I was very surprised and delighted that the quality of the seafood was so good. Originally from New England, I did not think it would live up to my expectations, but it did. Perfectly sized portions with great flavor. Attentive staff completed our experience.

I know the secret is to have bacon in the Calm Chowder. But I doubt that the fisherman had the luxury to use bacon, since they use their products first.

Went there Friday evening for dinner. Had a couple of younger people who weren't fish "friendly" but they thoroughly enjoyed their salads. Those who had fish really enjoyed it...salmon, trout and I had lobster poutine and crab cakes, I really liked the fact it was smaller and the staff seem genuinely nice, not the "strained" smile servers you see other...

The fish store and the restaurant is connected so you have this overwhelming smell of fish when you enter. But, the smell eventually dies down once you start eating and get used to the smell.

Awesome!!! No matter what you order or who you order it from...this place is never a miss. I've been here probably more than 20 times and its always amazing. Says alot about a place when the same staff are here year after year. Reservations are recommended.

This was our first visit to the Pelican Grill. Being fairly new to Ottawa we were looking for a good seafood restaurant. We certainly weren't disappointed here! The Pelican Grill was a great find. The broccoli soup with walnuts was amazing. We were intrigued when our server described it so had to try it. My only regret was ordering a... More

I eat at the Pelican Grill frequently at lunch and occasionally at dinner. The food is excellent, and my friend and I are always treated really well.
