I have dined here frequently in the past. Both my wife and I were disappointed with our food. She ate their permanent special of shrimp and lobster pasta purses. The bowl was filled with oil. The waiter took it back and poured out some oil but it was quite different than how it was served in the past. I had spaghetti and meatballs. It was fair. The owner was not on site and perhaps that contributed to a mediocre meal. We will give it another try as we have typically enjoyed our meals here.

Pelican Cafe is a nice local restaurant with quality food and service. They are a step above the other local restaurants and definitely can compete with the larger ones. They have an amazing Sunday brunch with awesome cocktails to complement your meal or mood. I highly recommend this restaurant. A little pricy but the food, service and atmosphere make up for it.

It was our third time to Pelican. All three times the food has been very good. The first time so was the service. I can't say the same about the second and third visits. The wait time for our food the last two times has been very long and the service a little “off” when compared to the first time and to other top notch restaurants we have been to. I want to like this place, but it's getting harder.

Outstanding. Live music, great service and wonderful food and very hospitable staff. Sixth time there and it is wonderful each time. You can't/won't go wrong, do yourself a favor and give it a try. Everyone I have brought there wants to go back. True local gem. There is ample parking.

This is the best restaurant we have gone to since moving to Singer Island nearly eight years ago. We both had different shrimp dinners, and both meals were superb. We can't wait to go back again.

We love this restaurant for Sunday brunch. Their pancakes, French toast, and waffles are beyond compare. It's fun and lively at other times too. The food is a good value and the ambience is electrifying.

We had dinner reservations for Saturday night to celebrate my birthday. When we arrived we were quickly brought to our table which had a huge Happy Birthday sign. We were promptly greeted by our waiter Raphael who is super friendly and knowledgable of the menu and specials. The Manager Wes also checked on us to make sure everything was perfect, which it was. The even was complete with dessert and the staff singing Happy Birthday. We had an excellent time!

Raphael was our waiter - very knowledgeable and excellent. He made it a joy to dine at The pelican. We sat near the bar - wonderful table - outstanding food. It was a pleasant experience. Thank you to The Pelican Cafe for a most enjoyable evening.

The Pelican is so special in its atmosphere , decor, service & food !! Can't overlook the sweet & beautiful hostess who welcomes us with a genuine smile. I highly recommend this gem !
Our server was amazing as was the location of our outdoor table. Unfortunately my food was not hot. I had the avocado toast with eggs and because the abundant avo was very cold it quickly chilled the eggs before I could enjoy them. I did eat them but would have been so much better if the eggs weren't cold. Overall our experience was wonderful (loved the donuts!!) and we will go back when in town again.
Yet another WONDERFUL evening w/friends at the lovely Pelican Cafe! The staff is so pleasant, welcoming, friendly and helpful;& the OUTSTANDING FOOD and wine menu never fails to deliver - the various menu items -no matter if salad, pasta, meat or fish-are always made to PERFECTION and served w/ beautiful presentation! It is an additional pleasure to meet and greet the owner ,Mark, who personally comes by the table to share his joy and make sure that you are as happy on the ‘receiving end ‘ of this fantastic, delightful, ‘family' time ; as he is on the ‘giving end' , as a true professional who really cares about his guests! We will always return to this amazing, beautiful ‘neighborhood gem'!

Great food again. The view dish with pasta and cheese potatoes was excellent. The Keylime dessert was a surprise as it was very different, but it was excellent also. Will continue to go back
