About this business
The name is more than a bit misleading, as The Rusty Pelican, a popular seafood spot, is anything but run-down. The spacious dining room boasts a fabulous view of Biscayne Bay. A la carte entrees include steak, pasta and fresh, delicious seafood. The Sunday buffet brunch is one of the most popular in town, offering a variety of delicious dishes for a reasonable price. Come early to avoid the long wait for a good table.

I took my family from Colombia there to impress them. They WERE impressed with view but I was dismayed at the prices. Dinner for five with two bottles of wine and two appetizers totaled over $425.00 with the tip. (Our waiter was great-he deserved the tip) But one question: Is it usual and customary to sell a bottle of wine that retails for $14.00 at the local winery for $45.00 in this restaurant? Portions are small-my black grouper appeared to be a 6 oz filet-and the food was just okay. Nothing spectacular like you would exp... read more
Mass incredibly delicious food here! Best views by the windows and the water! Church and events held here. I used to work for this company in 2003.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME RESTAURANT THAN USED TO BE ANYMORE! Today My husband and I were invited by our very good friends to Rusty Pelican restaurant at Key Biscayne in Miami, FL. We've been there a few times before, and food, services and overall experience were always great. TODAY after their complete "renovation", including (we think owners), staff, food, decoration, etc) and even when we didn't have to pay for the food,we feel very upset, offended, insulted by what we have found. OVERPRICE, POOR FOOD QUALITY, UNPROFESSIONAL ... read more
OVERPRIECE FOR QUALITY – I have been to the restaurant many times prior to renovation. Our family went recently for my daughter's birthday. The new renovation is beautiful, very modern mid century. I will first say that the starters were delicious and we ordered about 7 of them. Then none of the entrees appealed to me. The ravioly dish was very dissapointing, only 5 of them and not delicious at all. My daughter ordered the whole red snapper. It was tasty but not easy to eat. Over all the restaurant has the most beautiful vie... read more
HORRIBLE SERVICE OVERPRICED – I ve been to the restaurant a couple of times with my family last year before the renovation but this was my boyfriends first time going there. After making a reservation a week and a half in advance and calling in the same day to confirm it, we arrived there on time at 9:30pm and they told us we had to wait like 15 minute. They never even offered us to wait at the bar which was almost empty but after waiting 5 minutes we decided to ask if we could go to the bar and just went. My boyfriend and i... read more
Fine Dining – This a beautiful venue. A rustic setting, nestled away from the traffic, surrounded by tropical flowering and a breathtaking view of the sea from every angle. Beautiful fireplaces, wooded flooring - nice country setting. The staff was wonderful from the reservation to the waiting. Cory was absolutely awesome and that contributed to our pleasant dining experience. The food was wonderful and the servings more than adequate. We brought our own dessert, a beautiful cake for my daughter's graduation. They provided a... read more
Great Wedding on 1/1/11 – We held our daughter's wedding on 1/1/11 using the patio for the ceremony and the left lounge for the buffet reception. The customer service provided by Elsa and Kimberly was fantastic along with the banquet manager who kept the event flowing and all were very accommodating. The planning process and communications improved greatly as we approached our event day. When I considered the volume of events they pull off every day, I understood why they could not respond to my frequent phone calls months p... read more

Christmas Eve Nightmare – We made dinner reservations for 8pm, Christmas Eve. We were seated and ordered our appetizers & entrees by about 8:20pm. At about 9:45pm we started to question the waitress about our food and she said it was coming "right away." 10pm came by and NO FOOD~ A man came to our table and asked us if the manager had come by our table to speak with us, "we said no." Bottom line, no food, we walked out at 10:10pm... No dinner, no explanation as to what was going on! NEVER AGAIN!!! They just extended their le... read more
