Horrible customer service, not accomodating. We tried to take a party of 15 here for a night out with a 10:30pm reservation, but they would not let us make a reservation unless every individual ate. And by every individual eating, they meant everyone had to order an entree. Then they said we had to provide a credit card and if not all of us ordered entrees, they would charge us $10 a person. First of all, the menu here includes small plates and appetizers, which are perfect for sharing. So the idea that every person has to order an entree is ridiculous. I will never take my business here again. This is disappointing because I have eaten here in the past and enjoyed sharing small plates and cocktails, but this is crazy. This place is not that special...…
Great entertainment. I went here about 3 years ago to celebrate my birthday with my family and two of my close girlfriends. We sat at a table near the stage, and we able to be very interactive with the band. They were dominican, as was one of the girls that came with me. They pulled us up on stage, and we danced quite a bit. I remember the food being very good, and the desserts were delicious. Luckily, we sat on a side table, as they clear the middle ones around 10pm for dancing. The booths looked very nice though, they're circular and very high backed, so I would recommend trying to reserve one of them instead. I wouldn't suggest this place for kids. I was a minor at the time, and only because I was with my parents they did not kick us out when the club setting kicked in. Overall, it is a great place if you want a nice band and if you're willing to dance.…
Bad Service.
The food was ok, service bad. The host walked past all of the nice open tables/booths and stuck us in the crappy corner location. We were then given conflicting reasons by the owner and the host for
seating us in the worst location while other locatons were open. The owner did buy a round after extensive complaining but lying to customers to save the better tables is unacceptable. I wont be back, nor will my friends.
Go to Nacional 27. Much Much better place.…
The worst place EVER!. This is the worst latino place I've EVER been to! When a waiter pushed one of my girlfriends out of the way, with callous force, that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. What was even more ridiculous was that when I had approached the manager to take care of this issue he ran off telling me he would be right back. I ended up waiting for him by the bar and he was a no show. This place must be run by nimrods. I feel sorry for the men, no wait, animals, that think they can act like that, what's even more sad is how no one there would take responsibility for it. I will never set foot in that place again, Nacional 27 all the way!!! Better food, better music and better service.…
THE BOMB!. My Husband and I had dinner at Rumbas Saturday. I have to say I was impressed with the decor the ambience, food and service. At 9pm a Salsa instructor came out and taught us a few moves which was so much fun! I highly reccomend Rumba for a date for two or a group outing. It was great to see people of all races, age, and backgrounds enjoying themselves. The band is fantastic you can't help but to get up and dance. I had the cake martini it is very good, and the pina colada IS fabulous! My husband had a steak that just melt in your mouth. We had a good time,,, I definitely recommend Rumbas!…
