Went there on a Friday night and the restaurant was packed. However, service was great snd accommodated us even though we arrived 30 minutes before our reservation. Food was tasty as usual, similar to other locations we have visited in Toronto. Recommended for a family dining place with variety of seafood options and tasty food.

PELICAN SEAFOOD MARKET AND GRILL REVIEWS

The best seafood place I've ever been. The oysters and tuna tar tar were very fresh and tasty! We ordered lobster and seafood pasta for the main course it was very delicious. The desserts was awesome. Service was very good too! Absolutely recommended.

Ever since our trips to Isle D'orleans and through PEI and New Brunswick, we have been looking for a local place with good lobster rolls. We found a close runner up here, and there's no shame in that. Going to the Pelican Seafood Grill was really going back to an old almost forgotten friend. Dayna, our server, was very nice and helped us navigate food sensitivies with their menu items. Their calamari is fantastic. The lobster on the rolls was a decent volume, and served cold. I was pleasantly surprised by their fresh cut fries. My only criticism would be the buns used were flat. Great atmosphere. Reservations recommended. It may be a little lively for some, but happy people are a testament to good food. Highly recommend a visit, if you're in the mood for good seafood.

wow. This was our first time coming here & it was absolutely worth every penny !!!! the only thing i found odd is upon walking in, for a good 5-7 mins nobody looked our way or even asked us if we had a reservation.. my husband had to go up to the bar and then we were asked finally to be seated.

THE WHALESBONE ELGIN STREET REVIEWS

Fresh and delicious seafood served in an unassuming space. We had fantastic and friendly service throughout the meal. The oyster selection was top notch with six different types from both coasts. The chilled seafood platter was amazing, everything was fresh and tasty. The scallops in the strawberry mignonette and the lobster were the standouts. Well worth a stop if you are craving top quality seafood.

We went on a Sunday... Quiet, nit a lot of people out. Best time to go. The food is ridiculously good. I had oysters, octopus and chorizo, and tuna tostada. Peanut had the Rib eye.... and as big as that Rib eye was.... she left nothing on her plate! Even the simple fries we could not leave alone.... I'm sorry... but if you are local and you have not been, your DEFINITELY missing out the service was amazing. And the ambience was cool. This is my 2nd time and they did not disappoint.

Oysters and the cold seafood platter. One of the best meals we've ever had. Jamie was awesome and took great care of us. We will be back again for sure.
