    We had a 9pm reservation and we were called at 8:30 pm to confirm we would not be late because the kitchen was closing at 9:30. We rushed to make sure we would not be a minute late. However, when we arrived at 9pm we had to wait 15 min to be seated. We also sat at the table for another 10 min with no waitress. So now it’s almost 9:30 and I’m stressed because they called me to tell me to not be late because the kitchen closes at 9:30 and our order hasn’t even been taken yet. Maybe it was an off night but I wasn’t impressed. The waitress was very friendly, but maybe had too many tables. The snapper was amazing as always.

    We were given multiple recommendations for this place. I’m hoping we were just there on a terribly off day. We were there 35 minutes with only iced tea on our table. The oysters were good, but they don’t exactly cook them. The sushi wasn’t even fully wrapped, my lobster tail was so rubbery I only ate half. Salad came out with our dinner instead of before. We spent just over $200 with no alcohol or dessert and just expected more than what we got. Based on the recommendations we were given and the other reviews, I wouldn’t tell you not to go, but it’s definitely not one we’d give a second chance to. I’m not sure if we’ve both had such a terrible meal. To be fair, we did not complain to anyone, but we do think our waiter realized we were not enjoying anything beyond the view. It’s highly possible they would’ve tried to make it right, but we were already there so long, we just wanted to leave. We experienced the scene where more than one table sat after us had food before our order was even taken. We made jokes to each other about it and made the best of it, but when the food actually arrived and tasted as bad as it did, we decided to share the experience.

    The appetizers were great, but we found the main course to be a bit bland. We went close to kitchen closing so not sure if that was a factor. Very disappointed in the snapper and the lobster risotto. Drinks were amazing though. The apps and drinks make it for me.

    Despite the place is very beautiful! We can’t take a calm time cause the service! The waiter during all the dinner time pressed to drink and eat quickly! What would be a good time changed into a problem for us, cause the waiter was in a hurry and would like that us as well! He also bothered during a sunset photograph time asked us ready to the check… Unhappyly, we never come back and our friends as well!

    The ambience and scenery is really nice and the food is good but not for the price. I made a reservation for my birthday and confirmed it online but they still called me 3+ times to confirm starting from 4 hrs before until 10 min before which made me feel like they wouldn't have my table. The last time they called me the lady hung up on me as I was telling her we were on the way and even when we came on time we still had to wait 5 min. The waiter was nice enough but overall I didn't enjoy the service for the price and they waited until 40 min after they closed to close our bill. And the only thing they gave me for my birthday was a place card. They did not even sing happy birthday to me even though they did to 3 other tables around me.

    We sailed into Yacht Stadium for dinner. Had a 4:30 reservation to beat the rush and the place was not busy. What a poor experience. Better to have gone into Miami. Would not recommend and will not stop back. We ordered a dish designed to be shared by 2 plus 3 other plates for the group and a side in case the plate for two wasn’t enough. Also ordered drinks. The shared plate arrived 15 minutes after the other 3 so that was inconvenient. Waiter didn’t even give us a heads up. Then the side was missing. And no bread like the other tables. We also had no water service after the initial pour. For such a high-end atmosphere they missed the mark by a lot. Were they under-staffed? Did they put us at an under-utilized table? What a mess.

    Service was very slow. My daughters caesar salad and sushi arrived 15 minutes after three us received our main courses which were luke warm and overcooked. There are many other excellent restaurants on Key Biscayne so i would take a pass on the Rusty Pelican.

    Arrogance abounds amongst the staff. -Did not honor reservation nor request to eat outdoors. Eventually shown to a table in the storage area by kitchen rear door. Not kidding. Restaurant manager was so embarrassed his hostess sat anyone there that he did not charge us for our completely unchiiled and uneatible "seafood platter". Unwilling to chance anymore food or remain at such a dismal table, we left.

    Food, drinks and view are spectacular. I always get the Snapper and am never disappointed. Just be prepared to spend a few hours as drinks, appetizer, mains and dessert could take a couple of hours (but well worth it!)
