Pelican's Nest Waterfront Restaurant

Unfortunately, they are closed due to a death. Would have loved to try it!

Ate there a few years ago for lunch. The food was mediocre at best. Haven't gone back and probably never will. If you want real food, go a cross the street to Mr. Dominic's.

Delightful waterfront restaurant! Food and service were excellent as is the atmosphere. Enjoy!

View was great of the boats and water, but the meal was disappointing and overpriced for what it was. Chicken had ok flavor but the bun and extras were unspectacular. The plate even came with a large chip in one corner. Fries were nothing special. Can't recommend getting lunch here.

Shrimp tacos were made with mayo based coleslaw, salsa that tasted like ketchup and sprinkled with parsley. Only four beers on draft on a holiday weekend.. Waitress was kind and accommodating.

My wife and I took an out-of-town guest to PN for wine and snacks. I have only been there once before, long ago. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and activity on and near the river. Large awnings protected us from the bright sun, and later a bit of rain that fell. Our server was very good and we enjoyed the wine and the food. We had the fried calamari, and the spinach artichoke dip. I have added PN to my go-to places list.

They didn't bring out my meal at the same time as my guest. It was ridiculously long. I just wanted meat and cheese and it took forever. It wasn't appealing when I finally got it.
The view was impressive and so was the cool breeze off the water. Definitely felt nice to be down by the water.

This is my favorite place to eat in Rochester! The crab cakes are incredible, amd eating right on the water is always beautiful!

Food is ok. Very pricey. $9 beer. Some of the dishes are pretty good. Wait staff seem unenthusiastic.

Waited a whole hour for the food to come out after seeing later seated patrons get served first and complaining. Manager did not offer to comp anything. Will not go again.

My friends and I decided to come here as a last minute stop and try it out being we have never been here. We got to our table and ordered are food, we had three pelican plates and one crab wrap. All three of our plates came out cold, the Mac salad was warm and sour. Not to mention our server showed he didn’t want to be there. Will NOT be returning

We had been to the Pelican's nest a few years ago and were satisfied with the food and service. Tried it a few weeks ago and the service was great, food was cooked as requested. We went again last night, and complete opposite experience. Server seemed completely disinterested in taking care of our table, asked for limes twice for my drink and never received them so I went to the bar myself and had to return there to order a second round of drinks because the server never asked if we wanted any more. Appetizer took about 30 minutes to get to us. Burger was requested medium and came out charred. And the prices are crazy! $22 for a bowl of mac and cheese? The one bright spot at our most recent visit was the bartender who was very friendly and did her job well. We will NOT be back.

EMBARRASSED. On a tues.bring out of town friend, in empty restaurant. Greeted w you can sit at bar oh wait I have one two top. Yet restaurant almost empty. Seats us on unlevel ground , my guests chair flips as leg goes in holes in the floor
We order drinks After, both drinks had virtually no alcohol, server insists it was double and she saw pour? Oh ok I have 40 + years in F&B,. lie for many reasons, especially on first drink at lunch y would you decide to over pour and loose $,& leaving restaurant and bartender liable (dram shop laws)
Next fries Luke warm&
soggy., took over 20 minutes for 2 salads. We then ordered single shots . I only drink this brand and WAS NOT what was paid for. No offer of water on a 93 ' day.? No follow up from server .. after nicely speaking with manager as she was straightening chairs outside in empty place, she was not interested made no comment . Red flags everywhere. I also witnessed a guest spilled on floor and cleaned it up herself. Food garbage in floor under tables. Not impressed. Your place needs training and better risk management , and real management. Customers have many choices these days , and are watching their spending. You should remember this. All this on a Tuesday afternoon with not many customers this is your best ? Hate to experience it on a busy day. Left embarrassed don't recommend.
