   We had a wonderful time celebrating Mother’s Day with our family! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The service—from the valets and hostess to the servers and everyone behind the scenes—was exceptional. Everyone went above and beyond to make the day special, and we truly appreciated the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you for making it such a memorable celebration! Highly recommend an old miami staple!

   Went for Mother’s Day Special brunch. It was fantastic. The food was great. The service was great. The view of the Miami Skyline was icing on the cake. So glad we went.

   We have celebrated Mothers Day 3 years in a row at Rusty Pelican now. We absolutely love it! The only problem we had this time is we had 12:30 reservations and apparently there is no way on Open Table to make a request with the reservation. The hostess told me it’s just a request but isn’t gurnateeded, however when you make a reservation in person they can reserve a specific table to meet your request. We wanted a window view and waited an extra 30-50 minutes for it. It was worth the wait, but ridiculous if you had a reservation.

   The menu for Mothers Day was preset which we knew it would be. The shareable platters that came out tasted like the food was prepared hours earlier and just got plated and pushed out. Finger sandwiches were starting to go stale and the cinnamon roll was hard…. Breakfast selections were Lobster Benedict and it was not good, chef wasn’t tasting what he was pushing out. Prime rib Benedict was good. Service was very good but not matter how good the service, you can’t overcome mediocre food. At $90 plus per person before tax and tip we expected more. Won’t be go back next year……..

   Nice Views........and That's it! Mother's day brunch food was ample in quantity but the quality of almost everything was mediocre to poor. Service was horrifically bad-slow, forgetful, mistimed, didn't explain anything, forgot items of service gear multiple times. A terrible experience overall but any objective measure. Go for a photo but eat somewhere else!

   The food was pretty meh. The table with the tomahawk is flat out a ripoff. I spent $450 and wasn’t happy with what I ate.

   We had a 7:30 reservation for over a month. When we arrived not only was our table not ready for our party of 8 they set us in a small booth with a table added to it. It was extremely uncomfortable. The service was very slow and we missed picking up one of our elder graduation guest because of all the delays.
