Newport's Best Oceanview Restaurant! Rusty Pelican ππ¦
I visit Newport Beach several times a week, and Rusty Pelican is my must-recommend spot! Been here countless times, and tonight's dinner was yet another amazing experience! π½οΈβ¨ This 45-year-old American seafood restaurant blends Mediterranean flavors with modern European cuisine. The elegant ambiance features stunning ocean views and private yachts right outside the window - pure romance! β΅π We started with their signature Newport Crab Cakes - crispy outside, tender inside, paired with refreshing pineapple-mango salsa for incredible texture layers. π¦π For mains: π₯© 6oz Applewood Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon (Surf & Turf) Perfectly cooked, juicy steak with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted broccoli, and fresh tomato. The creamy garlic sauce was divine! π Grilled Salmon with Lobster Cream Sauce Let me paint you a picture: βΈ» Golden-crisp salmon skin giving way to buttery-soft flesh that flakes effortlessly. Luxurious lobster cream sauce - rich yet balanced, with delicate seafood notes. Served with jasmine rice that soaks up all the deliciousness, plus hidden shrimp treasures in the sauce. A lemon wedge provides the perfect bright finish. This dish is ideal for those who prefer "gentle" seafood without heavy flavors. Every dish tonight was a masterpiece in both presentation and taste - perfect for celebrations or dates! If you love seafood and steak, this place is unmissable! π―β€οΈ π° Price Range: 50 β 50β100 per person π ΏοΈ Valet Parking: $8 (valet only) #LAfoodie #NewportBeach #NewportEats #LAdining #RustyPelican
