Yes, the Rusty Pelican is expensive, but no more so than any comparable restaurant in Miami; and the view cannot be found anywhere else in the city (believe me, we looked while planning our wedding). The food is good, the bar/lounge is a nice place to relax and have a drink, and the staff is friendly and accomodating. We're getting married there, and I can't wait to see the look on the faces of my out-of-town guests when they see the view from both the ceremony and the ballroom.
Pros: the view, ambiance, food
