Ordered a wedge salad appetizer which came out wilted and looked like it had been sitting in the fridge for days. We finished our drinks and left.

The food was very good I had swordfish and my wife had salmon. The place was packed but the wait staff keep up and service was very good. Good as usual

A lovely early dinner with our daughter's new fiancé. We sat outside and were treated to a gorgeous sunset and a parade of yachts on the calm harbor waters. Perfect evening.

Ambiance and service very good. Food not so. Hamburger was very very dry. Bun dry and hamburger stiff and dry. I asked for medium cooked. Ginger cod just ok as well as chicken piccata just ok. They did comp the hamburger. The garlic bread and the fried asparagus was very good.

Our server, Blake was always anticipating our needs and all the food was delicious. We love the garlic bread wet/soggy with garlic & butter!

My friend ordered the large wedge salad which she loved and took home leftovers. I had a blackened sole with a unique sauce which was excellent. Blake was our server and did a great job!

Food and service was great. It's a restaurant we ensure we go to each time on vacation here, never disappoints.

I got an email saying my 65.00 was expiring so I went to eat there AB's then was told it was 65 points not money; but they presented it like currency so I got duped. Annoyed. And bar was super slow kept getting food before drinks

One of THE best meals I have had !!! From the starters to the dessert, the view, the service - amazing! One thing to note - it is valet only $10/car. Had I known, we would've taken one car instead of three ...

Very good for an early dinner. Food and service especially good. Great view of harbor. Later dining also excellent and noise still moderate.

Lunch on the patio was lovely. The fish was perfectly prepared. Shared lobster Mac & Cheese as a side an OMG! It's been around a long time but still excellent! Highly recommended,

Rusty pelican is our favorite place to go. We love the ambience, the food, and the service. We have been to Rusty Pelican over 100 times! Our waiter, Levi, is absolutely the best! He takes care of us and anticipates our every need.

We arrived a bit earlier than our reservation but got a table fairly quick. Appetizers and drinks came soon. And dinner was delicious.

When we arrived at the restaurant, everything was in readiness for our party of 7. The wait staff was most attentive and gave us plenty of time to chat since some of our party had just flown in to So Cal and the rest of us hadn't been together in awhile. After our order, the meals arrived in a timely fashion and we enjoyed our afternoon very much. We all would recommend a trip to the Rusty Pelican to anyone who asks.
