This restuant is good for all occasions. I have visited in different times, the one i liked the most , was for dinner. Try to go around 6:30 when the sun is going down, it's one of the most beautiful sunsets i have ever seen in miami. Very Romantic. Try to also get a window seat , and enjoy the... more

As a Miami native, I have heard and driven by the Rusty Pelican a million times. Some friends from Germany were visiting so I decided to take them there for their first dinner in my hometown as I was sure the view was going to be awesome. Indeed last night's view was wonderful but it's too bad that service was... more

We chose Rusty Pelican for dinner because it was listed as #1 out of 25. While everyone was friendly and helpful, we had 3 different waiters. The food was very boring and mundane. The choices on the menu were standard and had the possibility of being great, but everything (including the bread) was over saturated with butter or sauces. We... more

The actual restaurant is great, nice setup, classic seafood restaurant decor, beautiful outdoor terrace with firepits and a jaw dropping view of Miami... Everything outside of that is a complete and utter failure. Last night my wife and I made a reservation for 8:30, we showed up and were promptly offered a window table or a table outside on the... more

I loved this place. Go here for the most beautiful view of the sunset, and ask to sit by the window. This is a 1980's seafood restaurant; you will feel like you are on a movie set due to the excessive decor! White table linen and candles and fresh flowers! How fabulous! We ordered the cold fish appetizer for two... more

went there for Sunday brunch after a bike ride...despite its reputation we found it was over-rated. my friend didn't like her mimosa and at the price we paid, wasn't worth it. next time we'll do brunch ourselves. more

There are many things I love about the Rusy Pelican. The views from the restaurant are unbeatable. The food is always wonderful. They have the best creme brulee in Miami. The brunch is awesome, with very reasonable prices. Highly recommended. more

VERY disappointment with our dining experience last night. We had a very apathetic waiter who was never to be found. He never once asked us how we were doing or checked on us. He incorrectly placed our order and didn't really apologize or even attempt to make amends. We waited over 1 HR for our entrees. Guests who arrived after... more

We arrived with great expectations and as everyone else has said, the view from this restaurant is amazing. The staff had taken the time to decorate for the evening and the setting was very romantic. The wait staff was completely overwhelmed on this Valentine's evening and the service was very poor. The menu was 4-courses and ranged from $55.00 (Salmon)... more
