    We celebrated my wife’s birthday by booking a reservation for Sunday early evening at 5 p.m. This timing worked out great for us, because the restaurant was not busy and no one was seated near us. We were given the table for two right on the water. We split the beet salad which was excellent and plenty of food for two. My wife had the halibut, which was exquisite. I had the lobster tail, which was excellent. The sommelier basically gave us 2 for 1 glasses of a French white burgundy. Before dinner we each had one cocktail which both did not chintz on the alcohol content. We were given a free tiny appetizer and a free birthday dessert with two complimentary glasses of champagne. Everything was delicious. The servers worked together to provide just the right amount of attention. It was truly a fine dining experience in every sense of the word. We will return for special occasions.

    I arranged a birthday lunch for my friend who drive down from LA. We sat at a lovely table on the deck overlooking the water and boats. We order the oysters with shallots which were chilled and delicious. Then we split two sushi rolls and the fish tacos (3 in a plate with black beans) . Our waitress was delightful and everyone from the hostess to the busboys were terrific! I think it was worth every penny and I’ll be back again and again. It’s a favorite of mine and I’ve been coming for over 40 years!! 🍣🐬😄💕

    Rusty Pelican never disappoints! Thank you to our extraordinary waiter, Joseph. He was attentive and thoughtful. We were chilled sitting inside, and he brought my guest and me blankets! Outstanding food as always. The Alaskan halibut on a bed of mashed potatoes was delicious! Cold, fresh crisp salad was excellent as well. Thank you Joseph for your high quality service! We will be back!
