What an amazing lunch! We had the Zeus Bloody Mary! Everything was perfect. The price was reasonable and service was outstanding. We met one of the owners and he had us put a pin in the map. People come from all over the world for one of their bloody Marys!
We’ve waited over two years to finally visit Blind Pelican, and it was absolutely worth it. This place lives up to the hype. The Bloody Mary alone is an experience, loaded with king crab legs, snow crab clusters, filet, shrimp, grilled cheese, bacon, and more. It’s unreal and somehow still perfectly balanced and delicious. Service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was fun, and everything felt intentional. Yes, it’s an experience and priced accordingly, but it was worth every penny. We left with no food wasted and zero regrets. If you’re a Bloody Mary fan or just want a fun, memorable meal, Blind Pelican is a must-visit.
This is 3rd or 4th time here. Its always on point. Make sure you call & do call-ahead seating so you dont have to wait long. They stay packed for a reason. Even on Fathers Day, we had excellent service and made a priority. Its worth the hour & 45 minute drive.
Loved everything. Tasted awesome and cooked well. We wouldn't do filet in the boat drink as the presentation almost requires the steak to be served cold. Otherwise, service, flavor and atmosphere was amazing. We'll definitely go back!!!
Wow wow wow ! This is our second time to this lovely restaurant 🤩 We took a detour on our way from Quebec to Miami because this place is worth the visit. We had Ben at the bar serving us and the two friendly ladies with him also. All three of them were so kind to us, very helpful, social and just plain great people to chat with ❤️ Thank you for making us feel welcomed and for making our dinner experience so much fun ! You three are awesome !!! 👍 Once again we had a custom built ceasar/dinner made for us 🤩 So delicious and cool to eat straight from the glass. Ben is a great storyteller so we had lots of laughs ! 😀 Both times we came here, we made friends while having dinner, the guests are truly friendly at this great restaurant. We highly recommend this place and we would definitely come back for sure !!! Look forward to meeting the staff again and to having a delicious ceasar. Thank you for putting our photo on Facebook and for the wonderful experience!! ❤️👍
This is our second time visiting, both times were a hit. And for shark week they have grilled shark, which is amazing. The Filet mignon was perfectly tender. Decorations are really cool to look at. Maili is really nice so are all the staff ( you better give maili a raise blind pelican owners ). And for all the Pokémon GO users the pelican on the roof is a PokéStop, So I got a lot of Poké balls and items from it. 5 STARS.
Walked right in on a Wednesday evening & there was no wait for my wife & I. Everything on the menu looked so tasty. Wifey never had gator bites (but I have) so got em & they were so good! It was "Lobsta Wednesday" so I got the lobster with steak. It was excellent. The steak was grilled perfectly. The lobster was a whole Maine lobster & did not disappoint. Wifey got crab cakes & they were excellent as well. Almost no filler whatsoever with just enough to hold it together. Looking forward to going back to try other items on the menu!
Exceptional and memorable dining experience. Staff was perfectly cordial and it seemed genuine, not policy. Server was Maili... 10 out of 10 pro! We had the Medusa, add scallops. EVERYTHING was cooked the way it should be. Filet was a real med rare, crab legs were easy to break and meat held together perfect, seasoned perfect, and the butter was perfect. I keep saying perfect.... add that to the grilled cheese. Mojito was refreshing, doubled the Bloody Mary and she was a spicy cuss I tell ya! We had wanted to come here for a few years. Thanks for the great memory!
Had the crab baked oysters (6) and the asiago Rockefeller oysters (6) plus the spinach salad. All was tasty. Probably should have ordered the smaller size salad. Quite a bit of spinach. Oysters were tender. Enjoyed the asiago a little more. Ate at the bar and the lady bartender was very friendly and accommodating. Oyster price seemed a little high but most restaurants have increased their prices over the past year or so.
Bucket List checked off for my wife and I. We visited with some friends and the experience was great!! We ordered the Sushi Nachos as an appetizer. We then ordered The Zeus as our choice for Bloody Mary. It came with dz raw oysters (6 raw / 6 Chili Lime), 6 oz Filet, Lobster Tail, 2 Clusters Crab Legs, Grilled Cheese, Bacon, and assorted veggies. I also had a Smoked Old Fashioned w/ Woodford Reserve. The food and service were great.
