a good number of tables but it is a bit tight. I highly recommend reservations. They accept local dines coupons - but even without it - the prices are reasonable / par. If you're looking for a tasty dinner with lots of menu options and piano / singing entertainment - look no further. You won't be disappointed. read more

Starting with the home made donuts, everything is delicious. The service is friendly and prompt. This is our favorite breakfast restaurant.

We had an excellent dinner here with friends/cousins on a busy Saturday night. It was their restaurant choice and we are so glad they introduced us to this wonderful place -- as we never would have found it on our own. They'd made reservations early. And they are highly recommended as the restaurant is very popular. Amazingly, they serve 3 meals a day. We got to meet the owner, as well, who is a constant friendly presence. The tables are fairly close together, so you'll get to know your neighbors. And it can get a bit noisy, but the food makes it worth it. The venue is an old house. The starter bread basket was so good, we all decided to skip an appetizer/salad, save room for dessert, and go right to the entree. They had quite a few appealing nightly specials in addition to the regular menu. Two in our group chose the special snapper that night -- one had it piccata style and one had it Francese style. Another entree choice on the menu was their encrusted sole. I chose their crispy duck a l'orange. You could adjust your side choices. My duck was excellent, perfectly cooked, and came with wild rice and seasonal vegetables. Portions were large; all was delicious. Everyone raved about their individual dishes. For dessert, the guys shared a pineapple upside down cake. No crumbs were left. The gals each enjoyed a very good frothy cappuccino. I'd love to come back and try more items on their menu -- it was not easy choosing just one entree -- and maybe even try their breakfast some time. The only question is how soon we can return. ;) read more
