Pelican Club

Located in the French Quarter across the street from the Monte Leon is the Pelican Club. As u walk in thru the frt door an incredible dark- wood bar awaits. The walls are beautifully decorated w local artist's paintings; some from the Mechalopocelos Gallery rt next door.
The bar tender recommended a summer drink special that we just couldn't pass up- a lemon drop. It was very refreshing especially after dealing w the humidity all day!
At the table we had their BBQ shrimp which had an oriental twist- totally unexpected for a restaurant n the quarter! Other appetizers included escargot w puff pastry and grilled quail w grits. The boys had an olive salad which strongly resembled a Central Market muffalatta. It was really good!!

Entrées included lamb and veal chops but the best item of the night was the Crispy Flounder! Amazingly crunchy on the outside, white soft and flakey on the inside. The sauce also had an Asian influence w sautéed onions and bell pepper strips and a plumb base w hints of citrus and cayenne.
It was a GREAT way to end our trip!
