Wonderful night at the Rusty Pelican. We came on the last night of our trip and wish we’d found it earlier. Our server really elevated the whole night- she was charming and fun. We had clams and mussels for appetizer and everyone loved it. Dinner entrees were salmon, shrimp scampi, Chilean sea bass (the special) and sword fish and equally delicious. Very fresh and cooked perfectly. Desserts were just fine but nothing special. Thank you for a lovely night!

The food was amazing, service was excellent. It was cold in there because they had the doors open. Could have been warmer on a chilly day.
