A Newport Beach favorite
Saturday, April 15, 2006
There are a lot of reasons to like the Rusty Pelican. There's an impressive variety of wines by the glass -- from basic Chardonnay ($4.95) to Francis Coppola Pinot Noir Diamond Series ($9.50). Then there's the extensive, seafood-focused menu that includes specialities like the Trio of Cajun Shrimp, Calamari Friti and Ichiban Fresh Fish Skewers ($13.25). Finally there's the striking design and decor -- cathedral ceilings, hand-hewn wood and lots of glass.
