They ALWAYS bring the bread first along with the drinks. We never got it and when I asked about it she said"it is on its way". When it took forever and I never saw our appetizer was NOT delivered, I asked about that and she said "Oh it will come out soon". I said "hold our food order until it comes out" she said "Oh don;t worry about it, the food will not come out first". Well - it did! We received our order without ever receiving our appetizer. The Manager did give us 50% off to make up for everything, but I was just looking forward to eating there again and it wasn't a good experience.

We had a business dinner with Executives Pastors from out of town- Food was great but the timing horrible Server was very much unfriendly and full of excuses for the food to arrive quick. They took over 45 minutes to give us our drinks and one appetizer arrived short ! Bread was brought late and whatever the whole experience was okay because your food is outstanding but the timing and service very poor you need pay more so you can get highly quality server or perhaps better incentives so you can get more qualified people for the the type of clientele you get at this restaurant ! Not sure if I would return sorry !

Always great food and we love eating at Rumi's. We had a nice anniversary dinner last night with my wife and family, however, the service was far less than several of our prior visits. Perhaps a busy night, but sadly, the lack of attentiveness to our table leaves me pondering my next return for the price of the meals on their menu. For a $200 dinner, it should not be unrealistic to expect the service to be commensurate with that tier of dining.

Having eaten at other Rumi's location I find that this location is the noisiest of them it all! The noise level is so high that two people sitting facing each other have to elevate their speaking voices to the near shouting level to be heard!!! It makes the dining experience unpleasant!! Another glitch at this location -- The host seating us brought us to a table that had water(?) running off the surface and on to the seating area and, when mentioned to the host said "Oh, it just water" and expected us to sit in the water!! I came for the food not a bath!! The staff, in my opinion, should insure that the table being offered is ready for service! As far as a recommendation to friends is concerned, I would say Yes to other locations but not Avalon. If this level of were to continue I fear that the reputation of Rumi's is going to be tarnished!!

Love Rumi’s - eat here often but today was not the best dining experience. Food and service were wonderful, as usual. But the restaurant was so hot inside, my business lunch was cut short because both of us were so uncomfortable! I asked our waitress if the AC was broken. She said no, so I guess it wasn’t turned down low enough to accommodate all the bodies in the building. I can’t imagine how hot the kitchen staff must have been. The front doors were kept open the whole time, so possibly that affected the room temp. Either way, it was very unpleasant!

Wonderful reunion with our best friends in a lovely outdoor setting! Great, attentive service, and the lamb kabobs were out of this world! Highly recommend the white chocolate cardamom cake for dessert. Just the right touch of sweetness, served with refreshing cardamom ice cream.

It was Mothers Day and I understand it was crazy busy. Had a 5:45 reservation for five inside. Arrived on time and was told they were thirty minutes behind. Waited and was seated outside twenty five minutes late. It was a beautiful day so that was nice but ladies were dressed for inside dining and they got a little chilled. Our table was very nice, corner table with lots of room. The "cushions" we sat on were filthy. Absolutely disgusting. Totally understand how they get that way but c'mon, clean them before a big day like Mothrrs Day. They were stained from lots of previous accidents not a recent spill. Server was great and did her absolute best. Kitchen was slammed. Five orders with two orders of lamb kebabs ordered medium rare. Both were well done. The middle of the nest was white. No red, no pink. Absolutely nuked. Server saw and it was obvious the kitchen just made a mistake. We are the rice and it took so long to get two medium rare lamb kebibs that the table already finished the comped desserts when the recooks came out. They went straight into to go boxes. Server was terrific. Manager, who never bothered to come over, comped the meals and dessert which was nice and never expected or asked for. We like the food generally and understand everyone could have a tough day. Will be back just not on z mother's Day.

It took a long time for the waiter to come to the table. He was good after that but a bit lagging on the timing for follow up requests like extra silverware. One of the managers interrupted our lunch to open a door that was not necessary to do at that exact time. The food was good but not as great as I remember it. The whole experience was just ok. Expected more from this place.
