    If I could give more than five stars to ocean 48 I absolutely would. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful. Service was extraordinary from being greeted at the front door to the host stand to the servers who waited on us. We were seated in a private Booth overlooking the kitchen. So fun! For appetizers, we got the hanging bacon, which was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted and the heirloom tomato and crab salad, which was delicious. Steaks were cooked to perfection and their whipped potatoes are creamy and delicious. And let’s not forget the amazing desserts. We had the peanut butter pie and the Keylime pie, and both were truly wonderful. And last, but not least the drinks,. We had cocktails and wine all in all this was a 10 star meal and we can’t wait to go back.

    Wonderful night at the Rusty Pelican. We came on the last night of our trip and wish we’d found it earlier. Our server really elevated the whole night- she was charming and fun. We had clams and mussels for appetizer and everyone loved it. Dinner entrees were salmon, shrimp scampi, Chilean sea bass (the special) and sword fish and equally delicious. Very fresh and cooked perfectly. Desserts were just fine but nothing special. Thank you for a lovely night!
