    Very good food, but impossibly LOUD music all through the restaurant, making it difficulty to have a conversation. Wait staff polite but not all that efficient.

    I have been dining at Rusty Pelican for over 20 years and it has only improved with time. They have done some key remodels that brought the place to a more upscale feel inside and out. I usually dine outside and this past experience was wonderful. Service was fantastic, food was exceptional and everyone enjoyed their time. I recommend the Imperial seafood tower, it is excellent for 4 people.

    We had not gone to Rusty pelican in a while and my sister gave me a100. Certificate to go so We decided to take my two sons and their wives. I made a reservation for 4:00 on a Saturday. They did not seat us until 4:50. They wanted to stick us in a booth and my son's and I are big fellas not to mention there would not be any space for my grandchild. I finally asked for the manager and he very kindly sat us at a table for 6 with sides for a baby. It was not until 5:45 that we finally received a response from a sweet waitress she would be serving us. the experience until we ordered one hour and forty minutes later was terrible. Our waitress Valentina took care of our table wonderfully without ever knowing what had occurred. She gets most of the credit. I'll have to think about whether we will return.

    We had the short rib benedict and French toast. It was excellent! And, the server Pedro was outstanding. He went out of his way to ensure all was ok. We are repeat patrons at Rusty Pelican. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants.
