    I wish we would have know sooner that our request to sit by the tank was not possible because we mainly wanted to go there to get our children the experience of sitting by the giant big fish tank.

    Great restaurant. Full wall aquarium is focal point of the dining room. Steak was overcooked and the creamed spinach was just spinach with butter sauce. Grouper w/ pineapple salsa shrimp was excellent. Service was excellent we had 2 screaming kids on 2 tables next to us, but not restaurant's fault.

    I had the pompano; it was delicious. My husband had the trout. He found it a little spicy, so I enjoyed some of it. The aquarium was beautiful and a perfect back drop to the meal. Everyone was so nice and the service was great. I appreciated it being close to the hotel.

    Great location. The aquarium was very entertaining during dinner. My husband LOVED the blue crab bisque. I had the Caesar salad which was delicious. A few downfalls: the bread basked was not brought to the table until we were finished with the appetizers and the main course came too soon. We told the server that we wanted to finish our appetizers before the main course (we did not expect to be rushed, considering the prices). When he brought the food back to the table, both dishes were cold (they did not keep the food warm). The mahi-mahi was not cooked very well and especially since it was cold, it was inedible. I changed my order to the lobster macaroni, which we both agreed was delicious. Unfortunately, I do not think we will be returning to RumFish Grill - very disappointing...

    We enjoy bringing out-of-towners to Rumfish Grill. When you bring your guests, be sure to remind them that they don’t choose their fish from the tank for their dinner. Try the hummus duo!

    A little pricey for a small price of fish over some rice. No salad or other side dish included. The tank was cool, but, I would not recommend. Sorry we will not be back. A one and done.

    we were there for mother’s day and when we arrived we had to wait 5 minutes for the hostess to come to the stand to be seated. when we were seated we also waited about 10 minutes before a waiter approached us and our section was empty. the utensils were dirty and our plates had food on them. the food was a hit or miss the mussels didn’t taste fresh and the salmon was undercooked. however the calamari, blue crab dip, filet mignon, and pompano were great. the display of food was beautiful. better service is much anticipated as our waiter barely checked on us and when our entrees came we didn’t have utensils so we had to wait even longer to begin eating.

    Our service was very good. The dining area was very pretty and entertaining with 2 huge aquariums. The food was ok. The fish was cooked very well but the fingerling potatoes seemed to be over cooked. When I bit into one there was nothing inside, like it had been over cooked and all that was left was crunchy skin. Our waiter brought us out a new order but it was the same experience. So we received a free dessert to compensate for the terrible potatoes.

    Presentation of the food was beautiful, but the ahi tuna is flavorless. They brought our meal out before our salads, and said they would remake the meal. When our meal arrived, the lobster macaroni had a dry crust on it from sitting under the heat lamp. The strawberry mojito drinks had little flavor and weren’t even the slightest sweet. The ambience is really nice… we were all underwhelmed by the food and drinks.

    I am a returning customer but will serioulsy reconsider dining with you again. Too expensive for the portion sizes: filet mignon ($43) medium rare (in two pieces) was more rare so our server took it back to the kitchen. Poor presentation of "smashed" fingerling potatoes and asparagus. Very small portion of Mahi Mahi Shrimp ($42). Rumfish needs to improve food presentation and revise pricing.

    The food was terrible and did not match description on the menu. They charged $2 for ice in a mixed drink…not fancy ice…just regular ice….and $4 for 5 tiny crostini to go with the crab dip….the only good thing is the aquarium wall.

    I was very disappointed with this restaurant, the glasses at the table were dirty. Food was not worth the money. I ordered filet Oscar style, barely any crab meat at all! Cost 70$ and the whipped potatoes it came with were spicy! No indication of that on menu. Only positive was our server was very polite.

    Made reservations, but still ended up waiting an additional 20min to be seated. The view was absolutely gorgeous. The food came out rather FAST, we were like Oh, Okkk but it was COLD (only imagine what that meant) they ended up remaking it, this time it was HOT. The portions are very small (do not go here if you are Hungry). They brought us 2 pieces of bread/butter (Huhhhh???) Water refills are slow. it was an experience, but not on the must-try-it-again list.

    Great place to eat. Prices are a bit on the high side though. The food seemed pretty good. The only suggestion I would make, this place really needs to have a bit more selection for cocktails. In my opinion, it's kind of limited. However, the aquarium, which is probably why most people dine here, was awesome!

    Our server was excellent. The food was cold and the steak was tough. This was for my moms birthday and we were not even given the consideration to sit by the tank. They said it was only for big parties. No offer to replace the steak or credit it. I would not go back.

    Go for the fish tank. Seafood was not fresh. Obvious from the fact that almost all options are fried, spiced, or Cajun.

    Hostess was not pleasant. Mahi mahi was good but very small portion nothing came with it no vegetables it came with a small scoop of rice if you’re serving fish that small you need to add a salad or vegetable. Ribeye was just okay. The fish aquarium is beautiful. I recommend going if just for lunch or appetizers so you can see the fish aquarium.
