Rusty Pelican Restaurant, Newport Beach

We had not been to this restaurants in 3 or 4 years. Things have changed. The caesar salad had little taste. The swordfish was oily, smelled very fishy and both of us agreed that it was one of the worse pieces of swordfish we have had. The mashed potatoes were runny and at most one spoonfull served under the swordfish. Their green beans side dish was barely cooked and it had the hard ends still attached. Dessert was good and the service was good. Overall, we're not going back anytime soon

Ooooh Soooo GOOD!!! The freshest fish in town! and that's an understatement. Great water views & very cute waitresses.

Definitly five stars for their service, food, and view. Try the fish skewers.

All around AWESOME!! At first I thought the prices were outrageous. I guess I'm used to seasonal veggies ALWAYS being carrots, broccoli & cauliflower, 23 dollars for fish & veggies that I eat at home twice a week!!?? To my delight & suprise my Mahi Mahi came with white corn nibblettes, green beans, red & yellow cherry tomatoes in a light butterry sauce. The over-flow of the lemon sauce from the fish made it taste THAT MUCH better! My husband ordered the steak & mashed potato which was, again, VERY delicious. French fried onions topped his NY strip, cooked to perfection...his style, well done. This means NO BLOOD anywhere at any time. Personally I would've had mine med. rare. The potatoes had a light taste, not drowning in butter. My only complaint is about their bread. Way too much butter. I could hear my heart beating in my ears after eating half a stick. Other than the bread I enjoyed the friendly staff, prompt & attentive service, great tasting drinks...ladies I recommend the mango mai tai or the pomarita, and excellent food. Price is well worth it. Also, anywhere you sit, there's a great view =) Our choice was the bar, overlooking everything!

What a great patio...can't wait to go back!: Great service.......awesome atmosphere! Just loved sitting out on the patio eating sashimi and watching the boats. Great food here.

The best view restaurant, the best food & service in southern californis. Their food is out of this planet.

Best brunch ever. Awsome view and friendly and nice staff.

Great place for brunch and dinner. awsome bay views. Kim the manager always does a great job. Dave is the best waiter i have run in to. I have been going to this place for the last 15 years never a bad meal or service.

Great tasty food with very awsome views. Friendly and fast service. Try the sashimi it is the best or the salmon stuffed with spinach.
