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.

We enjoyed every single bite and sip! We ordered the beef tartare, broccolini, and sweet potatoes for the table, and then had the ribeye and the pork chop as entrees. Every bite was spectacular!! No notes at all on the food. Our only mild disappointment was that we ordered a round of drinks for the kitchen staff (which is an option on the menu called ‘Rock Stars’) when we ordered our own drinks at the start of our meal, and we never saw any drinks delivered to them. It’s an open kitchen in plain view of the dining area, and we were bummed that we never saw them take a shot or pass out beers to sip on as they cook or anything like that. We were hoping to raise a glass with them in cheers, or at least see some drinks set out for them, but I’m not sure they ever got the round we paid for. It’s a small thing, but I was expecting a bit more fanfare for that to be an option on the menu. Still, this was a five-star anniversary meal, and I cannot say enough about the food. We’ll be back for another special occasion soon!!

Hands down the best overall meal I have had around Nashville. Four people in our party so we tried each entree on the menu. All were fabulous. Tried two appetizers, two shareable sides - the sweet potato and whipped feta topped the list. Absolutely cannot wait to come back.

The service was great! The food was very good but they no longer have the corn ribs and the potatoes. We were looking forward to these items. Please bring them back!🥺
