Rusty Pelican never disappoints! Thank you to our extraordinary waiter, Joseph. He was attentive and thoughtful. We were chilled sitting inside, and he brought my guest and me blankets! Outstanding food as always. The Alaskan halibut on a bed of mashed potatoes was delicious! Cold, fresh crisp salad was excellent as well. Thank you Joseph for your high quality service! We will be back!

Of course the Mat Tai is a must. The filet and lobster combo was excellent and will definitely be a repeat! And let’s not forget their famous cheese bread… Unfortunately I requested a booth, which was reserved for us, but a group of guys in front of our table were extremely loud. We moved to a nice window table for two, but always prefer a booth.
