    I mentioned in my reservation that we were coming for a birthday, and they surprised us with 1) a happy birthday message printed on the menu, 2) a welcome birthday toast and 3) a birthday dessert. They were also highly accommodating to our 10-year-old, adjusting a simple buttered pappardelle that she went crazy for. Start to finish, cocktails to dessert, the food was outstanding and the service was just as great.

    It was our first time and really amazing! My girlfriend and I love tapas style, and Noko was on the list for a while. Marissa was sweet to hold our reservation while we were stuck in traffic, Julian was very attentive to our table, Kylie was a so sweet and even gave us free pineapple sorbet, and John gave me a call the next day to ask how our dinner was. I work in a luxury hotel and love to see amazing customer service!

    It’s hard to find a contemporary American restaurant that really raises the bar on creativity, innovation, flavor, and service, but the Pelican & Pig provides on every front. Everything was delicious and flavorful. Our server gave us great recommendations on food and drink; he was attentive but not intrusive. We’re pretty selective about where we spend our date night budget, and we will definitely be coming back. The cook on the steak was so perfect that we’ve brought it up multiple times since last night. Strongly recommend the phyllo dough app; sweet potatoes; broccolini; and the strip steak.
