Reviews for Pelican Grill in Newport Coast, CA
I love this atmosphere. The wait staff are truly some of the best, warm-hearted people, and I wish them large paychecks. We were... treated with such ?calmness? that you genuinely just felt comfortable and at peace in the space. We did enjoy the food -however the only issue I had was with the ?chips and dip.? You couldn?t taste the caviar and the dip seemed to be a dollop ofsour cream. Other than that - it was delicious. 4-stars because it might not live up to the price. But great experience overall!

Nothing else was open for a very late dinner on Sunday. We ended up eating in the bar. The food was good, but quite expensive. I... had the Short Ribs with carrots and mashed potatoes. Meat portion was plentiful, but the vegetables could have been more. Read more
We came here for lunch on Saturday and requested a table on the patio. The view was great and the service was good. But the menu... selection was rather limited, mostly burgers and pizza for lunch. I ordered the lobster roll and my friend ordered pizza. Thelobster tasted fresh and the pizza was in a thin crispy crust, and I enjoyed the food. They also provided some cheese sticks andwarm bread for free, which I appreciated. It's a bit pricey for lunch, but it's what you gotta pay for the view. Read more
Good but not perfect. The menu is limited mostly by meat dishes, only 1 salmon choice. The service is outstanding. Location is... good. View is outstanding and perfect. Thank you ???? Read more
The restaurant was quiet and calm. If your looking for a place with a vibe and energy, this wouldn?t be the place to go, but I... think it would be a great place for a romantic dinner or even business meeting. The kitchen is right in the middle of view so itwas a great focal point in the room and added bonus to watch them prepare the food. The service was amazing. Our waitress wasattentive and sweet. They bring out a basket of warm bread, I loved the pretzel bread the best. We ordered a Caesar salad toshare, the beef cheek, and sea bass Caesar salad was not my favorite. It was just ok, I give it a 3 out of 5 The beef cheekwas very yummy and falling apart, literally melting in your mouth. It did have a very slight gamey taste but truly nothingnoticeably overbearing, definitely worth ordering! The fish was amazing. Light, fluffy, not over cooked or greasy and had aslight crispy on top.

My wife and I visited for an impromptu dinner date. I?ve normally enjoyed Pelican Grill for lunch and rarely for dinner. I will... say it?s quite divine in terms of dinner options. The ambience is of course very nice and conducive for amazing conversations.Should you require large televisions for sports events, those are present however the volume is low enough that it is notdistracting for a conversation. Anthony was our waiter, he was very attentive to our needs. We enjoyed Menu options, havingsteak, peach/tomato salad, and a tomato/cheese/jam appetizer. Read more
Robert Mann is in fact, the man. This was our service for a delicious luncheon. This place is incredible. Every detail is... perfectly thought out. From the atmosphere, the nature, the music, the outdoor heating, incredible architecture etc. I could goon. Highly recommend the lobster roll, but I?m sure anything you order would be fantastic. Thanks again! Read more
