Billy Wilikinson★★★★★Every Dish we tried was outstanding and thoughtfully prepared. The salad was a pleasant surprise, with a subtle smoky note that added depth and made it especially enjoyable. The setting elevated the entire experience—sitting by the window with a view of the water created a calm and beautiful atmosphere. It was the perfect backdrop for a relaxed and Seafood, Fish, Jumbo Shrimp memorable meal. Between the excellent food and the scenic surroundings, everything came together seamlessly. This is the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer and truly savor the moment.
Thia Mdj★★★★★Never had calamari this tender before! We also had the chefs special halibut but we were way too hungry to take a picture. Very good and light severed on mashed potatoes The lobster mac and cheese was VERY comfort food material! Yummy. The waitress was amazing, super friendly and good vibes. Would recommend this place
Linda Castillo★★★★★We had a wonderful dining experience at the Rusty Pelican. We sat at the bar and had a beautiful view of the Harbor. The bartender was wonderful...so friendly and made awesome cocktails. The GM came by to see how we are doing. We really enjoyed talking to her. Everyone was so friendly and helped make the entire dining experience special. And the food was delicious. We had the seabass and the salmon. We highly recommend the Rusty Pelican for a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely go back!!
Yarisdy Sanchez★★★★★Our experience today was spectacular! Our server was Savannah and she delivered a great customer service, not only very informative and helpful, but extremely accommodating for my husband. He is NOT a big seafood fan and had tons of questions about the food and sauce options. He ordered the Swordfish steak and even liked it without any sauce. The sauce was the cherry on top though. And he is picky so he asked if they could cook it even a bit more and our waitress gave us no weird face or annoyance like many other places do. She got it back in the kitchen right away.
