RumFish Grill — Restaurant in Tampa

Other than the fish tanks, from start to finish, the time there was terrible. The staff was rude and the food was disgusting. We were all excited to go there, but now, we will not be returning and I will never recommend anyone to go there. When we first arrived, it was about 15 minutes from our reservation time. We were told to wait by the bar, and when the time came around, I went and asked if our table was ready. It wasn’t and I was very rudely told that. We waited longer, and about 30 minutes after our reservation time, I went back up and once again, rudely informed that our table wasn’t ready, the customers were paying and once they were gone, we would be called (text). More time went by, nothing. My Aunt eventually went up there, and miraculously, I received a text well after our time. Once at the table, only half of our guests were offered a refreshment. The other half only received water. When the bread was brought out, the plates were practically thrown in front of us. When our food arrived, there was no flavor for all the entree’s. It was so loud we could barely hear our own conversations and we were rushed throughout our entire dinner. Probably because it took them so long to seat us, the restaurant was about to close. All I wanted was a nice dinner for my mother’s birthday, and I definitely didn’t get that. I even reached out to the restaurant afterwards and explained what happened, but I shouldn’t have ever expected them to get back to me based on how we were treated. Maybe others have had good experiences, but we definitely didn’t. We will not be returning. I don’t normally leave reviews, good or bad, but this needed...

What an INCREDIBLE experience!! Our server, Alberto, was an absolute rockstar!! Our flight had been delayed 3 times and now we found ourselves looking for dinner rather late with most of the places at the airport closed already. Thankfully we had 30 minutes or so before Rumfish closed and we found a table and sat down. We were quickly greeted by our server, Alberto. He gave us menus and took our drink orders. We quickly chose our food from the menu, both my wife and I having items that just sounded good to us. When Alberto took our order, I remember how impressive it was to me that he didn't have to write any of it down. And when the food came out, it was PERFECT and DELICIOUS!! I had the Blackened Grouper Sandwich and Gina had a burger on a GF bun. Both were outstanding! After sharing with Alberto how appreciative we were for his excellent service and for the incredibly delicious food, even though they were getting ready to close shortly after we, there last customers, finished, I was still so amazed that such a delicious meal could be had at an airport restaurant in the last hour of their day. Thankfully before we left to head to our gate we had the chance to also speak with the manager, Jo'el. Talking with Jo'el, I could see how, from his demeanor and interacting with us, his staff (Alberto) also has a superior customer-service minded attitude about their work. It is truly a breath of fresh air to have such a great all-around experience from any type of business these days. Thank you Alberto, Jo'el and Rumfish Grill at Tampa...

Wish I had read the other Reviews. before my wife and I decided to try and enjoy a nice diner before leaving Tampa. we had a hour before are flight. so we went to the Rum fish. got seated right away. (They were not very busy) we ordered are food as soon as the sever came. and told her are plane boarded in just over an hour. She said no problem. well 45 min. later we get are food. Well first bad sign was the plates where hotter then the food. but I over looked that at first till I tried to eat my Chicken. Chicken was old, Over cooked had the worst flavor i have ever had. after trying to eat two small bites I sent it back. (two bites to many). The service was nice asked me if I wanted anything else.told her I didn't have time to wait. that I had a plane to catch. so she took the chicken back. credited me my meal. and Gave my wife and. I a free bottle of water for are trouble. Asked to see the manager and of coarse they never showed up. Let me tell you there is nothing like get sick from your dinner at 38,000 feet. longest flight home Ever. Thankfully the flight attendances were awesome. Do yourself a favor go to the news stand to eat your dinner I'm positive the sandwiches in the case will be fresher then what you will get...
