Rusty Pelican offers a lively waterfront dining experience with energetic vibes. The restaurant's lively atmosphere and quality dishes attract many visitors. Guests appreciate the friendly staff and diverse menu options, including excellent starters like calamari and garlic bread, as well as flavorful main courses such as Sea bass and Halibut with beurre blanc and risotto. Although the space is small with tables close together, the beautiful view and excellent service make it a popular spot. The upstairs bar area provides a charming view of the harbor and sunset, with a good wine list and a fun vibe created by the bartender. Visitors often find the food delicious, though some feel it’s not extraordinary enough to return solely for the dishes. Overall, it’s a recommended place for a great meal by the water with a lively, welcoming environment.
