We went due to one of the employees bumping into us at the hotel we were staying at and told us about this location, THANK You, sorry we didn't get your name! We ordered the snook in platter, it was not massively large, and my favorite was the crab cake, but I felt the price was quite hefty for what it was :/ They have a small salad bar, which reminded me ALOT of the one Pizza Hut used to offer, so yummy! They offer indoor seating and outdoor. Have a band playing outside. An outside dock for those that come after fishing or hanging out at the beach.

Good meal so this was an interesting evening . I had dinner with family. The food I ordered was…read moreribs. Very tasty. A lil zesty but not bad. The side were ok but I I did not eat them and planed on taking them home and did not get them so that sucks. Was hopefully going to eat the with the ribs the next day. Was very sad when. I got home and they were not in my box. We had fried green tomatoes. Very yummy. Not like my homemade ones but good. The corn breed was tasty. We ordered one order but I think he rang up two and brought out two but we not wanted one. They did screw up dinner. There were 2 of the same fish ordered cooked the same way. When it came out one looked not good and one looked good. One was not cooked properly and the other was ok. I will share pictures. We were here to celebrate a b and that was a nice experience. They also did remove the bad fish off the bill. So that was a plus. Over all this has good potential but needs a-lot of Work. And it was. So loud. It was hard to talk. Our server was super nice and tried to take care and of us. I would try this place again but they definitely need to work out some kinks. I heard it was a new place. So I guess be patient and it will all get ironed out.

I was visiting my dad and he wanted to take me to Isle of Capri for lunch. I'd never been, though…read moreI'd been to nearby Marco Island before. The restaurant he usually goes to was packed, but as it turns out, that was a blessing in disguise. Just around the bend we found Pelican Bend, and I'm so glad we did. The parking lot had a handful of cars, and there were a dozen or so people scattered around tables and the bar--definitely felt like a laid-back spot where locals hang out. The setup is great: several rows of Adirondack chairs, an outdoor bar, about 10-12 umbrella-covered tables, and a screened-in porch with another bar and additional seating. Relaxed, coastal, and inviting. Our waitress, Sydney, was absolutely lovely--friendly, kind, and honestly one of the best servers I've had in a long time. She was very personable and made several recommendations, all of which were spot on. We started with the calamari, which can be tricky, but this was cooked perfectly. My dad ordered the seafood chowder and a wedge salad and loved both. I ordered the grouper sandwich with a side wedge salad. Between the calamari and the salad, I was so full I ended up taking the sandwich home--and it was still delicious the next day after a quick spin in the air fryer. If you're in the Marco Island/Isle of Capri area, definitely give Pelican Bend a try. Great food, top-notch service, and thoughtful touches too--the sun kept shifting, and the hostess even came over to rotate the umbrella for us. A really wonderful experience.

The first day I took advantage of their crab legs special (Sundays and Mondays) which came with melted butter and fries and was delicious! The second time, we went for lunch again, and brought the fish we had caught on an excursion that morning (snapper, trout, whiting, I think). They can prepare it in multiple ways and we chose to do half fried and half grilled. It was delicious! Note that whenever we have visited, it has been for lunch so I can't speak to the evening atmosphere, but during the day it's very laid back, and often mostly locals. My husband declares it's the best grouper sandwich he's had, and he says that on every trip, even though we go to other restaurants.

This day and age there are so many different channels that are playing these games (TBS, TNT, TRUE, ESPN, ESPN 2, ABC, NBC et al) We ordered some food after being seated quickly. The menu had alot of choices. I had a burger and my wife ordered a salad. She had a glass of wine and I ordered a Coke. In waiting for our food, we noticed how big the place was. There is a seperation before the main bar and the dining room. Booths are lined on the outside of the room with table and chairs on the inside of the dining room. Our server was awesome. My wife was looking for a particular IPA and the server did all he could do to bring over something that she liked. He gave her, at least, 3 choices before she decided to get some wine. We were both really impressed with his service and caring to try to get something she would like! Great way to start dinner! Food came and it was excellent.
