Pelican Grill: Orange Beach's Newest Gem
As someone who loves finding hidden culinary treasures along the Gulf Coast, I couldn’t resist checking out the buzz surrounding the new Pelican Grill in Orange Beach, Alabama. Nestled along the marina with views that will take your breath away, this seafood haven instantly became one of my favorite spots. Let me share my experience with you.
A Hidden Gem Worth the Hunt
First things first: finding Pelican Grill was a bit of an adventure. Tucked away near the marina, it’s one of those places you’d drive right past if you didn’t know it was there. But let me tell you, once you step inside, it’s like discovering a slice of coastal paradise. The decor is elegant yet inviting, with soft lighting and subtle nautical touches that perfectly complement the tranquil view of the bay and boats gently bobbing in the water.
Spectacular Food and Memorable Service
A friend and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner here, and we were not disappointed. The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. My friend even commented on her beautiful eye makeup—a detail that caught my daughter’s attention when I shared the story later. It’s those little personal touches that elevate the dining experience.
Now, onto the food. Spectacular doesn’t even begin to describe it.
- We started with raw oysters, which were impeccably fresh and served on ice with all the classic accompaniments. My friend couldn’t stop raving about how perfectly chilled and briny they were.
- For my main course, I chose the twin lobster tails with creamy risotto and crispy fried Brussels sprouts. Each bite was pure heaven—the sweetness of the lobster paired beautifully with the savory risotto, and the Brussels sprouts added the perfect crunch.
- My friend opted for the grouper topped with a decadent crab meat sauce, served with the same sides. The grouper was perfectly cooked, tender and flaky, and the sauce added a luxurious touch.
A View That Steals the Show
The food was incredible, but what truly set Pelican Grill apart was the atmosphere. The view of the marina and bay is unmatched. Watching the boats gliding in the soft evening light while savoring delicious seafood made me feel like I was on vacation, even as a local. The vibe is both sophisticated and relaxed, perfect for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or simply a night out with friends.
A Bright Future
Considering Pelican Grill has only been open for a couple of weeks, I was blown away by how smoothly everything ran. The owners have clearly poured their hearts into creating a welcoming space with top-notch food and service. It’s rare to find a place where every detail feels so thoughtfully executed. I truly believe this restaurant is destined for great success, and I can’t wait to return.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for an exceptional dining experience in Orange Beach, Pelican Grill is a must. From the tranquil views to the spectacular food and attentive service, it’s a place you’ll want to visit again and again. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Pelican Grill will make you feel right at home—and you’ll leave wishing you lived nearby.
Highly recommend!
