All seven of our party loved our choices, and looked with appreciation to those of our fellow diners. We highly recommend for the food alone, but the staff were so kind that it made our evening that much more enjoyable. They even took our pic (3 phones later) so we didn’t have to do a group “selfie”. Lobster Mac is especially noteworthy, as was the chicken and dumplings. A split check between two of us for this birthday dinner was easy-peasy. It’s a favorite place!
This was the best salmon and was such a treat to have a gluten free option that was so full of flavor!Pecan Crusted Salmon – Atlantic salmon with a crunchy pecan crust topped with a blueberry compote, served with mushroom risotto, & seasonal vegetables.
Amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My husband and I are from Florida and always like to dine in unique places. This did not disappoint 👏. I am a vegetarian and absolutely loved the featured pumpkin soup, beet salad, and hummus and asparagus sandwich! My husband ordered the meatloaf and potatoes which were seasoned perfectly and so delicious! And don't forget dessert! We ordered the orange 🍊 crepes which were fabulous! Highly recommend dining here.
History surrounds you with a commanding view of the Mississippi River from the bluff above downtown LeClaire, Iowa. The spacious front dining rooms feature original floors, wood work and fireplaces of the beautiful Dawley House constructed in 1851 and is on the National Historic Register (1979). The board of fare changes frequently with specials & seasonal offerings. The food is expertly prepared, seasoned well and very few menu items are not homemade in the house kitchen. The food each visit has been hot and pleasingly presented. The bar is well appointed with several huge windows overlooking the Mississippi River. The bar is also well appointed with a high quality and selection of offering. The staff is very knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. It is a special experience to dine here and is certainly a reflection of the managing ownership's committment to excellence. WELL DONE 'CRANE & PELICAN'! KUDOS!!!
Good local spot. Friendly staff, diverse menu with enough different options to make everybody happy. Venue is an old house, makes for a unique atmosphere with each table being sequestered in its own room. Because of this setup, even if it is busy you are not surrounded by other diners and it gives a secluded feel.
Best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had. Mushroom risotto was perfect. Dreamy fried chicken sandwich was, in fact, dreamy. Staff was friendly. View from our table was of the Mississippi River, so perfect as well. Love the location and ambiance!
Quait setting in a historic Pilots home. Limited choices but fantastic food. Large groups over 25 can be challenging. We still enjoyed the experience. Ate there twice once as a party of two. Walked in no reservations Sat at the bar until a table freed up. Salmon was a hit my
Attended a bridal shower at this venue. Service was good, the venue is lovely and the food was great. Lovely historic home with a view of the Mississippi River.
