Rusty Pelican - Tampa

writes...
  • Nestled along the shore of Old Tampa Bay is a fine dining oasis where locals love to meet and tourists love to discover. For 25 years, The Rusty Pelican has served Tampa Bay with elegant cuisine and rustic charm. Located at the southernmost tip of Pelican Island, this restaurant boasts a quiet setting for lunch and dinner yet is accessible from major roadways and just minutes from downtown Tampa. The restaurant was built to endure, with thick hand sewn wooden beams and a knotty 8" hardwood deck complete with a stone fireplace and elegant handmade benches. Once inside, an intimate seating area acts as a gathering place which leads to the dining area, piano lounge and private banquet rooms.
