Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

All I can really say to sum up our experience is - AMAZING. Really, no other words will do it justice. I cannot recommend Crane and Pelican enough for events. I reserved the restaurant for a reception dinner and was totally blown away, especially by the incredible staff and owner. I have gotten so many compliments on the restaurant, the staff, the owner, the food, etc., and I want to give credit where it is due. Several guests have mentioned how beautiful the night was, and the event was truly memorable. The staff totally worked their butts off to make it so. I could go on and on. Thank you again to the owner and staff that made the event possible. Side note: To top it off, the pricing was incredibly transparent and reasonable. I was able to text the owner directly and always got quick responses which made planning easy! As if it couldn't get better!

Excellent and comfortable atmosphere overlooking the river. Attractive building with period decor. The BLT sandwich is awesome and the salads are great. Be sure to try the fire crackers! Our server Cheryl was welcoming at made great suggestions. A fantastic casual dining experience with great scenery. We will definitely be back.

I loved this restaurant! I ordered a full sized Niçoise Salad, and as the generously loaded plate arrived, I thought, "Well, this will make a lovely lunch tomorrow, too." But bite after bite, I enjoyed it so much that I ended up eating nearly all of it. Seared fresh tuna, lightly seasoned and tender, and their homemade FIRE CRACKERS which add a crispy, salty, spicy crunch to a delicious dish. In addition, what a BEAUTIFUL location: dramatically high ceilings, lovely decorations, a nice view of the Mississippi River. This is a great restaurant. Cheryl was our helpful and friendly server, and the owners stopped by our table as well to assure we had a good experience. Highly recommended!
