    We were a little disappointed about our experience at Rumi. We made a reservation for dinner, but were given a table right at the entrance of the restaurant where diners were waiting to be seated, while diners without reservations were taken to tables inside the restaurant where the dining experience would have been more pleasant. My husband ordered chicken dish, which was delicious, but my dish, a beef stew, was not of the standard I expected, and left me bloated and with cramps, and feeling unwell and with gastro symptoms during the night. Our service was excellent and the ambience of the restaurant could have been great if we had been given a table that allowed for a pleasant dining experience.

    Food was great! The owner explained to us that his staff was taken away by ice a few days before… So we were extremely patient after hearing so..  I’m definitely going back to visit again and I would definitely recommend

    My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. Wanted to try something new. Except for the price of the wines (exorbitant), we had a great time. Will return.
