Service is usually good, but this time it was slow for some odd reason. Inside, it's modern decor, large windows featuring the view. The restaurant has tons of free parking though, so no issues. The restaurant is located at the back of a marina, so you drive across the causeway to Key Biscayne, then through a crowded and maze-like marina parking lot. You can also watch countless boats and jet-skiers go by, so it's very pleasant. We ate indoors, which shares the same view. We went for lunch on a weekday, and there were a lot of people sitting at outside tables and taking selfies of the view. So the main thing about this restaurant is the panoramic view across the bay to downtown Miami, it's absolutely beautiful. And finally, about the atmosphere, probably more “energetic” than I’d like it to be. Another tip here: don’t have the sushi although fresh and colorful, the rice was not what you would call sushi’s best. Being mostly seafood, it felt and tasted fresh and nicely cooked. Whereas regarding the latter, and probably consequence of the same overwhelmed staff, cocktails’ taste did not match their look -by far!!! The food, on the other hand, was mostly on the very good tier. ![]() About the former, the amount of people seemed to overwhelm the staff’s capacity, driving waiters to feel distracted and uncoordinated. Moving on to the dinner side of the story, the truth is The Rusty Pelican has some room for improvement, especially regarding service and cocktails. ![]() I’m not quite sure what’s the general word about The Rusty Pelican within locals, but as a visitor to Miami, just the view from this place is worth a visit and can’t wait to be back again and as a tip: aim at being there at sunset!!! Won’t regret it. This place is -definitely- a must-visit place for tourists.
