The Pelican Room was a nice and cozy place for a brunch. The main dining are had a huge beautiful full sized bar and some tables to the surrounding it. Unfortunately, the temperature was terrible. Although their AC unit showed 65 on it, it felt more like 90 degrees! I came with 3 other colleagues for brunch and we ordered a variety of items. We started with the Mediterranean Platter which had toasted pita bread with 3 spreads. The baba ganoush and spicy feta were delicious but the hummus with pickled onions fell short. Hummus was plain and the pickled onions were too sweet. Main dishes ordered were: Pelican Brief Burger: good solid burger but I ordered it medium and received well done which was disappointing. Fries were good but nothing spectacular. Filet (Oh) Fish: good nothing special The Pelican Platter: The presentation was impressive was the taste and texture was subpar. The texture was more dense than I would like and it crumbled like a cornbread. The size is huge and thick but unfortunately, I wouldn't order this again. The Pelican Platter: We sub the French Toast for the pancake. The French Toast was a better choice. Tasted good and the texture was nice. Both platters came with a small side of fresh strawberry, maple syrup, whipped cream, and strawberry jam. You also get two eggs, bacons, and tater tots. Although the menu says old bay tater tots, it came plain. However, it was perfectly fried and crunchy so I didn't mind not having the old bay seasoning. Drinks: Strawberry Matcha, Jasmine iced tea and houjicha. All the drinks were okay and none of them stood out. Overall, I am glad I tried it out but I would give it a 3.5/5. read more

Clearly the staff has not been trained to manage the growing popularity of the restaurant. There was an awkward pause after we were seated before anyone came to welcome us and take our drink or food order. Our server asked how "done" we wanted our burger and salmon ("medium") but when the salmon arrived it was very rare. This has happened before here -- it took a long time for my properly cooked fish to arrive, and everyone else at our table had finished their meals. Fortunately, that didn't happen tonight, and my properly cooked fish arrived fairly fast. When a restaurant knows how to execute a fine dining experience, the guest is able to enjoy their time and their company. When it doesn't (when the staff looks and acts scared, doesn't bring water when it is requested, doesn't pay proper attention to its guests, doesn't bring properly cooked food...), the experience is tense and unenjoyable. That unfortunately was the case for us tonight. Also, the music played used to be so much more enjoyable. Lately it sounds gyrating and annoying. read more

I was taught if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all. I have to tell you I have never, I mean never, have had such a horrible dining experience as I had at the pelican room. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm very patient, caring, understanding, and empathetic to the service industry. Reservations were for 1:45 today (Sunday.) Place was empty. I know they recently got slammed because of all the "influencers" that have been posting in the recent weeks, plus from what the owner mentioned, a new line cook was being trained and their Pizza folks quit. Heard his story and understood, as we are all trying to keep head above water. I was trying to think, do I know the chef? do I know anybody here? Did I curse out their mama? The expresso Martini was trash, I don't know if the bartender was partying the night before, but I do know is that 20 minutes later after ordering it came with about a fifth of a tequila bottle poured in. About 45 minutes after that and me having to grab the attention of the staff to the point that I got up to the hostess booth, the owner finally came over and explained that they were slammed and proceeded to comp my meal that it will be right out. 15 minutes after that I had enough. And yes, I paid for my drinks, as the owner was bringing out the food and was kind of upset because he told me he was going to comp my meal. Nothing in life is free...Purely a litmus test to see if they would at least have common courtesy to comp those. One of the waitresses that was training another caught an attitude, I dismissed it. And yep, drink comp didn't happen. Same waitress kept passing by as I bit into my burger and I knew they gave me the special (anyone who's seen that movie waiting knows what the special consists of... I still can't take the taste out of the pound of salt and pepper that they poured on my burger, and my lady's food could crack a brick wall. The whole ride home I was questioning my existence, what karmic food God did I piss off? So since I didn't and don't get paid to "influence," don't believe what you read or hear on the internet (as ironic as me posting this online.) This is my honest review, and I do hope that if you still chance it and go to this place, you have a better experience, and not a scene from Scarface... fly pelican fly... read more

Cute little brunch here with a friend. Wasn't a huge fan of the shakshuka but everything else was really good. Loved the clarified espresso martini, very different but very delicious. Service was also amazing! read more

I am a big believer in reading reviews and then still going to the place to see for my self. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID! Me and my friends went this weekend for brunch, spoiler the place is a vibe! As soon as you walk in you get so see the cafe area (during the week you can sit and work there, I saw every table had plugs) On the weekends its dedicated to their brunch. Beautiful green floors and decorations. Loved spotting all the pelican figures and paintings through the restaurant. The food was amazing, I got the Pelican pancake and I cant explain how surprised i was to biting into a crispy on the outside and soft in the inside pancake!!! 10/10 would recommend. ALSO the bacon, omg that was also 10/10!!! Being able to order coffee from the coffee shop took our brunch to the next level for me. Big selection of drinks. The cocktails I didn't try but my girls attested to not only how beautiful the presentation was but enjoyed every drop. I do have to comment the music was great and I appreciated that they were playing different music in the bathroom and it was Dolly Parton (its the small things that make a difference) - also the bathroom was beautiful! The staff was extremely friendly. We found out about the speakeasy and after looking at picture on their IG, we are planning to return very soon. read more

Love this place! I've been a couple times this week. They open on weekends for brunch at 10:30 AM. Their cafe is open during the day where you can order coffee drinks and pastries. And, they're open for dinner every day. I love their food and their drinks! I love their hot chocolate special, their drinks, and their specials! You have to try their pancakes! Best I've had. They have window seating, bar seating, and plenty of spacious booths. If you haven't tried this spot, you should! I can't wait to stop back in again soon. read more

I came here for dinner on a Friday night. Although this restaurant opened less than two months ago, it is already impressively popular so reservations are definitely recommended. We sat in the front room by the door. You could feel a bit of a draft every time someone came in or out, but it wasn't too bad. The decor was tasteful, with an old world vibe. Lighting was dim. To start, we shared the truffle and gouda croquettes. An order came with six pieces and was served with a blue cheese sauce. These were delightfully airy and crispy, though the portion size was a tiny bit small. For my main, I had the black truffle fettuccine. The truffle flavor was mild and a bit tangier than I'm used to, but the mushrooms were perfectly tender and the sauce was pleasantly creamy. My husband had the Parisian burger and enjoyed it. To drink, I had the Bow Thai. You could definitely taste the rum and it was nice and fruity. They forgot to give us utensils for our entrees, but otherwise, service was good. The owner was friendly and stopped by our table to check if everything went well, which was very appreciated. This is a great addition to the neighborhood! I'm looking forward to trying their pizza next. read more

Aug 2026, came here with two friends for the first time and the place is cute inside. We heard from our Server there was a Speakeasy next door that opens at 6pm. He told us that the Menu is totally different, Appetizers mostly and drinks of course. However, when leaving the restaurant we asked the Hostess if we could take a quick peak inside the Speakeasy for future reference. She told us we couldn't look inside. We were shocked "What is this the Prohibition Era? For this reason alone we won't be back at this restaurant we can spend our money somewhere else. Now my take on this restaurant. Nice bar seating, and plenty of seating inside but in my opinion the tables are a little too close together. I could hear the conversation of the people next to us, and I could practically lean over a grab food off their table. When I went to use the bathroom I had to squeeze my body between the tables - good thing I am skinny, my butt was almost in their dinner plates. I understand the restaurant wants to maximize their revenue, but it was very uncomfortable for both our tables. So, if you're looking for privacy sit at the bar, not at a table, not unless you like eating with strangers. Anyway, our Server was great and our meals came out quickly and were good. I had the MARGARITA - Red Sauce, Buffalo Mozzarella, Basil, Parmesan my friend ordered the Parisian Burger and my other friend ordered the French Dip. All three entrees tasted great. read more

I celebrated my husband's birthday here. It was a Monday night so there ambiance was very chill. There weren't that many people there. But we loved the vibe. We had our small child with us and they catered to them. Service was impeccable. The manager was super attentive and very personable. The food was fresh and delicious. Even the kids chicken tenders were so good (haha). I will definitely be back for a happy hour session. read more

Suuuper fantastic experience. Prompt friendly service. Delicious fun food. Pelican Burger was 10 out of 10. The cocktails were a stand out. Loved the "I'm mister sun", and vibes were really dope.

Had an amazing experience here! The atmosphere was amazing and well thought out. The staff was very caring, attentive, and made sure we had pleasurable experience! The food was absolutely delicious!

Overall, dining here was a wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

Just wanted a quick drink as had to be somewhere. Sat at bar ordered two drinks. Mine just a bourbon on the rocks. Sat for 20 minutes while bartender repeatedly went back in kitchen and worked on a computer monitor. No drinks. We had to leave. Won't go back. read more

What a pleasant surprise this was ! It appears to be a cut coffee spot, but keep walking into the main restaurant, which features a bar and banquet and high hat tables. Enjoyed a delicious Saturday brunch here, featuring inventive and thoughtful dishes! My omelette avec champignons (mushroom omelette) was also filled with feta and spinach and was wonderfully created. Accompanied by a tasty watercress salad and a chunk of fresh sourdough, this meal was complete, but a side order of bacon rounded it out well. Began with " Smoked roe and revelry," a delicious dish of diced potatoes with caviar that was simply amazing! My friend had "The Pelican Platter," a very generous puffy pancake, accompanied by scrambled eggs and Old Bay tater tots, and the eggs and tots went home with her, as it was a lot of food. I was able to enjoy pistachio milk with my coffee, and other alt milks were available, as were a variety of coffee drinks (latte, mocha etc.) when we left, we saw the wider range of lattes and matchas they were offered at the coffee shop portion of the restaurant, but I did not see these on the main restaurant menu. A pity, because I would've loved to have tried the strawberry matcha, or the gingerbread latte. The only downside of our visit was being seated at the high top banquette tables that were alongside the bar. The seats were very uncomfortable, and lacked much of a flooring to them, which meant either your feet were dangling while your back was supported, or you kept your feet on the Floor bar, with your back unsupported. Either way, not a comfortable seat. I wish we had been seated at one of the low tables, or even at the bar itself. But that was not have made for good conversation for our party of four. If you go, would suggest that you get one of the regular tables, instead of the high top banquettes. read more

We stopped by to try their Happy Hour Menu. We were very pleased with the service and food. The Pelican room is a laid back upscale atmosphere with awesome drinks and food. I ordered the house speciality Peach Peach and I was extremely happy with my choice. We also ordered the poppy seed piggies and all I can say is wow!! Delicious is an understatement, a great presentation and the flavor was definitely on point. This is a great chill out spot. read more

My friend and I had a great dinner here last night. Cool retro atmosphere, felt like the 1940's with dreamy blue walls and jazzy tunes. Angel, our server recommended a couple of wines by the glass and we took him up on the Merlot. Good choice. We ordered the Poppy Seed Piggies and the Biggie Back Dates to start (the names made me laugh). We threw in the Wedge Salad. We were very excited as these were fun and delicious. I had the Earthstone Chicken with whipped potatoes and lemon thyme jus. Every bite of this dish was mouth watering. I didn't want it to end. My friend had the Poivre Royal cooked perfectly med/rare and crispy pomme frites. Another winner. We barely had room to squeeze in the SoHo Silk Cheesecake with strawberries for dessert but somehow its silkiness found its way into our stomachs. We hope to return soon and check out the SpeakEasy hidden somewhere behind us. It was a truly great evening with a charming staff. We even got lucky with parking out front. read more

Not so easy to find a "proper" cocktail in lower Westchester. Thank you Jordan for a fantastic mezcal old fashioned. Service was fantastic. Love the appetizers and OFC the chocolate cake is a winner. Fantastic vibe, lovely staff and atmosphere. When you sit at the bar, the bartender can "make or break" the experience. Thanks Jordan, we will be back! read more

The food and service as well as the ambience are wonderful at this new gem of a restaurant in Pelham. I've only visited twice, but I'm very happy with everything. I've experienced thus far. I think people of all ages would love it, though it's not a place for small children. They do have a kids menu, if you decide to bring your children with you. The bar is fabulous, and the mixologists do a good job. I will definitely attend again. I wish they're happy hour was longer than one hour, and I wish the seats were more comfortable. But it's a small price to pay to have the stuff dates. read more

I absolutely love this place! Specifically, the café, from the specialty lattes to the service and ambiance. Parlor Coffee is one of my favorites, so learning that this is their brew was the absolute cherry on top. Oh, and the head barista, Vivian, is a ray of light. Stop by either for a great-tasting matcha or latte, sit at the brightly lit café, or even enjoy a happy hour in the beautifully designed bar area. You won't be disappointed. I'm happy to see this addition in Pelham! read more

Wow!! The most exciting new place in Pelham right now. We got together for a gender reveal party last night. Cal was able to accommodate 17 of us in the front room which gave us some privacy because we are a LOUD bunch. It was so much fun, staff services were great and the food was absolutely delicious. Chicken and oh the asparagus dish! WOW! The speakeasy looks like so much fun! Can't wait for happy hours here! read more

We came from Long Island to visit and they were highly recommended. They did not disappoint. Waitress was attentive, friendly and alert. Owner Cal came over to us and asked if we were good... exceptional ownership. Decor was fabulous. Created a nice vibe. Owner discussed his speakeasy Calico. Food and drinks were spot on. Definitely worth every penny we spent. We will be back. 5 stars. read more

Overpriced and Understaffed The interior has a cool vibe--unfortunately, we weren't seated in that space. Instead, we were placed in the front room, which had zero atmosphere and absolutely no heat. It was freezing, made worse every time the front door opened since our table was right there. Service was extremely slow. It took about 15 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us, and another 30 minutes just to receive drinks--before we could even place a dinner order. The menu looked promising, but the food itself was just okay and ultimately forgettable. Once our meals arrived, our server never checked on us again. We weren't offered a second round of drinks--which may have been a blessing, given how outrageously overpriced they are. Beware of ordering drinks not listed on the menu. A simple tequila and club soda was charged at $36, which is absurd. We asked for leftovers to be wrapped, and despite having nearly a full dish remaining, it was returned in a tiny 4-oz container--meaning most of the food was thrown away. When we questioned this, we were told that was "all the food," which was clearly untrue. Adding to the annoyance, a man in a fedora repeatedly wandered through the dining area aggressively pitching their speakeasy, which felt intrusive rather than enticing. Parking was also a hassle, and after spending a significant amount of money, having to walk several blocks to our car in a sketchy area was the final straw. Overall, this was an expensive and disappointing experience: lackluster food, painfully slow service, wildly overpriced drinks, and poor attention to basic hospitality. Not worth the money. read more

Another addition to the Pelham wasteland of sub par food. I work in Pelham but always wind up in the river towns for a decent to stellar meal. The space would be better off used for another paint store. Drinks are good but priced like Le B in Manhattan. read more

The Pelican Room is a bonafide experience. It took a long time to get here but now that it's here, oh boy is it ever so good. Absolute top marks for decor and ambience -- seating as gorgeous as they are comfortable, quite spacious, and great lighting. We were seated next to a table of screaming harpies but that's hardly a ding on the establishment. The bar is visually impressive, those bar seats are awfully inviting. I ordered the Smoking Barrel -- it was... okay. For a bourbon and tea concoction, I couldn't pick up any tea in the drink. Still, enjoyable enough. Let's get on to the food, shall we. The Devil & The Lyon deviled eggs were surprisingly good and brilliantly balanced. The French Dip sarnie is definitely big enough for two -- the trick is to eat it over the fries so the fries can soak up the dripping jus. Big marks for the Everything Crusted Salmon. The Sweet Heat pizza absolutely lived up to the name -- pronounced sweetness with just the right amount of heat. I hate to use the word balanced again but here we are. I'm saving the best for last. The Parisian Burger, ordered medium rare. This was a transporting burger. I can't remember ever ordering a burger in Paris. But there was something about this Kalico cut beef (what even is that) with brie and cornichon that sent my head right back to a Parisian bistro. So juicy and rich. The fries were outstanding as well. Just a 10/10 burger. I want to go back to try the rest of the menu, but I wouldn't be mad if I feel right back into this Parisian Burger trap. read more

The restaurant and cafe's ambiance is wonderful. We've been at the cafe during the day and had dinner last night. The grilled Cesar was awful, don't order it. You'll be disappointed.

One of the most negative dinning experiences I've had in a long time. To enter the the restaurant, you walk through a front room that looks like an addition to the main restaurant. People eating in that area clearly looked cold. They were wearing their coats. It's December. When we were informed our table would be in this area I immediately asked for a table in the main seating area and was told I would be put on a wait list to move inside. The evening went downhill from there and there was never any effort to move us, we watched several groups walk in and get seated in the main area. We were seated right next to a drafty window, it was pretty rough. Should have left, but was hungry and the food next to us looked good. I had hopes that by ordering quickly we would be ok until we got a table inside. The waiter was nice, but seemed incredibly stretched thin. We soon found out a table near us, also cold, had been waiting 90 minutes for their food. We too had been waiting for a long time. At that point we asked for our entrees to go, I couldn't take freezing anymore. Other tables around us were speaking up about the experience, we did as well, and the manager was apologetic but failed to take any action - never tried to move us, didn't offer anything and then explained the heat wasn't properly working in the front area. To seat people in that area without properly functioning heat was wildly inconsiderate. read more
