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!

Not sure. Maybe the main dishes are good? I was hungry for some afternoon snack. Walked by and ordered the Carolina crab bisque to go. The portion was very very small for $10. I finished it in less than 5 spoons. It's rather salty too. The atmosphere seemed very nice with a great view of the water.

Every dish was exceptional! The wedge salad had a hint of smoky flavor and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was quite lovely getting to sit by the window and look at the water.

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!

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!
