It's one of our family's favorite restaurants and we are bringing our friends. Thank You!

Great food, good selection and great scenery. Tables are a bit crammed together and it is noisy.

Service from Valet,hostess especially waiter, server Habid was excellent.

52 year of marriage !!

It was my sons 21st birthday we were there to celebrate. The hostesses had no personality very serious. waiter was rude. He had no customer service whatsoever, came off annoyed. Almost everything we ordered they happened to be out of. I didn’t care for the service at all.

We had made a reservation with Open Table. Our table was ready, even though we were a bit early. We were seated upstairs and had a gorgeous sunset view over the marina and bay. The food was delicious and our server friendly. All in all a great dining experience! Will definitely come back!

Steak was undercooked. When it came back, it was inedible.

Went to Rusty Pelican to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The interior looks worn out and like it hasn’t been kept up in a long time. The hostess were not very warm or welcoming. The service was lackluster. Our waiter never filled our empty water glasses or plates were not cleared from the table in a timely manner. I ordered filet minion and lobster. The filet was suppose to be cooked to a medium temperature but can our rare (more like raw) in the center and slightly burned outside. The asparagus was over cooked to a mush. I was extremely underwhelmed and not impressed.

It’s been a while since we’ve been here and we were not disappointed. We were able to make last minute reservations. The customer service was great all around. Fast and friendly service. By the way please try their key lime pie, it’s AMAZING!!!!

This was such a wonderful experience! Our food was fabulous and our service was superb. We would highly recommend the Rusty Pelican to anyone. Can not wait to go back!
