Pelican Grill - NEWPORT COAST

Robert Mann is truly exceptional—his service made our lunch experience unforgettable. This restaurant is amazing, with every detail meticulously designed. The atmosphere, natural setting, music, outdoor heating, and stunning architecture all come together beautifully. I could go on and on! I highly recommend the lobster roll, though I'm sure anything you order will be fantastic. Thank you once again!

I absolutely love the atmosphere here. The waitstaff is truly among the best—warm-hearted people who I hope earn great wages. We were treated with such hospitality that it really made us feel comfortable and at ease in the room. We ordered some food, but my only complaint was about the Chips and Dip; I couldn't really taste the caviar. Also, the bathroom had a strange smell that reminded me of sour cream. Other than that, everything was delicious. I’m giving it 4 stars because it didn't quite match the high prices, but overall it was a fantastic experience!

Unfortunately, there weren't many options for a late Sunday dinner. We ended up eating in the bar area. The food was decent but on the pricey side. I ordered the short ribbons with carrots and potatoes. The portion of meat was generous, but I felt that there could have been more vegetables.

We came to lunch on Saturday and asked a table on the terrace. The view was great and the service was good. But the menu selection was quite limited, mostly burgers and pizza for lunch. I ordered the lobster roll and my friend ordered pizza. The lobster tasted fresh and the pizza was in a thin crispy crust and I enjoyed the food. They also delivered some cheese sticks and warm bread for free, which I appreciated. It's a bit expensive for lunch, but it's what you have to pay for the view.

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 ?
