The Rusty Pelican is a classic Tampa seafood-and-steaks place located directly on the waters of Tampa Bay. This casually elegant restaurant serves up fresh-from-the-water fare that does for the taste buds what the restaurant's panoramic views do for the eyes. The Rusty Pelican makes a memorable first impression, but what truly keeps folks coming back is the food. Try the Rocky Point Grouper topped with fresh asparagus, Beggars Salmon wrapped in phyllo and stuffed with crab or Shrimp Scampi Rustico with angel hair pasta. Even the steaks, a handful of which are prepared table-side, garner high praise! The Rusty Pelican is also a well-known event location, hosting weddings and other events for up to 300 guests.
