    Went Friday night - crowded - had scallops that were dry and had no taste but partner had halibut and said it was good. Table service was reasonable but had to ask for bread in order to get some.

    Hit or miss on the food. I felt they rushed bringing it out and then rushed taking the plates. Didn't get to enjoy the great view given their rush!

    Though slightly overpriced, the food combined with the presentation and view more than makes up for the $$$ price tag.

    The food is great! Service was slow :( but the $50 Margarita...is NOT worth it! The strawberry mojito was 10x better.

    New menu new look. I like the interiors but at first I missed the shells, rope and bottles. Oh well, nothings lasts forever. No more warm toasty cheese bread nor creame brule. New desserts are OK.

    When you come with a party of five, they'll give you a table for 4; not nice for such a "fancy" restaurant.

    Do not park just outside the sign for Rust Pelican. It's very poorly marked, but it's by permit only. You will get 'booted ' and have to pay $89 to get your car. Quite a scam.

    The view, the cheese bread, and my prime rib were great. The waiter however was unfriendly, unattentive, scurried away before we could finish ordering drinks, and brought out one incorrect entree.

    The music at the bar does not fit the place. Sinatra would be a much better choice.
