Beautiful scenery, cozy ambiance, and wonderful customer service. Octopus was good. it just needs more flavor or paired with something else. Wings were crispy on the outside, yet cold on the inside. Sent them back, and all I think they did was microwave them and send them back because on less than 10 minutes and one wing shy, they brought them back. Had a wonderful Italian bartender, highly recommend him. Overall, it’s a great place to come and unwind.

I recently dined at this restaurant and while I had a pleasant experience overall, I can’t say that I was blown away. The service was fantastic – our waiter was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The decor and ambience of the restaurant were also quite nice, making for a comfortable and enjoyable dining experience!

Great service, great view, and awesome food. This restaurant is by the Pelican hills golf course, and it’s one of the best high end dining experiences I’ve had in South Orange County. They have a great wine selection. If you are on a budget, you can order the Malbec, and it would be a great choice. Their 1-pound rib eye is good for 2 people, and it’s to die for. Other highlights are their burger and the Chilean seabass. I also loved their crabcake, it was mostly giant chunks of crab with the right amount of seasoning.

What an amazing space for our event lunch. The staff was amazing. The food was beyond amazing. The space is incredible – you get both the ocean and the mountain feel. We absolutely loved it, and we hope to come back again!

My wife and I went here for our 33rd wedding anniversary and it was definitely worth it! The staff really made our evening special. Our waiter (Daniel) was a true pleasure and the chef (Donald) even came out to our table to congratulate us with complementary deserts, which were amazing. I got the Pan-Seared Chilean Sea Bass, which was the very best fish that I ever had, hands down, perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. A dinner we will never forget!

I recently booked a reservation for my mother’s wedding day, and I can’t express enough how incredible her experience was. From the moment I called to request a special table and Spanish-speaking service, the staff went above and beyond to make this day truly unforgettable. The staff members were attentive, warm, and accommodating throughout the entire evening. They ensured that my mother and her husband felt welcomed and comfortable, creating a truly hospitable atmosphere. Special thanks to the Spanish-speaking staff member Samuel who made my mother feel right at home. We will definitely be back to create more cherished memories.

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch at Pelican Grill. It was a sunny day so we sat outside, overlooking the ocean. Everything I ordered was tasty. Our waiter, Robert, was attentive and nice. I’ll be going back, just not sure when.
