I always have a great time when dining at RumRunner. The food was fantastic. The only reason why I gave four stars is because two food dishes that were chosen were not available.

Our dinner was delicious and the place was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The piano player was very, very good. Our waiter Angello was very attentive and personable. Will definitely be back.

Superb food, good selection, great service. Waiter very polite and attentive. Leave room for desert.

Our bartender Emma was outstanding and made our night that much better.

A wonderful spot , watched a dolphin while eating lunch , quiet , I rushed, great lunch menu !

Excellent. Drinks were a bit high though everything else made up for it.

Lunch with friends after Thanksgiving. Great service (Vincent) and friendly atmosphere. Beautiful river views (with dolphin entertainment!). Nice selection of food and drinks.

Great food, friendly staff

Its a beautiful place to dine with an awesome view of the inlet. The waitstaff was friendly. Had the Thanksgiving buffet. Great choice of salads. No soup. Side dishes included sweet potatoes and glazed carrots. They were all delicious. Mashed potatoes were dry and unseasoned. Carving station was just for ham. The turkey came out sliced, dry, and overcooked. The breads were chewy and rubbery. Desserts were of the frozen and thawed out variety, like the Chinese Buffet down the road would offer. Cavatelli was also available and it was fine. The price was reasonable but the turkey should have been the star of the show and it was quite disappointing. Bottom line is that I think one would expect a much bigger variety of foods for a buffet. And moist delicious turkey would have been a plus also. I don't regret going, and will try them again when they have their regular offerings. Or better yet will try one of their other locations like the one at Pier Village Or Asbury Boardwalk.

Coconut shrimp appetizer, crispy goat cheese appetizer, and salads were yummy. Service was extremely slow which may be due to low staff numbers like most restaurants. Salmon was overcooked… sent back and exchanged for mahi tacos. Mahi tacos were tasty but the side of black beans and rice was dry and overcooked. Overall it was a fair to good rating.

Kayla, our server was wonderful. Great personality, cared about how we enjoyed the food. Excellent service.

Great location; nice choice on menu...Nice ambiance.

Very nice place. We've been there before and decided to give it another shot. We're not going back. The noise level is intolerable. I tried to read our guests lips and cup my ears but nothing worked. I mead it's a din.

Food was excellent. Server george was fantastic!!!

We had a great time and enjoyed the piano player.

Everything was fabulous…the view, the food and our exceptional server! Can’t wait to return!

We had a great bay window and enjoyed a delightful lunch. Not too much, just enough to ‘hit the spot’.

Our food came out wrong, and then the food that came out right was cold. Also the restaurant was freezing.

Always a pleasure to dine at the Rum Runner. Great water views and hopefully soon we will be hearing live music again!!

Terrific food and beautiful location. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We loved our meals- coconut shrimp appetizer, salmon and lobster roll!

The only issue was so many nats! Terrible. They need to install some type of repellent.

Server Danielle was great!

Executive Chef Daniel Kane is a culinary genius. Highly recommend his food!

the ambience was perfect on the lake watching the dolphins.Drinks were good a little too much ice. 3 course meal was excellent ..very tasty. With surprisingly adequate portions. Waiter was friendly and was always present. Definitely coming back!

Enjoyed a beautiful warm sunny fall afternoon lunch outside on the deck overlooking the Shrewsbury River. Service and food were good. Restaurant appeared to be short staffed, yet the employees on duty picked up the slack.

Very very loud! Steak had no taste!!! Freezing cold restaurant, everyone sitting with coats on! Wine was the best part of the night! First time at restaurant not great…second and last time even worse!

The two best features include the nice indoor appearance and setting plus the fact the restaurant is on the waterfront with relaxing enjoyable views.

With one of the prettiest views in the area, this restaurant could be spectatular but just misses on quality of the food and service. Our server did her best but there was clearly a backlog in the kitchen despite the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty. We noticed a sign advertising for virtually every position from reception to cook. Like most restaurants, this one is suffering from a lack of staff right now. We hope they are able to fill the spots quickly and live up to its potential.

Unfortunately our waitress was also attending to the bar so she would disappear for long periods of time. We had to ask another server to get her to place our order and to get the bill which was frustrating. Other than that the food was delicious and other employees were very nice. I would definitely give them another try as they were clearly very busy.

Scenery and view is amazing
Food fair
Service terrible

The food was awesome and our server was very attentive and personable. Thanks for a great dinner and time out with friends

Good Food, good service and sat at a great location overlooking the bay.THanks will come back again in the near future.

The location and view of the Navesink is wonderful. We went on a Saturday ( make reservations on the weekend don't just show up). Just thought I would put that out there. You may have a long wait if you just show up. They had a piano player near the bar on Saturday night - fun. Our server was wonderful and friendly. Having said all that I had the chicken tacos ( average) and my friend had another chicken dish that he loved. So I guess the food, he liked his meal, I did not like mine. Hit or miss but nice location, wine was great. Drinks at the bar wonderful.

Way too noisy. Difficult having a conversation. Food was only fair: not worth the price. Server unavailable to get us refills on drinks. Only too glad to pay and leave.

I understand service levels have been diminished all over by lack of help but for a $300 dinner I expected more. Our waitress was non existent during the meal. I had to flag down someone to bring the bread. When they brought out the table appetizers they were about 10 minutes apart so 2 people finished as the next two came out. Had to ask bus boy for drink refills. When they brought out our meals 2 of the sides were missing. So had to ask the server to bring them. Waitress did come by to ask how appetizers were. They hadn’t even brought them out yet. The meals themselves lacked flavor. Have had decent experiences here before so was very disappointed this time. The whole experience was very poor.

Fantastic service and easy changes with dinners

Staff was very friendly and attentive

We done here often this was not a good experience. Service was not good several mistakes. Glasses were dirty and napkins too! The waiters shirt was dirty and looked like he had slept in it. Very disappointed. Brought family to lunch that were visiting from out of town and was embarrassed.

Subpar experience in a beautiful venue. Food was bland and surprisingly unremarkable a sincere disappointment considering how beautiful a restaurant and setting. drinks not good. A limited menu and then only 2 specials offered on a Friday night was suprising. I will probably give them another chance eventually because of it location and decor

Wonderful restaurant. The decor and views are just amazing. We loved the bar area, lots of energy. We also loved the music playing all night. The service was excellent and very attentive. The food was delicious. My husband and I shared a flatbread for our appetizer, which was delicious. I had the crab cakes, which were all crab, baked and really fantastic. My husband had the strip steak which he really enjoyed. We will definitely be going back.

Beautiful spot for Sunset
Nice bar to hang at

The view is phenomenal! Excellent service! Food was mixed. Fish special was bland and chocolate chip cookie dessert seemed undercooked but the Betty Salad (with steak addition) and drinks were delicious.
