   We thought the food could have been better. The bread was undercooked, short rib dish - carrots needed to be cooked a bit longer, shrimp bisque had zero flavor. Service was alright, nothing special. A few long delays between check-ins.

   Ordered short ribs. Tuff and fatty. Restaurant was extremely noisy.

   The pelican club is an elegant, intimate location down in Halley in the French Quarter with an elegant, understated decor, and a quite acceptable noise level, even when it is very busy. The wait people, our waiter especially, were excellent, friendly and very attentive. Although my dish of short ribs was Perfectly prepared, my wife’s fillet, one of their more well-known dishes, came out cold. When we brought it to the attention of the waiter, he took it back to be cooked again. However, it came out, somewhat charged around the outside and still cold on the inside. The waiter brought this to the attention of the manager, who at least remove the cost of her dinner from our bill. However, she was not apologetic and seemed somewhat annoyed. I was somewhat disappointed, as was my wife, that she did not make a greater attempt at service recovery.

   Bar experience is always wonderful. We have been coming here 15 years every year for our anniversary. We start at the bar…then dinner. We do the revellion dinner each year. Apparently the 3-course dinner now is only appetizer, entree and dessert. Since I don’t eat dessert I asked if I could substitute a soup for my dessert. I was told “I will work it out.” I received my soup when my husband received his dessert. When the bill came, we were charged al La carte prices rather than the revellion price for my meal. Just don’t lie to me… if you can do it, ok…but tell me the truth.

   The food was fabulous. The scallops were unbelievably good. Service was a little rushed but this was the Christmas season so it’s understandable. The wine list is short but excellent and the markup was actually minimal. Highly recommended!

   Waiter was attentive and helpful with suggestions for sightseeing also since we are tourists. Scallops with artichokes were excellent as was my husband's Caesar gem. The ladies next to us had the salad with shrimp on it that looked even better bc had more sauce/dressing. My friend chicken was so good with it's perfect greens and bed of cornbread. Husband's fish filet was mild with good sauce. Pecan pie and creme brulee wonderful. Would definitely eat here again.

   The Pelican Club is a "go to" favorite. The food is always excellent, the service is friendly and also classy. The location on a well lit alley give the feel of a little village or neighborhood steak house. Whether we're having appetizers at the bar of seated for a full dinner, this place is consistently awesome.

    Our experience at the Pelican Club was fantastic from the moment we walked in and the hostess greeted us to the waitress, who was soft spoken, knowledgeable and on it when it came to foreseeing needs (like refilling drinks) the food came to the table hot and was outstanding! The scallops were a MUST and did not disappoint. We would definitely come back the next time we are in NOLA.
