    We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary here as this is where we had our reception 14 years ago. We came to catch the sunset and it didn’t disappoint! To start I had their Old Fashioned, which was a pleasant surprise as it had Buffalo Trace as their bourbon of choice. From there we share the crab cake appetizer. This came well made, full of crab, with a pink sauce that complimented the flavors perfectly. The crab cake laid on a bed of tasty corn and peppers succotash. As our main we shared a dish for two. It was a combination of delicious offerings that I can do justice with my word. Hopefully the photos do all the talking. It had a NY Strip Reserve, whole fried snapper, lobster tail on a bed of risotto with large shrimp, 50/50 mashed potatoes and arugula salad! It was truly an enjoyable meal that had a tasty mix of flavors. It was great being back and an enjoyable trip down memory lane!

    We were very disappointed and will not be celebrating any special occasion in near future. The restaurant does not care even if you’re celebrating your 1st anniversary. Such a disappointment, we even got married at Rusty Pelican and was looking forward to our special day.

    For a tourist friendly huge restaurant we were pleasantly surprised. The view of Miami and the bay is beautiful. But the food was excellent. Wonderful Chilean sea bass, excellent salads, very accomplished service from Omar. We will return with friend and family in tow.
