Rusty Pelican Reviews

good as always this restaurant is the best in miami

Amazing view of Miami in an overpriced menu with limited options.

This is the place to be if you want to impress your S.O. Make a reservation for a table outside by the bay and make it in the evening. They have a great wine selection and the Lobster was the best! Wait staff was on point and I'll never forget this place. You might have to make a few laps around the parking lot before you get one or just have valet take of it.

Excellent food and location. Was attending a wedding.

Its delicious... The view its the better in all bahia... I loved absolutely. Thank you for the attention...

After reading the reviews, me and my family decided to step into this restaurant. I felt a little looked down upon because of what I was wearing, but I called beforehand and the hostess reiterated that casual dressing was OK. It is a beach city, so expect me to come in flip flops if you say casual! Nevertheless, wine selection was great and affordable. We ordered sushi (good) and the cornbread was amazing! Great to see the sunset. Our waiter was super nice and funny. Really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant. Would definitely recommend and come here again!

We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon with delicious white Sangria and lunch by the water. Couldn't have asked for a more delightful experience.

Fine restaurant in a prime location. A great view of Miami, the best evening to look over and enjoy the sunset on the terrace. Friendly staff, delicious food and good drinks. Top recommendation!

It was disappointing like most things in life the roid head marines went a little crazy and posioned the whole party...

Nice view and the alcoholic drinks were great but the food was wack and expensive for nothing good at all. The food took almost 2 freaking hours. Smh. On top of all that there was a fight between the staff and the managers. They were literally yelling and swearing while walking through the restaurant. Very embarrassing. Never coming back.

I should give this place all 5 stars. Not genuinely bc of the food. Even even though the meals turned into first rate and the view changed into breathtaking. Our waiter Jose, was the excellent waiter I probable ever had the danger to be around. He absolutely confirmed us love and I had terrific provider.

I went for a Job Dinner with a fixed menu. I ask for meat but waiter did not even ask what would I like my meat!! They brought it over cooked!!!

Wonderful view of the Miami Skyline. Pricy -not too much- but worth the visit.

The food is not what it used to be, and it is over priced.

Great food, great view. Get ready to take out a loan.

Excellent spot in miami. Great happy hr. Amassing views. Outstanding service.

We love this place! We have been coming for many years. Now it's changed for good, the bar looks great and it's very cozy. Food is always great and good quality products. Staff is very attentive. It's a pricey place, honestly. But if you like quality it will be worth it.

The employees were horrible, we began by thanking them and they would ignore us, the food was good but not enough to even bring the rating up, very little. Overall a waste of money. I would totally recommend the beach however.

Perfect restaurant for a special event or date night. We were on vacation so tried items out of our norm - Octopus appetizer, sea bass, and snapper. Unique and fun plates! Our waiter, Anthony, was amazing!!
I would LOVE to go back during the sunset since it was on the water. Gorgeous atmosphere

Had A fabulous time there.... Both Food and Service was excellent. Highly recommend!

Excellent view of the city accompanied by good dishes.

Great view of downtown, very delicious food. Both fish and meat of the highest quality. Serh attentive service. Stylish ambience

Excellent views of downtown miami, which makes it perfect for happy hour!

Stopped in for a late dessert and drink. The decor is beautiful, and the view of downtown is stunning. I sat at the bar and the service was impeccible. A great miami experience.

Awesome.. must visit place.. beautiful location, good food.. good service..

We have gone on vacation to Miami and this place is truly impressive.

The octopus is not like the Galician in terms of flavor but it was rich and above all soft !!!

Spectacular decoration of the premises!

Excellent views and quality drinks! The green drink is Ginger #2: lemon and basil. Incredible!

Amazing atmosphere if you don't mind paying a little extra. But I called to book reservations for the patio by the water and they said they will try when I get there, but when they got there they had already closed it so I'd appreciate if they told me that on the phone when made the reservation. It's kinda the reason I went. The fish was good

Awesome view superb service and even better cuisine

It s getting a bit too Rusty!! Sorry but the food quality has gone down! Our server spoke no English and his Spanish was just to fast to understand. The view is nice though

Amazing it falls short. Very good food, very well served and great views to die for. One of the best restaurants I've been to, ten!

Good place to relax and unwind. The service was friendly and sociable. This place has a nice design. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.

Beautiful views of the Miami skyline, good food. The happy hour menu, in the lounge only, is a good deal!

Amazing views. Good food and drinks for happy hour. Tried Calamari and kumamoto oysters. Other food looked good so I will have to come back and try more and update this review.

Tje service was horrible, the food had bad presentation (salmon) also the wine very expensive I had to return the wine, the waiter took a long time in every thing, the restaurant is very expensive for the quality

This place has incredible views of Miami skyline. It has also a nice terrace for an outdoor seating when Miami weather allows it. Most of the menu is sea food and good. I had a salad, but for the rest of the group who ordered main courses the meal was cold. Service was very good. And be careful is pricey but it is ok for special occasions!

Excellent place to eat. Amazing view. Our server, Roberto, was great.

What a nice place! Right next to the Miami boat show if you go should stop for lunch it's worth it!

It s getting a bit too Rusty!! Sorry but the food quality has gone down! Our server spoke no English and his Spanish was just to fast to understand. The view is nice though

You can't beat the view of this place. Outside seating right on the water overlooking downtown Miami, and the food quality is outstanding as well.

Definitely one of the better restaurants to dine at for any special occasion!

My sister just went to this restaurant today for her wedding anniversary and had a great time, until they decided to have one last drink before leaving. The bar tender ( the woman that works on Tuesday on the morning shift) had a horrible attitude and refused to serve them a drink, told them to go sit at the table again so someone else could take their order and gave them weird looks and even rolled her eyes at them. I believe that she was was being racist towards them and once my sister toldThe manager, she said that bad looks weren t a crime. For such an expensive restaurant there should be better customer care. Very disappointed in rusty pelican, definitely not going back there again and not recommending it to no one ever again.

Yesterday we had our holiday party at this place.. and man let me tell you the food was draw dropping delicious <3 <3 <3!!!! I had the mahi mahi, the cauliflower mashed potatoes and the tortilla soup!!! my favorite!!!! I couldn't stop eating it!! I have to come back to this place for a date night.

Food was great - my birthday was a success - my girl qnd i had a great time. Thank you

I usually only give 1s or 5s, but this is the super rare 3. The service was horrible. The waiter was rude. The food is also very boring / traditional and overpriced. The view is just so magnificent. The food quality is also good so you can tell they tried even if they couldn t execute properly. Oh, and horrible cocktails

Has a great brunch outside on Sunday. Highly recommend the short rib empanadas, huevos rancheros and crab meat benedict. The best views of downtown miami. If you sit outside, make sure you get a table with an umbrella

I loved the view of the city, the water, and the delicious food, although not cheap.

The number one spot for happy hour in miami by far -believe

Great view of the bay. No more need to be said. Come unwind in iconic Rusty Pelican. Excellent food and friendly service to match. Over all clean with good parking. A bit hot to be seated outdoors, but theres always a breeze. The view is that much better if you're the nautical type.

A real nice Surf and turf Restaurant.
Quick service friendly and calm. Drinks are quite well. I love to eat the surf and truf. A nice steak and half of a lobster is a fantastic arrangement.
Try it and you will love it. not that cheap but worth to go and to pay for!

The food is amazing but the service was terrible. Our waiter was super nice and friendly until he had a large party seated in his section. We went over 20 minutes with no one stopping by our table. We waved and motioned to him when he was running around his large table/party but we were ignored. We had planned on ordering desert and after dinner drinks but because of the delay in service we left. When we asked to speak to the manager the waiter didn t allow it and then claimed we were mistaken and that we were only waiting 5 minutes. There are plenty of other good restaurants in Miami we won t be back.

Iz all good. The view of downtown Miami is awesome.
Their good was good but I felt overpriced... couldn't tell the difference between the kids salmon and the regular salmon, but the price difference was definitely noticeable.
I don't do valet, but that's all they had... so I paid the six bucks and parked the car myself and kept my keys with me.
Sit outdoors, but when the weather permits... it's nice outside... they even have a fireplace-like table... kids meals are good size and price. Definitely will do again (God-willing).

One of my favorite spots in Miami and a must for out-of-towners. The only thing better than the food is the view. Spectacular!

Went there Sunday and had great food
Great drinks but was very disappointed in the wait staff felt like they were In a rush there were 11 of us we just got there sat down and he was I'll take your drink order then wanted us to order and was persistent in asking us while we fumbled threw the menus then food keep coming in waves not to geather and the people that were bring it didn't know wear they were going it was like a day auction and my salad was served last and when I asked he was like its coming like u was interfering but 4 minutes later it came my choz app came but no cracker bread or anything had to ask for that then of course service pick up when we were finishing. I know it's been awhile since iv eaten here but has service really gone down that much had better service at the. Red Robin! Food excellent drink awsome but if this is the service I'm paying for need to go somewear wear customer fells special cuz the reason we go here is to be treated special!!!!!!!!

We make reservations for 7:30 and because I went to the girls at the front we were sitting at 8:00 on a comer with no light. Ryan was our server and we had to repeat the order. Big disappointment for an expensive restaurant. Food was good, service was not! Nothing from another world! And it was not our first experience here! Hope they fix the issues soon!

Purchased on Groupon to eat there, drove 2hrs to go eat there come to find out they are closed from renovations. Why allowed to purchase on Groupon knowing very well they are not open.
Disappointing!!!!
