Reviews for Pelican Bend ???? in Naples, FL
Always great, the fried shrimp basket is excellent (lightly beaded, perfectly cooked) and the Chowder with just a dab of Tabasco... is worth the trip all by itself.. Read more
Came for dinner with my wife and some friends. The staff were friendly and suggested the fish special. My wife and another in my... party ordered it. It was delicious! Flaky with a perfect amount of seasoning and breading. I ordered the shrimp scampi whichdoes not come with pasta. In my opinion, it did not need it. Plenty of shrimp are in the dish so you will be satisfied. Thehomemade salad dressings and key lime pie are excellent. Read more
Great little restaurant with the best sauted fish of the day. Ask them to leave it in the pan a little longer if you like the... crunchy bits. Enjoy a cocktail on their patio with a nice view of the marina and you might even see a dolphin! Read more
Fabulous grouper tacos & wonderful key lime pie! Terrific place for lunch, on the water.
Absolutely delicious! Best fish We have ever had! It’s a very cool place with a fun atmosphere. The kind of place you see in a... summer/beach movie. Expect a long wait, but they have tiki areas outside to get drinks and you can sit on the pier and watch thesunset. Make sure you get the wedge of lettuce with their home made blue cheese dressing ( to die for) if your in the areadefinitely check them out. Read more
Sauted Fish, wedge with the best ever creamy garlic dressing, baked potato, and six of the largest and tastiest oysters... available. Was so full and happy that I ordered a slice of peanut butter pie to take home. I have been eating here for twentyplus years, every time I come back I think the fish is better than my last visit. The wait may be long, but always worth it. Myfavorite fish house in southwest Florida. Read more
First I will say that one visit is enough for my family. I gave it the rating to be fair because it is a good value for the... flavor as the prices are good but service is poor when all considered. Shrimp capri & scampi were very good, coconut shrimp wasway too sweet and heavy breading. The fish specialty was cooked well and very tasty and we assumed it was local fish. When weasked we were told the fish was White Ruffy (roughy). I thought it was related to orange roughy then, a very expensive fish. Ohnot so, there is NO SUCH FISH AS WHITE RUFFY/ROUGHY. As I have found this is a fish industry wide thing but white ruffy is abrand name of a farm raised vietnamese member of the catfish family, aka basa or swai or pangasius. If i had known that before iwould not have ordered that as i have turned my nose up at the store for swai cause of its origin and very low price. That nameis misleading at best. Now the service. If you have over a party of 4 you will wait a long, long time. We arrived at 5:20pm,party of 6, and were told it would be until 6:15 with an odd tone. We thought that seemed long as they only opened 20 minutesearlier and we were 5th on the list but hey it was rated high and was full. This was after waiting until the hostess was doneconversing with people in the waiting area to get on the list. We were seated at 7 pm!! One hour and forty minutes later. Wewere done with the meal by 8:10pm paid and drove away 3 hours after arriving for a so so dinner. The waitress was friendly anddoing the best she could with the packed house. It was VERY obvious that known people are treated to preferred speed ofseating, ordering and serving as a party of 9 got there just before we were seated, were seated immediately after us, hadappetizers before we saw the waitress and we ordered entrees before they did and they had dinners well before us. Not sure whythey don't use the outdoor seating like Snook's. They could serve a lot more people. We won't be back but it Read more
Had a very pleasant lunch, with water views, nice breeze and a good lunch menu. We chose two baskets, cheeseburger with a... generous side of French fries and a fish and oysters. It was quiet, clean and good service. Worth trying. Read more
