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.

Pelican Grill, located at The Resort at Pelican Hill, offers upscale California dining with sweeping ocean views and a relaxed, coastal atmosphere. The menu features seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with a focus on grilled seafood, premium steaks, and fresh salads. Signature dishes like the cedar-plank salmon and prime rib are guest favorites, all served with elegant yet approachable presentation.
The dining room is spacious and refined, with large windows and a patio that make the most of the stunning Newport Coast setting. Service is professional and attentive, and the wine list is extensive, with plenty of California selections. Ideal for a sunset dinner, special occasion, or a leisurely lunch with a view, Pelican Grill delivers a polished experience in a beautiful location.

One of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been to. The view is fantastic and the entire atmosphere has this grand feel to it.
We ordered a ton of appetizers. The snake river steak was the best main course.

This is a great spot for special occasions. For lunch or brunch or sunset the views are amazing for outdoor seating. The dinner for outdoor is mostly darkness but well heated and they have pillows and blankets. The lunch views are amazing outside with views of the ocean.
Service is amazing and friendly and have great recommendations. The food was delicious. Have been for lunch and dinner. Lunch the sandwiches were perfect. The lobster roll was my favorite. The ice wine they have is amazing for drinks. For dinner the sausage pasta is good and the veal is good.
Overall the prices are expected for this type of food and the service is exceptional. Food is larger than expected and delicious. Free parking when you enter turn left into the garage. Also has valet.

We celebrated Valentine’s Day and our anniversary at Pelican Grill in Newport Beach, and I want to start with what they did right. The food was excellent. Beautifully prepared, flavorful, and worthy of a special occasion. The service was equally impressive. Professional, attentive, and polished without being intrusive. It felt like a proper celebration dinner.
Yes, the pricing is on the higher end, and for pure portion-to-cost value it may lean steep, but for a special evening the overall experience still felt worth it.
Unfortunately, the night ended on a frustrating note that overshadowed an otherwise wonderful dinner.
When we arrived, we were informed that valet would be compensated for dining guests. What no one told us was that valet parking had apparently increased as of December 2025 to $50. The valet attendant initially indicated $25. When we retrieved the car, we were told the total charge was $50, with only $25 being compensated.
To charge $50 for valet — and then only partially comp it — when dinner for two exceeds $600 feels excessive and poorly communicated. At this level of hospitality, transparency should be standard. A surprise like that at the end of an anniversary dinner leaves a disappointing final impression.
The food and service at Pelican Grill were excellent. Truly. But a $50 valet fee, only half-offset after a $600+ dinner, is difficult to overlook. It may very well push us to consider alternatives in the future rather than return, regardless of how good the cuisine is.
