    We had a really good dinner at rum fish tonight we had the crispy, brussels sprouts the firecracker calamari and the spicy seafood linguine. Everything was delicious. The service was good, our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. That atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I really liked the fish tank. Everything was nice and I'm very happy with our decision tonight to go there.

    I was confused by the other reviews. I didn't want to have dinner here because I thought it was a sports bar. There are 2 different sides. The restaurant is separate from the sports bar side. I did dine at both. I stayed at the resort and I'm glad I didn't have to travel far for good food. Chef Jon and his team did a wonderful job. They made my weekend really special. The fish tank is in the Grill/Restaurant is beautiful. I wish we got to sit closer but we still had a good table so that we could watch the fish and stingray. I ordered the seafood pasta and my bf had the whole fried snapper. We had oysters as an appetizer. They were sooo good !!! I enjoyed them with a glass of Sauvignon blanc. On the sports bar side the next day, we enjoyed hot wings fried crispy to perfection with the best dirty martinis I've ever had at a bar. The bartender, was so nice and helpful. He makes the best drinks !!!!

    My husband and I made reservations for dinner here on the 4th of July because we purchased a Resort day pass to use the Tradewinds Pools and Beach and we wanted a nice dinner without having to leave the property. This place did not disappoint. Not only is the huge aquarium in the dining room such a cool vibe, but the service here was impeccable from the hostess, to the server, to the food runners, and manager. The team service was a nice touch as well! And the food was just as great! We started with a dozen raw oysters which were so fresh. My husband also started with the bacon Caesar which tasted good, but was WAY overdressed. We had a couple of bites, but it was just too much. Entrees were on point. My husband got the New York strip with crab cakes and coconut rice. All of it was delicious, but especially the crab cakes. Get. The. Crab. Cakes! I got the sugar and spice grouper and OMG, such a freaking good dish.

    This could have been a total gimmick and not worth it. Luckily, it was such a fun experience and as a local, I had a blast! We made a reservation a week in advance and asked for a seat as close to the fish tank. It was incredible getting to look at the fish throughout the meal. The braised Short Rib Special was absolutely delicious. As a non-seafood water (I know - wild for a Floridian), I was impressed by the amount of meat options and how tasty all the food was. The bread pudding desert was absolutely lovely. The bread pudding was warm and gooey and the ice cream was the perfect icey temperature. This is a great time for a tasty meal with a unique view.

    We are locals and decided to venture down to St. Petersburg and visit RumFish Grill. I had been here before while visiting the area, so I was excited to return. I had read in other reviews that parking cost $10, but we weren't charged when we mentioned we were there to dine--definitely a pleasant surprise. On previous visits to the outdoor grill, the menu felt more casual with plenty of handheld options. This time, it seems they've shifted toward a more upscale dining experience. We started with a round of drinks, and everything was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive, even while managing a few larger parties. For dinner, we ordered the 1/2 lb. Smoked Bacon Wagyu Cheeseburger and the Smoked Bacon Caesar with chicken. Both dishes came out just as expected. The garlic aioli added great flavor to the burger, and the fries were incredible--whatever seasoning they use, everyone at the table loved them. The salads were also generously portioned. Overall, it was a great evening with nice music and a lively atmosphere. The only downside was the wooden furniture, which wasn't the most comfortable for a more upscale dining experience.

    After a disappointing experience at a nearby restaurant, we stumbled upon RumFish Grill--and it completely turned our evening around. From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made us feel right at home. We were immediately drawn in by the massive aquarium filled with real tropical fish, creating a beautiful and unique atmosphere. The views were amazing, and the ambiance was lively without being overwhelming. We also noticed there's a connected gift shop with some great merchandise, and they even feature live music, which adds a fun and relaxed vibe to the whole experience. Our server, Melissa, was fantastic--super friendly, helpful, and took time to walk us through the menu and specials. Before our meal, we were served complimentary bread with a butter and honey blend--a delicious touch that we really appreciated. We ordered the beef tenderloin skewers with chimichurri and fries. The flavor was on point--perfectly seasoned and satisfying. The only small downside was that the skewers were warm rather than hot, possibly from sitting a bit while the fries, which were perfectly crispy and hot, finished cooking. To drink, we had a beer and a mojito, both of which were refreshing and well-made. All in all, this was a fantastic experience--great service, delicious food, a stunning setting, and thoughtful little extras that made a difference. I'd absolutely recommend RumFish Grill and look forward to returning!

    Obviously, the place is really cool inside. However, the food is not that good. The servers were nice, but don't expect all that from the food.

    The best part of my dining experience was watching the fish in their huge fish tank... To start off, how does a server bring out two rolls to a table of eight, five adults and three children, we had to ask for additional bread three times... A shared appetizer of firecracker calamari, came out lightly breaded, limp calamari strips with the breading, hardly adhering to the seafood, with the only discernible flavor being spice nothing else, no salt or pepper or anything other seasoning... Even more disappointing was my chilled seafood Cobb salad, when it came out, I was shocked to see the so-called (lump crab meat) the size and shape of blue cheese crumbles, and small blue cheese crumbles at that, when the server came back out, I asked her if this was in fact, lump crab in which she said it was... The chef came out to bring my wife's seafood Cobb salad's avocado and bacon that was missing from her plate, I asked the chef if this was in fact, lump crab meat he said " yes I only buy lump crab meat"... I have eaten a lot of lump crab meat, at restaurants, and have purchased it many times myself , and this was not lump crab me. In fact it was a watery, poor tasting, crab that actually tasted as if it was frozen, "poached shrimp " tasted old... The old Bay aïoli, was a strange taste, and I was sorry that I ordered extra on the side, which I did not use...A shared order of beef tenderloin cubes were good...Other comments from my cousins; jerk chicken was good, salmon was OK, burgers were OK, spicy seafood linguine, not good, half the entree was left... In Rumfish Grills defense, they did take my salad off the bill, I think it was only fair for our party of 16 for them to do this... On our annual cousins get together we will not be returning to the R G, due to value for money, quality, and spotty service....

    Outstanding service, the food was delicious and we loved the huge tank full of beautiful fishies! Tried a variety of options for dinner but the grouper was perfectly cooked and so good. Highly recommend for dinner and great ambiance

    We did not eat here, but swam in the fish tank. My boys had A LOT of fun and learned a bunch too. We showed up at 8:50, were welcomed by a very attentive and knowledgable individual promptly at 9am. He took us to all 3 of the tanks and explained the rationalization of the tank layout and described each fish. We then went upstairs and saw the holding tank for new or sick fish. After that, it was time for the swim in the tank. Once the last member of the group entered into the tank, the 10 min timer started. This was MORE than enough time for the kids to swim around and see the fish. Some of the fish were pretty curious and checked out the kids too. There was also a life guard up with us ensuring extra safety. It was such a neat experience! We then went home and watched the creation of the aquariums on Tanked (the last episode on season 7 - done in 2014).

    Key lime pie $12, very small portion for the price, part of the pie had a weird taste to it.
    Kevin M.

    Service and ambience 5/5 We just went for dessert. The pineapple upside down was the best. 8.5 outta 10. Key lime 5 outta 10 half the pie had a weird taste. Bread pudding 1/10 just not good at all, 4 people at our table, and hardly any of it was eaten. This item needs to be revisited by the chef, serious fail.

    Burgers, wings, Florida Snapper Ceviche, football Saturday. OuiOui

    This is a resort/hotel folks it's not exactly fine dining. The dinner service here is not our jam. We come for the Rumfishies "HAPPY HOUR" at the BAR. The dining room does have the most incredible fish tanks/aquarium, but it's just a touristy resort on the beach. If you drive up to this resort & park, it's a $10 charge for 4 hours. However, if you walk up from the beach or from the sidewalk/bus stop etc., you obviously do not have to pay to park to dine in. The dinning room is kinda lame like a hotel restaurant. Although the aquariums are very beautiful & it's nice to see all the fishes, the "happy hour" is where it's at, at Rumfish Grill. Sir Hubbers & I LOVE the "happy hour" at "Rumfishies" We call it "Rumfishies" Sir Hubbers likes the Rumfishies. Rumfishies has the "happiest happy happy hour" on St Pete Beach! OuiOui. First of all the Bar area is incredible. They have 4 giant TV's Right over the bar, so if you want to catch some brainwashing highlights during happy hour, they got you covered. And How is it that Rumfishies has the Happiest Happy "happy hour" on St Pete beach? Glad you asked. First of all, the Happy Hour menu is HALF PRICE from 4-6pm. Plus they have drink specials daily. On the Rumfishies "Happy Hour" menu, you will find the most incredibly fresh local Florida snapper ceviche. Not your average mexican ceviche, this ceviche has crispy plantains, ginger & celery in it. Intoxicating, inspirational. Superb. A MUST ORDER. CHIKIN WINGS: We do not like any of the wing sauces they currently offer. We order the wings plain with the sauce on the side. Their wing sauces are just average bottled. However, if you ask for blue cheese dressing on the side. It's house made & it's incredibly delicious with giant chunks of quality blue cheese and Worcestershire sauce. Excellent. ALSO, THE "CHEESE BURGER" on the HALF PRICE happiest happy "Happy Hour" menu is superb. OuiOui. It's a 10 oz Cheese burger, topped with BACON, LTO & the "Onion" is purple onion, which is moi fave, served on a Brioche Bun, WITH curly fries or sweet potato fries. Yes, you read that right. BACON CHEESEBURGER DELUX WITH FRIES/SWEET POTATO FRIES FOR HALF PRICE during the Rumfishies Happy Hour! Winners Circle OuiOui :)... ADDED to MOI "HAPPIEST HAPPY happy hour" list! AND "prowling for patties" best burgers list! LOVE "Rumfishies" Happiest Happy Happy hour! Will Return & Often!

    If your going to see an aquarium and buy a souvenir this could be the spot... If you want a good meal with good service go elsewhere.

I'm glad we went with it because it was hearty and flavorful with all the tots, cheese, and lots of crab! *Crab Cakes - really good crab cakes, with plenty of crab. *Twisted Cauliflower - our server warned us these would be spicy, but we were okay with that. They definitely had a kick from thai sauce and hot honey, but nothing that made it uncomfortable to eat, the right amount of spice. We had ours grilled, and enjoyed every bite. Needless to say, we ordered a fantastic meal of appetizers to split while enjoying the waterfront view on a beautiful day. If you are in the area, I highly recommend!
