What a hidden gem!! Perfect type of place for me, I just wish we lived on the same side of town! Will definitely stop by again when in the area! The coconut shrimp with the sides (clam chowder and Caesar salad) were amazing. The salad was huge to be considered a side, could’ve been it’s own meal lol. My husband, not a seafood guy, had the chicken club sandwich which looked amazing and he loved it. So yes, they do have stuff for the non seafood people, but the seafood is amazing. Can’t wait to go back. The server, was so attentive and such a nice guy. Met the owner who was extremely gracious for our visit! Love it!
This place was amazing!! We had our weekly lunch with our large family and everyone was happy. Great variety and pleasant atmosphere. Our waitress was very sweet and personable and offered great suggestions! Adding this place in rotation for us.
We've only been here once before years ago, but enjoyed it and wanted to come back for our anniversary. The service was great and very friendly. The clam chowder was great, but the shrimp and onion rings were a little overcooked. Sweet potato fries was my first choice, but they were out, so onion rings it was. Dessert was very good.
Food was fairly decent. The fish sandwich was a little over cooked at the edges, but overall it was pretty decent. A small pin bone was found in the salmon on the salad. Not to be unexpected, but could have been a bit more careful. The fries and onion rings both came out really well, and I personally feel this is where they shine the most. The pier restaurant theme was interesting and I was into it. Staff was really friendly as well.
Everything was excellent!!! Can't wait to come back and enjoy it again.

I had not been to Pelican's Reef in about 20 years but, always raved about it to my husband. I don't know why it took so long to get back here! The ambience is great! Very fun, and beachy. The staff was fantastic, and friendly.
We started off with the lobster bisque and calamari. The bisque was hearty, and creamy, with just a hint of heat. I love how they crumble the crab meat into it, so that you get an abundance of crab in every bite, and not just a nugget here and there. The calamari was super crisp. Large body rings, along with the tentacles. It wasn't rubbery like most places. It was tender, and moist. I can see why it's rated best in Cincinnati!
I ordered one of the specials of the day. It was a seared ahi tuna wrap. It had large, melt in your mouth, pieces of ahi, stuffed with a cabbage slaw, and a sweet teriyaki sauce. It was so delicious!
My husband also ordered a special. It was a huge lobster roll. It had giant, meaty pieces of lobster, in a creamy dressing, with chopped green onions and tomatoes. It was quite delectable.
For dessert, we had to try the peanut butter pie. OMG! It was not mealy but, silky, smooth, and very rich!
Definitely not going to wait as long for our next visit!

We ate at the Reef Top, the upper restaurant, and the food was very good. Try the pretzels and beer cheese, it's the best I have had! I had a blackened halibut with crab and Benedict sauce....yum!
This place has consistently put out great seafood year after year. Every time I go the kitchen has cooked the seafood perfectly (and that's not an easy thing to do). Excellent food at great prices. My favorites are the calamari, Po' Boys and the coconut shrimp. Go and you will not be disappointed.
My first visit....The place had distanced tables and very clean atmosphere. The food was amazing in both taste and presentation. The Caesar Salad is very good. The lobster fritters with Jalapeno tartar sauce is delicious. Their Crab cakes are more Crab than cake and that was delicious and that fresh ocean taste with the twice bake potato and asparagus was soooo good.
Their coconut Shrimp was great as you not only had the flaky coconut texture bit could taste a hint of the coconut. The shrimp comes with a pepper sauce that is not as peppery as it is sweet and delicious. This was indeed awesome food.
I take myself to eat at Pelican's Reef when I want to care for my whole body and heart and soul. They prepare their food consistently excellent every time they treat me like family and it's a great atmosphere.
