What an absolutely gorgeous restaurant and impeccable experience we had at the Rusty Pelican! Pedro was just the best server and we felt like weโd known him forever! He recommended several different things, all of which were delicious. We had the conch fritters, the dinner for 2, and the sticky toff
I recently had an unforgettable dining experience at Rusty Pelican in Tampa, Florida. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance and stunning waterfront views set the perfect tone for the evening. However, what truly made our visit exceptional was our amazing waitress, Grace.

Nice atmosphere, good food and nice staff. The happy hours at the bars are also very good for the price. The coconut shrimp and crab cakes are also very tasty. I would definitely come back there if I visit Tampa again.
The service was Excellent! We enjoyed Pabloโs service, heโs incredibly knowledgeable specifically with wine selections. Food presentation was elegant and vibrant. Very good restaurant options for a special celebration.
Our first impression was kinda disappointed since hostess lady (the older lady) didnโt make us feel welcome. However, from that point forward everything was up to our expectations. I brought my wife here for birthday dinner and she loved the place. Grace our server was amazing, she did a phenomenal

Rusty Pelican has solidified its status as a local staple over the years, and after my recent visit, it's abundantly clear why this establishment has stood the test of time. It boasts a perfect blend of exquisite cuisine, breathtaking vi
We got brunch and the entire restaurant has nice ambience, even though we didnโt sit next to the window, there was still a beautiful view of the ocean. The calamari was good, and so were the egg benedicts and omelette. The french toast was non traditional and also tasted pretty good. I regret that w
I was dinning alone and Grace made the experience extra special. The food was excellent and the service was very prompt and friendly. Rusty Pelican will always be my favorite restaurant and my visit on Sunday was no exception. The Lobster and Shrimp Risotto was delicious. I also had the wedge salad
I have been coming to Rusty Pelican for 15+yrs. I went one time after COVID and was very disappointed. Last Saturday it was my best friendโs birthday and I decided to try it one more time. We were a group of 12 on a Saturday night. Making the reservation was very easy and pleasant. When we got ther
Grace was our server. She had such a great personality. We were there tonight celebrating my husbandโs birthday. She suggested the Rusty Pelican board for two. There was a large variety of everything. The service was quick and the food was delicious and fresh. She even brought him a slice of cheesec
Spectacular views of Tampa Bay. Excellent service. Grace was a super friendly waitress. I got a little put off by the runny egg (donโt @ me lol) and she noticed my reaction and offered to have the eggs cooked more. Then they were perfect.
Great ambience!

Oh boy! We had the most amazing service from Nydia! She was our waitress and she made our second experience at Rusty Pelican the best! Nydia made sure we loved our food and drinks, and ensured that we were 100% satisfied. The food was perfectly seasoned and fresh. We had a great view of the water,
Hands down the best dining experience of my life. The food, atmosphere, and service were unmatched. We purchased the Rusty Pelican Board for 2 and I donโt think I have ever tasted something so amazing. The steak and seafood were cooked to perfection. The Brussel sprouts and even the salad were some
Rusty Pelican is a very unique & tucked-away waterside restaurant with some great options. Everything from the appetizers to the entree, theough dessert was delicious and fresh. We had a large group & Caesar accommodated our party with Erin. I haven't had encounters with other servers, but these 2 w
Everything in this restaurant is just great! One of the best places you can dine in Tampa. The food is amazing, service is amazing and the atmosphere is a little bit conservative but adequate to the place. You should try to make a reservation but is not that crowed all the time thought.

Visiting this place again after several months. Nothings changed, still an outstanding place to dine. Again I had the Blackened Swordfish atop sweet potatoes, the marriage worked superbly. Coconut shrimp were perfectly cooked and quite tasty. Surf & Turf was excellen
We were seated 15 minutes after our reservation. Our server was nice. He gave us a champagne toast for our anniversary. I liked the view of the bay out of the large windows.
The area where we were seated was almost uncomfortably tight. I'd rather not have the tables so close to each other or sho
This restaurant was phenomenal! The food was amazing and our server, Sara, was incredible! She was kind and gave great suggestions. We couldnโt be happier with our experience! Thanks for a great dinner, Sara! โค๏ธ
