Review of Rusty Pelican

Very Disappointing! Have always loved the Pelican ...

Very Disappointing! Have always loved the Pelican as it's part of Miami however either the chef isn't around or they need a new one. The only thing good was the cornbread. The swordfish was tasteless an undercooked, the pork chops for a huge and looked amazing except they were dry beyond belief how do you dry out mashed potatoes so much you can't even eat them? Also got a whole snapper who thought the idea of putting cute green sauce on it was appetizing is beyond me but beyond that it was also over cooked and completely dried out have no meat on the bones just bones and fried skin. The atmosphere was fantastic as was the view the service was good but very slow and it took forever to get the check. I took some friends here from out of town and everybody was disappointed it is so upsetting because as I said I really love the Pelican. You can do whatever you want with the atmosphere but if the foods no good well I can stand outside in the bridge and enjoy the view I and eat a hot dog!
