Reviews for The Catch of the Pelican in Naples, FL

Really beautiful restaurant on the premises of the Naple Grande Resort. I had a lovely dinner. Great food, excellent service... and pretty views. I ate dinner one mid week evening and received such friendly service. Very professional staff, well versed onmenu items. I ordered the bacon margaritas which arrived garnished with a cherry tomato, fresh basil leaf and mozzarella cheese.It was very old, but it all worked well together! The freshly baked bread with housemade butter and mango/papaya jam wasdelicious. Might have been the highlight of my meal in fact! I decided to go with an assortment of appetizers instead of oneentree and enjoyed a crab sandwich. Nicely buttered and toasted bun and plenty of crab. I had the lobster bisque which waspoured table side. Being from Maine, I wasn't sure about the addition of coconut, but it was really delicious. Then I hadscalloped potatoes with brie which was probably my second favorite dish. For dessert,I ordered the trio of creme brulee. As achicken keeper and cookbook author, I'm pretty particular about my egg dishes and found the custard in all 3 flavors to be a bitlooser than I would have liked, but the flavors were great and the burnt topping perfect. I got a Miami vice vibe from thedecor which fit perfectly with the menu and swaying palm trees outside. I would definitely go back. It was a delicious meal.Very enjoyable.

I cannot say enough great this about this restaurant!!! From the food, the service, the scenery and the staff … everything was... Amazing!! Thank you Daniela, Curtis, Adrian, Kenard, Leslie!! You guys made our experience one we will never forget!! Read more

This place is really super cool…the decor is beautiful except the packing paper sheets used as a tablecloth on the top of the... white tablecloth. Who got the idea that the packing paper will look good in the upscale restaurant was beyond my imagination.Thepapers should be removed immediately, it looked very tacky and gaudy. Let the white fabric tablecloth stay on the tables, whitefabric tablecloth looks very classy and professional and appropriate for the style of this restaurant. We asked Hannah, ourwaitress, to remove it from our table. It did not match our desire to have a great dinner. Hannah was very nice, happy and opento our suggestions. Now we could enjoy our evening…again the decor and the floor layout is very spacious and open and you canalso be on the patio to enjoy your dinner. First I wanted to say that 75% of all employees are from Jamaica there and they bringa lot of positive energy to this restaurant. We started with incredibly fantastic drinks: candied bacon margarita andmetropolitan martini. Margaritha was explosive : casamigos mezcal, with cherry tomato, fresh mozz and basil skewer. Basically mydrink looked like a good appetizer already. Margarita and Martini were delicious and very nicely presented to us. BartenderAnn-Lee did a phenomenal job with these drinks. Later we moved on to our appetizers:lobster & crab bisque and crispy pork bellysliders and again everything was full of flavors and super good. For our main course we had Chilean sea bass and branzinoescovitch Jamaican style…both plates were stunning, absolutely the best ,fresh, vibrant and exciting. Chef Izzy was the onewho created our dishes. Later we moved on to the dessert options…we had a coconut mousse- absolutely delicious and the keylime unfortunetly it was not so good, maybe just to gely to our taste. I am glad they had a good cognac to finish our eveningwith, I just wish you could have one or two different Portos to try. Cappuccino was very good, hot and well brewed Read more

We ordered a medium rib-eye but the steak turned out to be medium well to well done. The food we ordered (mini crab rolls and... seabass) were mediocre, and the waiters were also okay. I recommend Truluck’s instead, for their professional service andexcellent food for about the same prices. Read more

Have no fear, Curtis is here!! Our server, Curtis was amazing, along with the rest of the staff! We came here for Sunday brunch... (the best brunch buffet I’ve ever been to) and dinner. Each time the food and drinks were really incredible! And that view???? Read more

Second time eating here. Chef Mournir out did himself. The tableside plating of the Dover sole meuniere is superb and perfectly... prepared. The Korean short rib bao is a great starter. The restaurant is lovely and a good choice if going to Artis Naplesafterwards. Read more

Naples is our vacation spot. The place we go to relax. This was the best brunch on the trip. I’ve been here before but this... experience was especially memorable thanks to our wonderful server Curtis. As he says: “have no fear, Curtis is here!” Andhe certainly was. Everything was great, the food was fantastic and the bottomless mimosas were just what we needed! Read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I did not expect food on site at the resort this delicious, but it was flooring. The... bread served at the beginning was light and fluffy fresh baked. We had the pork tacos as an appetizer and they were a greatflavor, with the pineapple on top as a nice addition. I had the Wagyu Burger, which was cooked wonderfully and tasted amazing.The only fallback was the pickles overshadowed the tomato jam which is the main reason I got it. When i removed them, the tastecame through a bit more which saved it for me. My girlfriend had the Island shrimp bowl which i liked even better than my ownmeal! The jerk seasoning and coconut rice were a great pairing for that dish. For dessert, we had the key lime and raspberrytart which was also very tasty. I highly recommend the place, and would return even if i was not a guest at the resort. Wellworth it to eat here! Read more
