    Very bad experience! I was so excited to dine with Rusty Pelican Feb. 18 and previously had two business dinner experiences whenever I’m in town.so could not wait to take my girlfriend to experience it. We arrived early and waited in the bar for our table to open. There was poor to no communication from hostess staff on what was going to happen requiring me to walk back and check in again like one would expect at a red lobster experience. Then we were seated next to two parents and an adolescent boy who sang, moaned & groaned for an hour while not watching videos or playing games on his mobile device. Neither parent bothered to quiet or restrain their child even when he ran around the table multiple times playing. They were too busy on their own mobile devices to be bothered with parenting their child. So expectations of a romantic nice dinner in a fancy restaurant were dashed b/c it became a day care center. The waiter told us he got a 25% gratuity which was nice for him but management allowed this type of environment choosing not to annoy big spenders. I will not go back.

    The restaurant is beautifully located in the bay with an astonishing view. The service could have been better especially when prices are blown up. It was my husband’s birthday and he asked for a margarita on the rocks with salt. The margarita took about 20 minutes to arrive and when it did was without the salt. We ordered crab cake and octopus as starter. The crab cake was very synthetic. For main dish we decided to share the tomahawk steak with lobster, crab legs, and mashed potatoes with shrimp. The steak was ordered medium well. We got it well done. Lastly, no happy birthday song. The end!

    Hello Arisleidy, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed our location and view at Rusty Pelican - Miami. We apologize for the delay in serving the margarita with salt and the delay in celebrating your husband's birthday. We're sorry the steak was not cooked to your preference. We'll address these issues with our team. We hope to serve you better in the future. Best, Rusty Pelican - Miami Management Team
