Pelican Alley Restaurant Seafood restaurant
"We're not just a restaurant. . . We're an institution. Pelican Alley was established in 1981, but the history of the building begins many years earlier. Built in the 1900s as a fish camp, it morphed into a local bar and boat rental, and then to the Admiral's Wardroom. Through the years, it has become a favorite gathering spot for locals and a destination point for tourists. Our clientele has included the famous and the infamous. Local (and not so local) artists, writers and actors have been known to drop by to enjoy the food and the ambiance. Several ghost hunters have investigated our hauntings."
