We've been to this restaurant a couple of times. It is a romantic place - In good weather you can eat outside and watch the sun go down on Miami across the way. A little more expensive than we usually go for. They did have early bird specials which were a bit more reasonable.
We went on Valentine's Day in 2001 (forgetting that it was Valentine's Day) and the place was packed to the gills and they had to have valet parking because the parking lot was full. They lock the gates to the parking lot after the restaurant closes at night. So if you park here for the marina at night you won't be able to get your car in the morning.
For some reason (maybe they don't want boat people in the restaurant), there is no way you can come here by boat as the docks do not have enough water to float a boat and there are rocks right off the restaurant.
Open: MON-THU 11:30 am-11 pm.
FRI-SAT 11:30 am-12 am.
SUN 11:30 am-11 pm.
For Valentine's Day they had a special which included everything - everything meant you got wine or champagne with the meal. We ate outside which was a little chilly. You wanted to warm yourself on the candle at the table. It was also so dark we had to borrow a flashlight from the waiter to read the menu. Leave a Comment

The Rusty Pelican is practically an institution. Its located on the water off Key Biscayne, a pretty island community which juts eastward of Miami and is separated by a causeway.
Visiting the restaurant alone is worthwhile, even if you don't eat here, which you should. A garden walkway fronts the entrance into this two story restaurant, giving it a relaxed feel. At times, schools of dolphins swim past the dock area. Its also nice on the rare chilly night as fires are lit outside.
The food here as great as the atmosphere. Cozy booths and tables with a view of the water, its casual and romantic at the same time. The seafood is always fresh, the salads are delicious and the bread is awesome. And no meal at the Rusty Pelican would ever be complete without their amazing Key Lime Pie.

Located on the Rickenbacker Causeway, on the way to Key Biscayne. Perfect for a Sunday brunch as you travel further into Key Biscayne for the day.
Rated #1 in Key Biscayne, it has good food - though quality seems to have gone down lately.
What is lacks in quality (still good - just not as good as it used to be), it makes up for with views of entire Miami skyline.
What could bemore Miami than sitting on a marina watching people water ski and wind surf as you sip mimosas.
Night times, the sky line takes on a whole new look with bright lights, and smaller boats sillhuetted against the shimmering lights on the water.
Prime Rib and Lobster are very good here. Prime Rib is juicy and cooked to perfection.
Sunday Brunch is a huge affair with endless dishes and large dessert table.
Try to get outside seating.
Reservations strongly recomended; specially during special events such as Mother's Day, Valentines and Holidays.

SO,.....My fiance and I hosted a party of around 25 at the Rusty Pelican. First of all, Fantastic Views of water and city! Now, Here's what you get if you book a big party at this restaurant....Unattentive service, Unapologetic and unsympathizing Management, and half-decent food. First, they didn't have enough tables for us, and we stood around for a good 20 minutes. I had to eventually get the manager to help with this. Once we were seated. Wine service and apps were timely. Unfortunately, Water service wasn't done at all! Coffee and dessert took a very long time to receive and wasn't refilled. Only half of the guests who requested coffee were even served to begin with. And forget about trying to locate the waiter. Not only did he have our table of 25, he also had several other tables at the same time!!!!! I couldn't believe it. Anyway, Romantic? Yes. Nice atmosphere? Absolutely. Service? No way, Jose! Would we go back? I'd have to think about it.........Def. not with a big table.
Filet Mignon was good. Cheese bread great. Lobster tough/rubbery but most guests said they enjoyed it. Wine was delish. Coffee was watered down and not that hot.
