Cafe Rum — Restaurant in New York

It’s gonna be a no for me. I’m always looking for a local spot to enjoy good food and drinks. I’ve been in this area all my life and it’s nice to see new restaurants/bars opening up.

Unfortunately, I don’t think Cafe Rum is one of them. Our server was great, she was very friendly and talkative. The menu was small and very pricey for the quality of food.

We ordered the pulpo (21$) for about 4/5 small pieces of over cooked octopus. We also had the Chorifrito (10$) for a few slices of sausage, both apps were also cold. We waited about 20 minutes for apps, following our ($34) Churrasco entree, also cold, and chewy, we couldn’t finish it.

Drinks (14$), mojitos that did not taste like mojitos at all.

We managed to spend 120$ (2 people) on 2 cold apps, a cold entree, and drinks, in Bushwick/Ridgewood. I would stick to heading to the city to pay that kind of money.

It seems the owners were more interested in creating a hangout at the bar of people they know instead of caring about the quality of their food and drinks.

Cafe Rum is overpriced and...

100% recommend this place it's a feel-good atmosphere came here on a Sunday night and the various life music was phenomenal. Only deducting one point coz the renewal of coils for hookah was an additional 20 dollars they don't give u a heads up on, so that felt like a rip off after we had already tipped well on the hookah u gotta pay immediate cash for. Our waitress didn't really speak English so there was also no choice on hookah lol. Else all great really...

Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The food was incredibly flavorful, each dish bursting with deliciousness. The service was impressively fast, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Plus, the vibe of the place was just perfect great ambiance that really enhanced the meal. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience! Five stars...
