Rusty Pelican - Tampa

The ambience is genuinely great. The servers at the bar our wonderful. They created a wonderful jalapeno tequila drink... The brussel sprouts are absolutely divine. I was a bit disappointed in my scalloped dinner there wasn't much flavor at all. Unsure if they just missed a seasoning or what. Overall though it was a great experience. We would definitely go back next time we visit.

Our server Marina was amazing, she definitely made our 1st experience wonderful. Food was good. My steak cook perfect. Not a fan of the potatoes, could b something more delicate. And my pouch egg over cook. Dessert was excellent. And the mimosas were delicious. My husband and love our brunch dates.

Amazing! Don’t hesitate to come eat here. We are food snobs since we lived in Philly and LA and are both good chefs at home. The fresh seafood, atmosphere and server and staff are superb! They make you feel so special and like they have all the time in the world to explain the menu and answer questions. The food? So fresh and flavorful and nothing overdone. Carmen is amazing! We are coming back and we almost never find a place that checks all the boxes but The Rusty Pelican checks ALL the boxes!

I googled waterfront brunch and decided to give this place a try. It's the sister restaurant to Whiskey Joe's which is nearby. It was a busy so I recommend reservations. I was solo so I lucked out by getting a table. There was plenty of available seating at the bar, however. Nice place for private parties, weddings, etc. The seafood tower was deliciously fresh. The lobster on the tower was from the warm waters of Honduras so do not expect the same taste as Maine lobster. The dining room host was an excellent host. My server O., paid little to no attention to me. But I will be back to try the dinner menu. The restrooms need a little TLC. Otherwise I'd give 5 stars
