Pelican's on the Bay: Reviews & Ratings
Jan. 2nd was my birthday, and while staying at the Hyatt Regency, I decided to have dinner there. I ordered the carne asada fries (had them back in September for the1st time). They were absolutely delicious! And believe it or not, I had more meat left over, than fries. Their food is expensive, but worth it if you're staying at the hotel. They gave me a free slice of cake for my b-day, which was very good too. Location is at the pool area, which is cool. You can go swimming, & get something to eat immediately after.
First time here, and was sort of conflicted after reading the reviews. I went with an open mind and a hangry attitude, only to be completely happy. I ordered the poke nachos, and a pitcher of the gin spritz. Please try for yourself. The drinks were amazing too! Service was great too!
Came in during a work day and it was slow and there was power. Great service, breakfast was delicious, and great views.
Great service, great atmosphere, and awesome setting! We had poolside service and they brought everything right to us and checked on us to make sure we had what we needed. Would definitely eat here again! The waitress recommended a few items off the menu and each were top notch. PS... The Pelican Fries are LEGIT!
