Pelican's West

The oysters are always so fresh tasting and can never go wrong with their steaks!Our server (Armijo) was attentive and friendly. This place is good for a casual meal or a special occasion.

Absolutely hate that I couldn't five star this place because I really, really wanted to love it! First time at Pelicans West on Coors I'm not sure what compelled us to dine on a Friday night however the staff and service were awesome. There was about a 25 minute wait around 6 PM however we opted to sit at the oyster bar and chef's kitchen counter, with full view of the entire cooking line. Zero wait there! I think that may have been my favorite part of the experience. The team was amazing, and each person had their station down packed! I didn't see any food sent back and they truly have a really awesome kitchen staff. Unfortunately, I wasn't wowed by the food, specifically because of the price. We don't mind spending money for fine dining however I have an expectation when you are paying a premium. My husband got steak and lobster and it was around $90 for his plate. He wanted asparagus instead of a mixed veggie, which was also an additional charge. The salad dressing was amazing! I really liked the salad bowl, which is unlimited, but there was no way we were asking for a refill because it was plenty full. They also served bread with whipped butter and roasted garlic and I was a huge fan of that! Our shrimp cocktail starter was amazing as well. It was fresh and reasonably priced, in order of four was around $16. So that's pretty consistent with the higher end Steakhouse. I'm not sure that we've ever had Australian lobster just what they were serving. It was not it all fishy and it was prepared to perfection, but I wasn't truly a fan of the taste. Lobster tails that we've eaten in the past typically have a subtley sweet flavor and this one did not. Perhaps it's the way it's prepared however, this was just kinda plan. It was served with drawn better, but we hate dousing in additional sauces. Finally, we got mud pie and we're very impressed with their dessert! That was made in house and was truly tasty! Another thing that I wasn't a fan of was that the server left all of the dishes on the counter, so everything was super crowded. I'm not sure why it wasn't cleared after our appetizer course and then after the salad course, however it never was. Perhaps it's a thing to leave the salad there since there's free refills but wasn't a fan of that.So five stars for the experience and the kitchen team, the restaurant was clean so five stars for that as well... I just wasn't super impressed with the seasoning on the steak and lobster or lack of clearing when main was served.

Went to Pelicans for the first time. We were pleasantly suprised. The food was delicious and the service was great. It was a busy night, but we made reservations. We started out with the sizzling mussels which I could have just had as my meal and been satisfied. They were so delicious. I ordered the Sea bass and baked potato with the clam chowder. My husband ordered the steak and lobster with the salad. The salad was pretty hearty with all kinds of veggies, and my clam chowder was full of clams and potatoes. The bread they gave us was also super delicious. The sea bass was a large portion and ended up coming home with me because I was so full after the mussels and soup. The steak was cooked perfectly and the lobster was melt in your mouth delicious. We definitely will be back and order smaller portions.

The good. The bread and roasted garlic cloves is delicious. The salad was generous and dressings fresh and flavorful. The bad. The oysters were good but very small and expensive. I know we live in thedesert but that doesn't change the fact that they were not worth it. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. It was OK. Slightly undercooked. Not a great sear. My son ordered the same and his was cooked properly. The seared tuna appetizer was slightly overcooked. It was tasty and was large portion. Overall it was just not worth the money. $38 for the sea bass that was not cooked perfectly and while it tasted good it wasn't great. The service was very good. Especially considering that they were very busy. I will be looking for alternatives rather than going back here.

Service was excellent and the Happy Hour menu starting at 4pm was a nice touch. These items only available in the bar and great prices on drinks.

Yes...5 Stars!!!! One of the best thing about a outstanding seafood & steak restaurant is quality, service and atmosphere. It's easy to add all the fluff for this best in class eatery venue in the westside but the place speaks for its self. With that said... Happy hour is a must!See you there.

My wife and I can't stop eating the prime rib. The fresh bread and garlic is a treat. The house salad is ginormous. Service is tops. For Albuquerque, it doesn't get much better for service, food, and price. This is where I will would take my out of town guests.

Fool ole fashioned seafood house with an awesome vibe. Highly Recommend this place if ya looking for good seafood in NM.

Well, our meals were great, especially my salad, I have to mention that the hostess will make all of the 2-4 person parties wait forever if they have a larger party to seat no matter who got there first. A whole slew of us smaller parties were made to wait over an hour while they sat multiple larger parties that got there well after us. (One party was a loud mouth and managed to get their huge party seated because the gal obviously did not know how to handle that situation ) You'll need to get the manager involved so watch it if you're waiting...our service at the table was fantastic though. There was no compensation for the slight...

I ordered take out NYE and the food made me sick. I had the prime rib and the jumbo shrimp. I've been in bed since with stomach flu.
