The Blue Pelican Inn

Had dinner there this evening and, at best, it was mediocre.  Have eaten there several times in the past and it was just not the same. Really disappointed to spend that much money and have such a marginal meal. My wife felt the same.  Not likely to return. Sadly, just not the same quality place for a nice dinner.

A dozen great oysters to start, wonderful prime rib done perfectly medium rare, and an outstanding slab of ribs with BBQ cherry sauce.
Good service despite a crowd although the bus-boy needs a tune-up re picking up finished dishes promptly.

All this PLUS Great Music from Kenny Thompson.

Yeah.  Tonight I went there for Father's Day.  I ordered pork ribs.  Waitress said .. oh yes they are a favorite here.  Well, I cannot imagine why that might be.  The meat (pork) was pink but the outside of the ribs was so blackened (not mentioned) that I couldn't chew the meat.  I tried to peel off the
'skin' but all that was left was ugly and tiny bits of pink meat.  It was actually disgusting.  I almost vomited.  Absolutely the WORST ribs I have ever been served.  

Whipped potatoes with wasabi... no.. the flavor doesn't work.  The asparagus was okay but nothing great.  The bread, however, was warm and yummy.

My husband order the pork something or other... and he brought about two thirds of it home for our dog.  He hated the sweet potatoes and the rice pilaf which he said was absolutely tasteless.  

We are NEVER going back there to eat... EVER!

The waitress did comp my meal though so I felt somewhat better.. but hungry.

I do not recommend this place at all.  This is about the 5th time we have tried one of the Blue Pelican restaurants in the area and each time, we have had a bad food experience.  

They need a really good chef... I mean a good one who knows how to cook and combine foods.
