This place is awesome. The service is amazing. Our bartenders made us feel seen. They made great drinks and checked on us frequently. Even when it was busy. At the bar. What I enjoyed the most was the food. The shrimp boat is . The coconut are illegal. I wanted to hug the chef. They put their heart in to making our food. Too sum it up in two words...Sooooo Good! Enjoy read more

I love the fun, island vibe this place has. The music is always poppin and you can't beat the view. It's important to get here early because valet parking is limited and it's a pretty popular spot for dinner. I love the drinks here. Especially the margaritas. I tried the spicy one at the recommendation of the waitress, and I regretted it a little bit. I usually like spicy, but I like the refreshing factor a cold margarita has on a hot day, and the spiciness counteracted it. Every sip lit my mouth on fire, making me take another sip to cool off, lighting my mouth on fire again... and so on. Definitely will be sticking with the classic margaritas from now on. Loved the wings that I had though. Had a sweet, tangy bbq sauce that was great. The ribs I had were covered in a similar sauce that I loved. I tried some of the scallops too. Really perfectly cooked and tasty. The sweet plantains my girlfriend had were crazy good. The best part of dinner though was the key lime pie. One of the beat key lime pies I've ever had. Nothing tasted canned or frozen. Really really good. A big piece too. Needless to say, it was gone pretty fast. I actually got 5% off the entire bill for checking in with yelp. That was really cool. I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in the Hamptons. read more

Amazing views and lovely vibes, but we the food left much to be desired. Some we really liked-the grilled artichokes and coconut shrimp appetizers were great. However, in our family of 7 none of us liked our main courses. We were hoping for so much more. read more

What an awesome place.... the service was amazing. Ardis was our waitress.... she has such a positive attitude. I had the Brussel Sprouts and they were out of this world. I also had the coconut Shrimp and they were mouthwatering . My hubby had the salmon which was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming especially Ty the valet. We will be back soon as I highly recommend this restaurant..... you will NOT be disappointed read more

Beyond a fabulous experience. Indoor dining, outdoor as well. On the waterway. The appetizers were an experience. The brewed coffee extremely good. The mussels were to die for. The not fussy , come as you are welcoming.grear staff but make reservations or go inbetween hours for quick resolve and a full belly read more

Based on pick up experience only. We got shrimp tacos, pulled pork tacos, jerk chicken tacos and soy & sugar cane salmon with coconut risotto. We heated them up in the air fryer for a few minutes. Everything was delicious! Will def come back and hopefully dine in. read more

Buffalo tacos and the rum punch Cute little rum bar on the water. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time!

i loved this place for years but i went with my friends who are frequent patrons immediately sat down and they said they wouldn't serve us and gave us no reason so we left. shame on you. ended up going to edgewater instead MUCH better read more

Came for a quick visit but this place is so good. My server Sophia was so nice and attentive even though I sat outside. She recommended their feature taco which was steak and was so delicious! She also recommended trying the plantains. I have to say those were the star of the meal. Perfectly crisp on the outside and melt in your mouth on the inside. I could eat those every day. Will definitely come back the next time I visit read more

So gross! One of the worst meals ever! The service was also so horrible! Save your money! read more

RUMBA looked awesome from all the photos but I wish I had dug a little deeper and looked at prices and maybe some reviews before I made a rushed decision... When we arrived there was a line for valet but we were quickly taken care of and made our way inside to be seated outside again on the deck. Great space for summer nights but this September evening was a bit breezy. The interior was appropriate for the atmosphere they were going after but there just aren't enough tables inside. As I looked through the menu which was smaller than I imagined, I began to realize I made a mistake in choosing this place... everything was at super premium prices! I get it, the location and the Hamptons and what not but what was not justifiable was the portion size or lack of sides. For drinks, I ordered a mango mojito at $14 after tax which was refreshing but super watered down! I don't even drink much but I needed more booze... I ordered 3 tacos for my entree, fish, shrimp and steak. The fish taco I enjoyed and the shrimp taco was amazing but the steak taco was lame, just one small piece, and it's the priciest of the three. Though tasty, they just weren't enough. I wish there was more to it, a larger taco stuffed with toppings and fillings or some sides. My friend got the Caribbean Mahi, which I hear was quite delicious just lacking in sides. For $27 it would've been an excellent meal with rice and beans, or a small salad, just some kind of carb. Food came out quickly, was presently nicely, and our server was perfect, but we both ate up our entrees fast and left still hungry. Sure, an appetizer would've sufficed but at the same prices as some entrees it just doesn't seem worth it to order one without racking up the bill. Overall if we didn't have a budget and just order what wanted, RUMBA would've been absolutely perfect, but this place is totally a "tourist trap" so expect to pay up if you want to leave full! I could've ate 6 of their tacos and I'm not a big guy! read more

I ordered take out and the food was all cold. There was one dish that should have been a cold dish but the rest of my order tasted like it came directly out of the prep fridge and put into the box. The taco shells didn't even taste like they were toasted or warmed up and the filling was ice cold. I don't believe I will ever be ordering anything take out from here again. The service when I picked up the food was good, but the food left me feeling like I shouldn't have left a tip at all. read more

The restaurant was very spacious and had beautiful views of the water from outdoor dining area but fair enough view from indoor dining area. The bar area was very overcrowded but everyone seemed okay with that. We didn't have reservations but sat right away and waiter said hello and greeted us. We had about 4 different waiters/waitresses while we were there, seemed off since every time we told or requested something from one waiter , the other waiter or helper wasn't aware of it. So we had to repeat ourselves. The drinks and food was very flavorful, literally would of been perfect if when the steak came out it wouldn't of had a bug maybe a fly stuck in the sauce. The waiter or waitress should be more aware of what they're delivering to the table. Tacos were are favorite and steak was okay. Sangria was yummy and the dessert 3 ledges was so good! We got the bill with one amount and got charged a different amount because one of the waitress forgot to add the dessert, now what if we wouldn't of had enough on that card; what I'm saying is we should of got told the difference before changing the card. The inconsistency of service, I have to give them a 4 luckily didn't give them a 3 which I've never had to do to a restaurant. The boat ride you can take from one restaurant to another is super awesome; you can leave your car at one of the restaurants free of charge and get in a boat at ease! We had steak,tacos,3 leches dessert. read more

My wife and I really like Rumba! The water views are great, the ambiance is relaxed and fun, there is valet parking and the food & cocktails are very good & reasonably priced. A few things that could use some help: during busy times, the service can be erratic causing inconsistencies regarding the timing of cocktail & food delivery & general server/diner follow ups. It would be good for the servers to ask diners about food allergies & we would love to have salt & pepper on the table rather than having to ask for it. read more

Such a great spot! Right on the water with laid back vibes. Friendly staff and delicious food. The Buffalo soldier and shrimp tacos are a must try! You can't leave without having one of Rumba's famous rum punches. read more

Very lively place. I enjoyed myself there. Although the wait was 45 minutes the time went fast. Started at the bar ,the mojito was very good. Went out by the water where there are more chairs to relax in and enjoy the water view during the wait. The hostess was very friendly. The food was good. read more

My favorite spot in the area! I love feeling like I'm on vacation when I'm not really on vacation. The food is absolutely amazing - we haven't had a bad dish once. The drinks are very good too. The second time we were here we took the boat over to their sister spot, Cowfish, for after dinner drinks. Definitely worth the trip. Can't wait to return! read more

Ideal location on Hamptons Bay with a little dock. Easy in and out with valet parking. These were the best parts. The food was mediocre and over priced. The loud fan drowned the loud music. Drinks took a long time to be made and offered nothing spectacular in terms of rum even though the t-shirts touted "girls just wanna have rum". Plus: ALL The bees! Everyone was putting their flowers in vases on the floor in a hope of a bit of relief. The faucet in the bathroom would not work--my teen son was asking lots of questions about the topless girl photo in the men's bathroom. Our waitress could not pronounce "shells" and the inedible gluten fee version of the tacos had raw chicken. The $30 burger was cold. We ordered a basket of tortilla chips and got 6! The key lime pie was delicious. read more

Decided to stop here to try this place while visiting the Hamptons. Was not impressed and ended up leaving hungry and disappointed. Our server was not attentive at all. We noticed other tables were checked on much more frequently. The cocktail I ordered tasted nothing like a mojito. I informed the server it was not good. She left it on the table and did not offer a replacement. We waited over 40 mins for food, which was sent back after one bite. Tacos were cold, not even a bit warm. When I informed the server that my food was cold, she looked at me and questioned if it was cold after I had just told her it was. Manager never came by to check on the table after drink and cold food was sent back. Server offered to bring out a replacement, but by this time my party was already eating and I didn't not feel like waiting an additional 40 mins for 2 tacos. Extremely disappointed read more

All great! Food, Service and Ambiance! My wife and had I had dinner there and really enjoyed it! We will definitely come back! read more

Amazing dining experience and most importantly incredible staff, particularly Justin and John who work valet. After our amazing meal, my car battery died and we were stranded. A waitress (sorry for forgetting your name :) ) got me jumper cables from her car (which was not close by) and Justin brought his car over to help us out. Took about 10min total. We were between Rumba and Cowfish for hours and all in all had an outstanding experience. read more

I found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to check it out from the reviews. I made a reservation and headed to the restaurant. I have never been to Long Island, so I was eager to venture to the Hampton Bay Area. I had a little bit of a wait and quite a bit of trouble trying to get my cocktail ordered. The bartenders never would look my way, so I moved to the end of the bar where it was less crowded. A bartender did finally notice me but not to take my order. He found it important to let me know that was the waitresses' station and I couldn't order my drink there. He told me to go back and stand where I was apparently invisible. I informed him I was there before and never could get any attention there. I went and stood there and once again he helped everyone but me, including the people sitting at the bar who were on their second drink. Then a man stood where I was standing before(the waitress area), and he took his unwanted drink and made him another drink. He never told him he couldn't take his order, or not to stand there. Finally someone cleared some space and I popped right up to the bar. The bartender continued to look over me, and then I put my hand up and waved at him. Finally he took my order, and just in time because the hostess was ready to seat me. Waiting for 25 minutes to get a drink made made my waiting to be seated go by faster. Once we got to our table which was a great view of the sparkling fireworks; we were greeted by the lovely waitress, Anita. She was absolutely wonderful when it came to helping us make a choice with our entrees. I ordered the Dominican ribs as an appetizer which fell off the bone and were absolutely delicious. Then I moved to my entree which was the island ribeye flavored and cooked with pineapple and mangoes I believe. The side was roasted sweet potatoes which were also good and perfect with my rib eye. My son had the salmon, risotto, and corn on the cob. I loved the creamy risotto and the corn was to die for. There was a cream on it and possibly a southwestern seasoning or chili and cilantro all over it. I ended up ordering some corn to go. Unfortunately, I can't tell you about the salmon because my son wouldn't let me get my fork any where near it. He said he was enjoying it and it was very good. It looked very moist and perfectly cooked. I also ordered key lime pie to go based off Anita's suggestion. I'm too tired to try it yet but I'm sure it's amazing as well. Anita said it is, and she was right about everything else. Oh and that cocktail I ordered was the key lime pie martini. That's my favorite drink and three orders of it later I will definitely admit the waiter knows how to make a great key lime pie martini. The graham cracker crumbs and sugar around the rim is always a nice touch too. I would have given 5 stars but I wasn't thrilled with my initial service at the bar. Everything else was great, I liked the crowd there, and more than one waitress checked on us as well as runners for the waitresses, they checked on us too. The hostess and Katherine who made my reservation on the phone was very helpful and sweet as well. I wish I knew the hostess with blond hair who greeted me when I walked in the door. She was so nice and promised me when my table was ready she would come find me no matter what, and she did. She also patiently waited for me to finally get my drink from the bartender, and she retrieved my son first and brought him to me before seating us. I will definitely go back there. I really had a lovely evening at RUMBA!!! read more

Rumba - Island ribeye and roasted sweet potatoes - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton Bays, New York

Let's get this party started. It's January 2 and I want a permanent reservation here. I was here a couple of years ago for dinner when my youngest daughter and son-in-law took us to dinner. It was really good but dinner was interrupted with a family emergency so it became obscure. So my wife and I decided to go to lunch here today. Excellent choice if I must say do myself. The weather is nasty today so the views of Shinecock Bay are hindered. Didn't matter, food and drinks far surpassed the bad weather. In fact the food was so good I wasn't interested in any views. We had a small problem at first. Parking. Very limited but they usually have valet parking. Today they didn't because they didn't expect much business. A very sweet hostess pointed out a place to park that would block in two cars but they were workers cars. A worker came out to direct my maneuvers which was great. OK Let's get to the food. It's all Caribbean with a little kick. NP for me. I had the Dominican Ribs for an App. OFF THE CHARTS. I could nave eaten three orders. Next I had the Jerk Chicken Platter. Also OFF THE CHARTS. My wife had something that she said was excellent. I can't tell you what it was because I was too engrossed with my meal. So if I can get that permanent reservation I'll be there at least once a week in the summer. If not, I'll be there anyway. Oh BTW Yelpers get a 5% discount for checking in. Can't beat that. read more

We had lunch here, and we loved it all. We started with a grilled artichoke, which was for me a revelation. I've always loved artichokes but haven't eaten them this way. They were simply delicious. My salad with shrimp was tasty, and my mom enjoyed the Ahi tuna appetizer. And the dessert! My goodness. Key lime pie with pecan crust and fantastic French press coffee. We were utterly delighted, and we will be back. Friendly service, too. And a beautiful setting on the water! read more

We had a really nice time at Rumba. The vibe is nice and chill. We sat outside and were greeted by very friendly staff. The drinks were good not overly sweet and cloying and the food was tasty. We had a variety of tacos, wings, burgers, salad and I had the mahi mahi which was delicious. A few things I appreciated - the quick, efficient, friendly service, the atmosphere, and the music. We are from the Caribbean and some places we go to will throw on some watered down version of reggae, Rumba had the good stuff on rotation we appreciated that, it added to the over all aesthetic they are going for. We will definitely come back. read more
