The service and food were excellent. We had an early dinner, so the restaurant was not as busy. We've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Location and views are magnificent.

Lala’s service at Rusty Pelican was truly unique and exceptional! We enjoyed the sea bass and Atlantic salmon—both were delicious—and the maracuya drink was a standout. Even the kids’ mac and cheese was a hit. Lala’s attentiveness and warm personality made the experience unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!

Good to do once, overall way overpriced. For 4 adults and 2 children $750 its not worth it. You can go to a good steak place and het better quality and value easily.. Ps the Chilean sea bass was excellent

Absolutely excellent food and vibes. Perfect meal. Wait staff is friendly & attentive. The grilled octopus legs & sea bass were so fresh. The plantain mash was phenomenal. The cornbread was a nice surprising starter.
