   The Cajun shrimp starter is the absolute best! The shrimp, the sauce, the bread, it is all a perfectly tasty combination. The coconut shrimp as the entree is a good choice as well.

   This place has seen its time. Manager has no interest in accommodating one’s request

   The Striped Bass was delicious and so fresh. The seafood pasta was excellent.

   Celebrated my man’s birthday here. We ate outside and it was absolutely beautiful. We started with drinks and appetizers (the garlic bread and crab cakes), then enjoyed soup and salad, followed by filet mignon entrees. Our little one enjoyed the pasta and french fries. And to end it all we had the crème brûlée. Another one of our favorite restaurants. Outside dinning wasn’t too cold either. The outdoor heaters definitely kept it nice to dine outdoors. The service was wonderful, very attentive and made our experience another top notch one. We will be back again soon.

   Everything was very good. We order the blackened scallops, coconut shrimp, and fillet with the shrimp scampi! The salted pear martini was good as well!

   The food and the atmosphere is second to none. We were on the patio and enjoy appetizers and main courses that ALL were delicious. The beautiful harbor at our side and the bright sunshine gleaming down was an extra bonus. It was brothers birthday and they surprised him with a piece of delicious cheesecake with fruit that was delicious. Our server was a little forgetful but didn't ruin the experience. The brunch menu is awesome, had both dinner and breakfast items at fair prices.

   Food & service were terrific - Saturday late lunch. We had a couple of older folks in our group who eat out a lot and had not been there before, and they enjoyed their meals and the harbor view. Everyone cleaned their plates and were all smiles. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

   Our waitress Michelle was very pleasant and professional. Loved her cheerful personality. We started with Negronis. The Amarena Wild Cherries were a beautiful addition to the drink. (Not your artificial red candied cherry!) My husband and I shared the crab cakes as an appetizer. They were light and well seasoned. The side of coleslaw with mango added the perfect acidic balance. Delish! Both the house salad and wedge salad were fresh and very good. We ordered mains of the mahi-mahi with mash potatoes and the seared scallops. Both were delicious meals. Portion sizes were generous. Desert was Decadent. We ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Dense, chocolatey and definitely will satisfy any sweet tooth!

    I always love dining at the Rusty pelican. The views are incredible, the weight staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food is super delicious.
