We went on Christmas Eve and were expecting the sunset menu, which was not available. The entrees were overpriced- vegetables for 20.00 and seafood for 29. I have been to other restaurants where if I had spent 49.00 I would have gotten an amazing meal- far more than two "OK" entrees with no sides or desserts offered. Not a great deal for the holidays.

Had a beautiful lunch there. The view is amazing, sits right on Tampa Bay. Loved their coconut shrimp and parmesan risotto. Will definitely come back. Service was excellent.

As everyone knows getting married, even if it is the second time, is very stressful, but if you choose to have your wedding at the Rusty Pelican you will feel like the princess that you should feel like and be practically stress free. The memories that are created by all of the wonderful people that are involved in the planning and implementation of your special day will be a lasting imprint in your mind. I never thought that my wedding day could go off without any problems, I always heard about how this went wrong and that went wrong from other brides but, their mistake, they did not get married at the Rusty Pelican! Our wedding was the most wonderful, beautiful, and stress free experience of my life!!!! From the time we spoke with Don, the wedding planner, to the day we became husband and wife in the beautifully decorated gazebo on the grounds at the Rusty Pelican, to the delicious sit down dinner, to the most fabulous reception, which was in the very back room that over looks the bay, to the excellent wait staff and all the vendors that the Rusty Pelican supplies for you, we were so impressed that we would advise anyone who wants to have their wedding day a day to remember for a life time to contact the Rusty Pelican and let them help you in planning the most memorial day of your life.
