About Pelican's Reef

Pelican's Reef, a popular seafood restaurant in Cincinnati, has recently reopened after a fire. The restaurant offers a variety of seafood dishes, including fried oyster and shrimp Po Boys, gumbo, Lobster Bisque, Clam chowder, Caesar salads, grilled Mahi-mahi, and stuffed grouper. The fried oysters and fish are mentioned to be fresh and perfectly cooked. The service team works well together, providing friendly and welcoming service that makes guests feel at home. The atmosphere is positive and friendly, with a hint of a Floridian beachside vibe that appeals to many visitors. The decor and overall environment give a relaxed, beachy feel, especially upstairs in the bar section. Although the downstairs area is currently being remodeled, guests can still enjoy the good food and friendly service. The shrimp and grits from the special menu have been praised as the best ever tried, and the Mahi Mahi has received love from diners. Parking is mostly around the back, making it easy to access. Overall, Pelican's Reef is a beloved spot for seafood lovers, offering delicious food, friendly service, and a relaxing setting, though some may find the portion sizes small for the price and the premade soups less appealing.

Bummer this place used to be so good went early to get in on Saturday ngt, when we left at 630 on Saturday night the place was dead.
The oysters and clam chowder was the best, not worth going to anymore@
My wife and I are visiting the area and met friends here who moved back to Cincinnati a couple years ago. We both had the Cajun-grilled grouper sandwich and it was delicious! Perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked; light, flakey, tender and bursting with flavor! The adult Blueberry-Lemonade was delightful as well! We would definitely eat here again.
good food and reasonable prices. fresh food
