Pelican Landing is returning to Pier Sixty-Six this fall, per the restaurant's Instagram, reopening as a two-story, open-air dockside restaurant positioned on the marina. The post describes it as a longtime waterfront favorite at the property, coming back in what the operator calls "a completely refreshed setting." No operator name, confirmed opening date, or design team has been announced.
According to the Instagram announcement, the two-story, open-air format is built around direct marina access — boaters will be able to pull up from the water rather than arriving through the property's landside entrance. The open-air configuration is framed as working with the marina's sunset sightlines, a setup the post presents as central to the concept's identity.
On the food side, the operator signals conch fritters and what it calls "laid-back favorites," alongside a cocktail program. The framing points toward a relaxed dockside format rather than a repositioning toward fine dining. A full menu has not been disclosed.
The fall 2026 window has not been refined to a specific month or soft-open date. What constitutes the "completely refreshed setting" — structural changes, interior redesign, or both — has not been detailed in the operator's public communications. Whether the relaunch will carry programming beyond standard restaurant hours remains unannounced.
The return puts a waterfront-facing concept back at one of Fort Lauderdale's established marina properties. The fall timeline is the next concrete milestone to watch, along with any operator or team announcements that follow.
