Incredible experience here. Our dinner was amazing from the shrimp starter to the fresh and delicious fish entrees (plus shared risotto and brussel sprouts) to the complimentary birthday cheese cake... everything was perfect. All topped off by the beautiful view of the marina and attentive and informative waiter. Highlight of our first trip to Newport Beach!

Staff was very accommodating to our requests. We had set a reservation but arrived early - staff sat us as soon as we arrived. Waitress was knowledgeable of menu and wine. We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday & staff surprised him with dessert upon private request. This is one place I would love to come back to during future visits! The food was delicious and portioned perfectly!

What an amazing setting! Spectacular views!
My coworker and I wanted to get something to eat after work. Being here in beautiful Newport Beach, we had plenty of places to choose from. I had heard a lot of praises from my clients over the years about The Rusty Pelican, so we decided to check it out.
I'm glad we did! It was amazing! With excellent food and service!
Our server, Brenda, was phenomenal!
She made great recommendations, and she really knew a lot about the menu, about the wines they have, and about the desserts! She was very friendly and made sure our water glasses were always full.
My compliments to the chef! 👨🍳 The dishes were not only beautifully prepaid, but they were cooked perfectly! All the food, from the shrimp appetizer to the desserts, was a delightful taste sensation!
I will be back again and again!
Thanks to all of The Rusty Pelican staff that make this restaurant top-notch!
Have a peaceful day!

What a beautiful location for a restaurant. I love the seafood here very upscale and delicious. If the view does not do it the food definitely will. Ordered the Chilean sea bass and man it was out of this world. Definitely recommend 10/10

Love love loved this place. First the biggest shout out to Sam our waitress, she simply was AMAZING. Fast, responsive, and nice. The food was perfect, started with garlic bread: served warm, garlicky, buttery and simply yummy. We tried the seafood pasta and chicken piccata which both had the most delicious sauce (lick the plate deliciousness level), the grilled sea bass was simple yet cooked to perfection. We finished with a to-die-for warm flourless chocolate cake with raspberry coulis served with a giant scoop of vanilla ice cream. If I could come up with one complain that would be the kids burger was too plain and dry but good size.. The other downside is that you have to valet the car for $8 (no self parking) and the valet staff have a bit of attitude. Overall I cannot wait to go back and try more of their menu.
