★★★★☆ 4.0 Connie Chow · Jan 2026

My family of 5 is vegetarian and we were able to have a good lunch there. However, I would expect more vegetarian options on the menu, or at least several dishes that can be modified. We ended up ordering all that can be ordered vegetarian... the Newport salad, and Caesar salad (sub vinegarette dressing), veggie wrap, mushroom pizza, and spaghetti with vegetables (not on the menu but they made it for us). It was my husband's birthday and they brought out a small slice of strawberry cheesecake for him. Great service and good food. Again, in this day and age, would expect more creative vegetarian options.

We had a great experience at Pelican Grill. The short rib sandwich was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the truffle fries were crispy and delicious, and the espresso was smooth and well made. Everything came out fresh and well presented. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a meal. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back.

Pelican Grill in Newport Beach: a beautifully designed haven perfect for celebrations. The sea bass exceeded every expectation, tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Unfortunately, service was a letdown: despite mentioning it was our anniversary, we had to ask multiple times for something as simple as bread and butter. frustrating for such an elegant evening. Thankfully, staff salvaged the night with a thoughtful free strawberry shortcake. A bittersweet experience, but the food was exceptional.
