Rusty Pelican

Restaurant

Quote:

This nice southseas decorated restaurant is located in a priviledged area, facing the city of Miami in the distance and is particularly charming at night when all the city lights up. It features a Sunday brunch and also has a children's menu. A family restaurant with gracious service. The grilled salmon or any other fish is spectacular.
