Great food, great service and well made mixed drinks! I've been here several times and the food never disappoints. The lobster bisque and gumbo are incredible. Do yourself a favor and get the bowl instead of the cup since it's only a $1 more! No wait at 430pm. 🥰

Got the Mahi dish tacos. They were ok. Thought they were closed. The bottom is but upstairs open
Got to go in the back. Up the hill. Away from the road.

Fun atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. We are traveling, so we split a meal. They actually split the meal for us on separate plates. Everything was great. Lobster Bisque soup was velvetly smooth and delicious. The Grouper was tender and flaky. The mashed potatoes had small lumps just the way I love them with a little garlic. Can't say enough good things.

I felt like I was on vacation in Siesta Key, Florida! Definitely vacation vibes , outstanding service and most importantly, outstanding food! You have to enter around the back of the building, that was a bit confusing as we thought they were closed. Believe me though, they are well worth finding. I would recommend better sit out front to direct you around the back parking lot.

A Cincinnati gem 💎 5 Stars always! The freshest seafood in the city. Key West type atmosphere with great service. Locally owned & operated. The gumbo is fabulous and I love their fresh peel & eat shrimp!

Really good seafood, welcoming environment and kind staff. The downstairs is currently being remodeled (7/6/2025) so make sure you follow the sign to go to the additional parking in the back.

You need to put a sign out front that says restaurant is in back. Front looks like it's shut down with two pods and trash out front. Food was good and hot.

Made reservations with my handicapped 81 year old mother and they wouldn’t seat us in regular chairs . Told us we would have to wait at least 30 minutes and she would have to stand ! Rude and disrespectful .

To start... the service team worked as a team. They were topshelf!! We felt welcomed.
The food... Wow!
I had their Shrimp and Grits from the special menu. I try Shrimp and Grits all over holiday travels. Pelicans Reef is hands down the best I have had!
My wife loved the Mahi Mahi.
