    Had a lovely date with my girlfriend. Wish we could’ve sat outside, but it was still lovely. The cornbread was especially delicious

    Our waiter, Christian, was timely, patient and receptive. He explained the menu and cleaned our area promptly between orders. Very good representative of the restaurant.

    Dinning at the Rusty Pelican was enjoyable and the food was well-prepared. All the food came at the appropriate time with no much of a delay. The service was good and noted the staff was well trained. The views were spectacular and remarkable. The only complaint I have is the noise level of the music in the inside of the restaurant. It was excessive and very loud. I could not communicate with the waiter. When asked if it could be turned down, the waiter came back stating that this is the way the manage like it (sic) and it would not lower the volume. The music was more appropriate for a bar than a restaurant and made my party unconformable to dine. Along the subject of noise, A large group of people were raising a ruckus with screaming and yelling. Once again, the staff sis nothing to manage this. If I am paying good money for food and service, I expect to enjoy it in tranquility. The policy for this should be revisited and addressed. It was a wonderful place to enjoy the total atmosphere but without the distractions.

    My family and I went during brunch time to celebrate a birthday and despite being a large table we received very speedy, efficient, and great service from both Thomas & Darwin. Their food and drinks were delicious and the view is just spectacular. We are already planning our next visit real soon.

    Experience was perfect. The only issue was I put a birthday note in my reservation for my Mom’s 75th. The host at the front desk acknowledged that they saw it but no birthday anything at our table or during our experience. Other than that everything was great. Waitress was entertaining, food was great, view and ambience was perfect.

    Great food. It was a throughly enjoyable experience from start to finish. The view of Miami was breathtaking. Our only suggestion would be having items on the menu that could be identified as gluten free. We had to send our waiter back and forth to the kitchen to understand our options. He was very patient and helpful. Some gluten free bread would also add a nice touch.

    Unparalleled views! Wasn’t expecting the food to be good, but it was fantastic. The only negative is that they charge a $9 fee for parking. Wish we had known-we saw many people walking from the marina parking lot as we were leaving.

    Ambiance and views of the city skyline were terrific. Serving staff was good. Food was very mediocre. Ordered tomahawk steak and lobster tail priced at $250, thinking it would be very sizable steak and lobster. Both were very small and tasted average. Shrimp that came with the dish were not fresh. Really need to improve food quality to command that type of pricing.
