Rumba Island Grill - Clearwater

Updated on 08/27/24 with a new manager providing even better service. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I adore this restaurant; the food is fantastic, the staff is incredible, and the atmosphere is definitely worth visiting for. However, the downside is that the current manager on duty is not only rude and condescending to the employees but also seems to avoid making eye contact with anyone. When we had a minor issue with one of our orders, our waiter approached the manager, who was standing right next to our table, but he never acknowledged us or looked our way; instead, he just instructed to replace the dish.

I had the seafood boil. It was really good. Good assortment of various seafood. Always a great atmosphere at the outside bar with live music.

I got the Pineapple rum chicken with island veggies and spices island fries. Amazingly Juicy seasoned chicken breast, veggies seasoned perfectly, fries were crispy with the right amount of salty flavor. The fried green tomato’s were so flavorful and the jerk aïoli became the dipping sauce for my fries

The host was not very friendly and I was ignored at the bar for 10minutes

Very cool place! I sat at the bar and had a couple drinks the jumbo coconut shrimp and it was amazing, Jaime was a great bartender as well.
