Rusty Pelican Reviews

What a place! The food is very good, and the view of downtown Miami is just fantastic.

Stunning views of Miami is the basis for the rating. The service is friendly and competent, if not warm and inviting. We've been there several times in the past few months, and the food simply never delivered. Everything is ok, with a nod to served cold. My whole fried snapper was tasty, but cold. So were the empanadas. This is over multiple visits.

Sit outside, enjoy the view, and have drinks and a snack. Save your appetite for the meal at the place you go after.

The terrible attention. Very delayed in removing dirty dishes, in serving drinks and food. It's the second time I'm going but I will not be back.

Great setting, but just too expensive for what it was.

Food was very good, prices high, view incredible. Ask for chow if there are any big problems.

They Rusty Pelican has excellent seafood, with great staff and wonderful service. The view of downtown Miami is fabulous. They are truly a 5 Star restaurant. By Gregg L. Friedman MD

This place is unreal. I love the food but I love the view more. It looks back over the bay at the skyline and is arguably the best restaurant view on the east coast. Tip: grab a drink from the bar and sit out front by the fire pits on the water. Some reviews mentioned mediocre service - way off. It's fine just not super stuffy or formal. Go somewhere else if you are looking for white glove service.

Bali Hai Golf Club is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Nevada. This South Pacific inspired layout is accented by a tropical environment of palm trees, expansive sandy waste areas and cascading water features. Mandalay Bay (the hotel that is), provides a backdrop to the north-facing holes but the main problem is cashier that person flirting with me...

A nice restaurant with spectacular views of the Miami skyline. A wonderful wine list and other alcoholic drinks. The tasty food.

Amazing plates and view, great service all the time. A place to go we ll dressed and enjoy a nice evening. Pick a reservation before you go and remember to ask for the crab cakes (you can thank me later). Enjoy.

I went there formy valentine's date and omg loved the view, the attention... Everything!!!!!

It was a busy night on Saturday March 17th there was a wedding, 50th anniversary party birthday parties so it was very very busy parking was crazy but once we got inside everything was great!

The place is beautiful especially driving up to it the food was good and So was the service! The only reason why it 4 starts was cold and windy lovely place and great view

It was our first time here. We had the most amazing food. Service by Akosh was Superb. The views were just amazing over looking Miami. I highly recommend this place is a must try thank you very much for this wonderful evening.

Very good option to eat and have a nice time, I recommend making a reservation to eat watching the sunset! This time I went to an event and spoke with Rafael the manager and his receptivity was great! Thanks a lot!

It is a strategic place. We could see the sunset and the moon rise at our table, it is very nice, the service is very good and they have improved their kitchen a lot. Although what is worth there is the sitting that is spectacular

Good was great, service was on point. Very personable staff.

One of the best spots in Miami. The view of the Harbor is simply amazing. Great for a romantic dinner. A pretty complete wine cellar.

It is always a pleasure to be here at Rusty Pelican.

Excellent service and good food although a bit pricey. I had the Surf and Turf, was decent but the lobster was dry. Not a large menu, but sufficient. The server was real nice and attentive. Nice environment.

Worst service. Overpriced food and they take a lifetime to serve it. Food is okay

Nothing good about the food and service at this place. The view of the night Miami is gorgeous, but that's it.

Unbeatable view! Food, drinks and service are all good, just expensive, but it's worth it.

This place preserves the Old Miami feel, such a trustworthy establishment to experience waterfront dining although I sat inside due to the winds. The inside views were still great. The gin and tonic was so good, I took a picture of the recipe, knowing that I can't really replicate but hey, worth a shot. If you are still wary of crowds, then I suggest outdoor seating only as inside it was buzzing with people. Food was delicious.

Terrible service, overpriced and the food gave me cramps.

I did not attend this time, but a year ago we went and was very disappointed. Not what we remembered from years ago

Very nice place, good service but I expected more in service. Food ia good.

Amazing brunch for top dollar. The bay vistas alone are worth the price.

Michael is an amazing server!!!!!! Views and food was amazing!!! I recommend sitting outside looking at the view of the ocean!!!!

We celebrated my son's graduation from college and had an amazing experience. Staff was attentive and friendly. See ya guys again soon!

Nice view of Miami and this is probably all.
If you do not sit on the street then this very view you have to enjoy through dirty windows
Maintenance is normal
But the food is more than mediocre while the prices for main dishes are very high. We took a snack of squid in deep-fried, and hot lobster. I can not advise neither that nor another

The view of the Miami skyline is amazing. The food and service is great.

We went to enjoy their terrace during the reopening of restaurants, however we were all bitten by fleas on our legs, creating a horrible experience. They should take better care of their facilities

First and foremost, customer service was a 10/10 !!! Service was fast. Can't wait to go again !!

If you are looking for a place with a great view, this is the place. That being said, for someone like me, food at a restaurant is equally important. I could eat at a hole-in-the-wall kinda places if the food is good. Rusty Pelican's food is absolutely terrible. My husband and I ordered the Mediterranean mussels and short rib empanadas for starters and they they were both so bad. Both dishes were extremely sweet and not something we preferred. But compared to the entrees we got, the starters were god sent. We ordered a Crab Cake Benedict and a crab rancheros and the crab meat had gone bad and neither of us could eat our food. The food here isn't cheap and we were highly disappointed that we couldn't enjoy our expensive meal.

The atmosphere is fantastic...The service is out of the world....The food and drinks are not very expensive but are tops....

Wow amazing view and god to share with friends or family...

The service was excellent and the food very delicious
Thanks to the service Person Fantastic
I love this restaurant and the service the best

Nothing special about the food. You are paying for the bay view experience.

Great, peaceful, beautiful, personal time with hubby.. Good price, great appetizerz..

Good food and a beautiful view. Nice get away from brickell.

All good. Tasty food. Good service. The view it's great.

I love this restaurant. Great experience. Nice services and good food. Good wine. New year, valentine, any occasion. It will be always the right place.

What you are paying for is the location. Sure, they service might be nice as well but you go to a restaurant to eat too. And the food is simply not worth the money unfortunately. Very great location for a romantic occasion though!

Excellent place, good food and A1 attention. A nice view of the city.

I love The Pelican. Best views in Miami good food and service

It is one of my favorite places, good view good atmosphere and rich food.

Amazing service and great views! It was a party of 10, but we did not experience any major wait time for the food to come out. Great experience!

Highly recommended! Incredible views from the Miami Skyline! It is an elegant place and the food tastes and looks pretty good! I recommend to make a reservation before going

You can NEVER go wrong with this place! If you want Miami vibe, gorgeous views and excellent food and drinks, this is the place! It's definitely pricey but worth it!

I love the place for me it is the best restaurant with a view of Miami.

We Miami Ricky Rose' baby A*k*A Mississippi #228

Best Miami coastline view, complemented with great food and service! Needs to be experienced by everyone....

Very expensive for taste. Food arrives cold. And they charged me $ 65 for a claw of sangria. Too. The attention was good

At this location, we had a nice time. It was a wise choice. The food and service were both superb. I'm interested in everything, and I plan to return soon.

We went to celebrate our friend's birthday; the corn bread was delicious, food was fair, but the place it's so nice!! The service took like one hour but overall it a place to go again!!

Was there some years ago but cannot forget the experience, first of all the trip to the key never been on a bridge so high and long, was very exiting to get there.
The place so nice, inside and outside. Had to wait some time before order cause was a business dinner and went out to sit down and chat, watch the sea and city at evening. It was so close and beautiful but felt so far at same time, surrounded by the sea.
The food and service were great, hope can go back someday.

All good. Tasty food. Good service. The view it's great.

Been around a long time... must be doing something right.
