Rumba - Crab cake - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton Bays, New York

On a rainy weekend afternoon the place is still jammed packed because it's just that good The waitstaff is attentive despite its hectic atmosphere and the food does not disappoint. We had a plethora of appetizers and there wasn't one dish on the menu that wasn't great but Oh my god the ribs! They are melting off the bone and the perfect amount of sauce in them. It's one of those dishes you remember fist years to come And let me not forget to share about the duck wontons I can still taste them on my taste buds! Fantastic! Well done! Bravo! Rumba is definitely a must try if you're out East read more

Rumba - Let's get ready to RUmba! - Caribbean Near Me - Hampton Bays, New York

Delicious meal and wonderful service! Me and my husband had dinner here on our way for our 20 year anniversary trip to Montauk. The ambiance is fun and tropical. Great for families, friends or special occasions. What stood out was how they asked if we were celebrating anything and when told we were celebrating our anniversary they gave us champagne and played our first dance song. It was such an unexpected treat for me and husband to have the restaurant acknowledge our special occasion. Would highly recommend this place and will be returning soon. read more

What a great restaurant can't wait to go back highly recommend the ribs. They were the best I've ever had in my life. The jerk chicken tacos were also very good. I just wish that the taco shells were crunchy. It would've added an extra layer of texture to the taco And also the drinks were amazing. read more

The view on the water is gorgeous. We came here for lunch after a wine tasting. We called to ask about the corkage fee and they said if it's from a local winery, the corkage fee is complimentary for one bottle. Brilliant and awesome! We shared the curry clams to start which was beautiful in green curry sauce and soaked in goodness. I had the burger which was juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were thick seasoned just right. My cousin had the fish tacos which were tender and bursting with flavor. Service was so attentive and friendly, and the view just beautiful. Highly recommend you come and experience yourself! read more

Absolutely everything about this place is perfect: location, food, service, drinks, vibe. I will say, the restaurant comes up fast so be aware that when you are driving by, you'll come up to it and then BAM, there it is haha. My friend and I got the coconut shrimp to start and the pieces were huge! So flavorful and crispy and the sauce was delicious. We shared tacos (taco Thursday!? Sign me up!) - a Brussels one, a shrimp one, and a fish one, and some coconut risotto and literally everything was divine. Only advice would be to grab a sweatshirt if you're sitting outside in the late afternoon! read more

I am a fan! We were craving some food with flavor so on our way to Montauk, I asked my uber driver to pick us up in South Hampton, wait for me while I picked up the food we ordered in advance from Rumba. We could not wait to dig in so we asked permission to eat in the car from South Hampton to Montauk. He was such a great sport. My order was ready when I arrived and when I checked in on Yelp and noticed that I qualified for a Yelp discount and was able to get my bill adjusted because of the perk- Yay for being a Yelper! We ordered the Coconut shrimp Island Ribeye, which came with mashed sweet potato Side of Sweet Plantains Side of Island slaw Zen Garden Curry Veggies Our fave were the coconut shrimp and the island ribeye. The mashed sweet potato was a little strange. But those sweet plaintians were a hit. The slaw abs the curry veggies were not that great but decent enough as veggie options. Next time I hope to be able to actually dine in, enjoy the view, reggae music, and good service. read more

I visited Rumba at 1:30 PM for an appetizer and a drink. While the cocoanut shrimp was fantastic as usual and the drink and bar service was very nice, the atmosphere was not at all pleasant. There was a table of two mothers and three very young children, under 3 years old. Children will be children but when one is constantly screaming and the other is banging on the table with a sippy, it is extremely uncomfortable. I left early, but not before suggesting to the receptionist that it was too bad the family couldn't use the private room that was available. I was told that Rumba is a family oriented restaurant and that meant they could seat them wherever. Basically, I was told I would have to accept it. I did say I would have stayed longer but I got the message to go elsewhere. read more

Came here for dinner via the Cowfish to Rumba courtesy boat at the start of 4th of July weekend. Arriving here by boat is just so cool, and I still can't believe this boat ride is actually free. We'd made a 7 pm reservation for two but wanted to sit outside, which ended up resulting in a bit more of a wait. The hosts were apologetic and you could tell they were in the middle of dealing with a ton of chaos trying to get everyone seated after the happy hour rush cleared out. After about a half hour we were seated outside just in time to watch the sun set. The ambiance of this place is cool and Caribbean themed, as is the menu, which makes for a fun atmosphere since Rumba is situated on the water. This menu is a welcome change to anything else you'll find out here in the Hamptons. We started off with the Dominican Rib appetizer which was fall off the bone tender, a perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Next, we split the soy and sugar cane salmon which was perfectly cooked and paired impeccably with the coconut risotto and the Caribbean Mahi, served with amazing plantains. If you're in the Hampton Bays area and feel like you can't possibly look at another menu that's nothing but lobster rolls, this should be your next spot. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The tacos were full of flavor, and the view of the ocean made everything even better. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the food was just perfect. Definitely coming back! read more

My friends and I had a fantastic time here. We decided to pay a trip to the Hamptons for a friend's birthday in the dead of winter and spent most of it at the rental house with the exception of Rumba for one dinner and it was sooo worth it. The food was amazing, the wait staff were extremely kind to our large table of 9 people, even as they were waiting on the rest of the full restaurant, and my friends could not stop talking about how good the drinks were. As a self-proclaimed "mussel connoisseur", whatever the curry-type sauce that they used for this dish was the best I've ever had (all my friends kept asking to try one and I begrudgingly allowed it...). I decided on the special of the night which was shrimp in some kind of curry sauce and it was also insane!!! We also loved the interior design - it felt authentic and between the ceiling fans and the monkey statues, we kept finding something new to look at. If I ever find myself back in the Hamptons, I will 100% be eating here. read more

Very satisfied with this restaurant! Drinks were great - I recommend getting the rum flight or the craft of rum punch! For apps, my friends and I started with the wings and the crab cake (special) - both were tasty! All our entrees were packed with flavor and every bite was delicious! Really cute vibes inside and if you want an amazing server, Tatiana was THE BEST. She was kind and on point with all of our orders/requests! Only one note if you are a Shrimp & Grits fan, the grits have corn in them! We were surprised, but it was still good. Definitely coming back again! read more

Rumba was on our radar for a while, after all we have read and heard here on Yelp. Well, we thought perhaps it was overrated (?). Not. Upon arrival, (and this is November, post summer peak season in the Hamptons) we find the place is packed and everyone is having a great time. We realized this is the place to be on a cold November Sunday late afternoon. We ordered: - Grilled Shrimp Salad - for moi - Breakfast Brunch Burger - for hubs , he was very very happy with his choice. - Plus, Caribbean Bellinis - amongst other island style beverages. To end our meal, we ordered their recommended Key Lime Pie. It was the best key Lime Pie North of the Florida Keys. And, Yes I have been there numerous times in my life. I know key lime pie. *** efficient staff *** ***outdoor dining during warmer months ** ***good tropical music (Reggae) *** Enjoy!! Yes, we will definitely return. Thank you for reading! read more

Definitely a hot spot on a weekend! We came for a late dinner and the crowd was still going. Very fun vibes and a great menu. Loved the drink options, as well as the food menu. Creative cocktails and mocktails. Tasty and fun options for entrees. Duck empanadas were delicious (so much so we ordered a second round). Loved the tacos, and they were decent in size. Prices were fair for the area. Friendly staff and an overall nice evening out. Would definitely be back! read more

My friends and I arrived around 3 pm on a Saturday and were able to be seated right away outside. We ordered drinks an app and our meal all at one time. Unfortunately, my dunch lunch/dinner arrived late and the salmon was way undercooked in my salad. I had asked the waitress to have it cooked a little more. Waitress was great and very accommodating. However when the meal was returned I could not eat the salmon. Hard as a rock. Did not want it at this point as it was late coming out and my friends had finished their meal. Waitress once again did the right thing and did not charge me for the salmon. It did put a bit of a damper on the outing. Not a real big deal but I go often and have never had a problem. Not sure if they have a new chef. Will definitely go back as this was probably an isolated incident I hope. read more

Beautiful vibe place! I love the outdoors bamboo look. They even have a nice back patio. Ordered: 1 Rasta Taco (Vegetarian) - super delicious. I would order more! 1 Fish Taco - Great flavors 1 Shrimp Taco - nicely seasoned shrimps inside 1 Sweet Potato Mash - very, very good. 1 Double Dip - the jalapeño cheese is recommendation to order. 1 Caribbean Rum Punch Carafe - the carafe tasted like juice and no alcohol, the waitress quickly corrected it and it was well made. My friends ordered the pork with coconut risotto - risotto was with it! The ribs were super moist and had a wonderful color to it. She devoured it. I would recommend this place for food and a good experience. read more

Follow the music, and "Rhumba" your way over to Rumba, for cocktails that pack a punch, and dishes loaded with flavor. The amount of heat in the Mezcal Mango Chile Margarita was just right, and the Rocket Fuel was sweet and strong. My party of 3 enjoyed the tacos, Dominican Ribs, Chili-Rubbed Pork Tenderloin, and Salmon. Definitely check them out if you're in the Bays! And remember, if you're ever unsure of where to dine, and need some help, just turn to Yelp! We'll point you in the right direction:) read more

One of the last fun places to visit west of the canal, that is welcoming for visitors, shows people the water, and has good drinks, and food with a kick to it. Definitely have lost too many fun places on the water .. making way for vacation home owners and year rounders wanting quiet... This place tries hard and succeeds accommodating visitors - they have shuttles for parking so no one has to shlep blocks or get hassled for parking on the street... Fun times are still here.... Island inspired cuisine and drinks are reliably good. Best thing is to go outside on the deck and enjoy the outside... weather permitting. read more

The food and vibe was really good. They played some really good Spanish music and the food was so good. We started with the guacamole and chips which also brought a side of cheese as well. It was delicious. For our entrees I had the Dominican ribs with sweet potato mash and my girlfriend had the jerk chicken taco with a side of sweet plantains. The ribs were so flavorful and with the right amount of bbq sauce. The sweet potato mash was outstanding, I could have eaten a whole plate of them. My girlfriend enjoyed her taco but the sweet plantains were so good. We really liked this place, definitely a gem. The service was excellent, they took care of us immediately. read more

It's our first time here in Rumba. Parking valet guy is on top of it. You already know it's going to be a good place to get food and drink. Starters are all delicious tuna, shrimp, and then ribs. Then we got salmon for entree. Everything was amazing. Service was really great, super helpful staff. And lastly the environment/ambiance is really nice and super chill. Will 100% Recommend this place. read more

Great tacos, ribs, salads and very friendly staff. Very cool vibes and awesome views.

Good experience but not quite 5-stars I was hoping for. Caribbean Mahi delicious- firm square of fish on bed of caramelized plantains in pool of coconut cream (that I'd kill to have recipe for) finished with avocado decoration. Tropical flavors is something my everyday life is missing & not so easy to come by in the restaurant landscape. Tried West Indies Breakfast Taco- pretty sure this is their sweet spot. Smokey rib meat, lime crema refreshing, soft taco nice firm texture. Shrimp Haiti had great peppery heat, but dish's other elements did not stand up well to spice. Appetizer Coconut Shrimp, c'mon 3 shrimp? Husband & I each had 1.5 shrimp of which I mainly got a bite of tail shell. We agreed mayonnaise-like horseradish dipping sauce did not seem like right compliment- a bit bold for tropical flavor & thick consistency meant spooning on top or losing shrimp & its jacket. Took Key Lime Pie & Tres Leche cake home. Hours later both were still very good. Seated on outdoor deck with beautiful view, but also somewhat forgotten about. A little more forgivable when indoors, not when sweating thirstily in sun. Tall chairs difficult to mount & ledge we ate off felt a little unkept. Agree with other reviewer, placemats. Didn't think inside was too appealing- place could use a little sprucing up. read more

We had made brunch reservations and were here to celebrate a birthday in our group. We were seated right away on our large 7 people table and were attended by a server as soon as we were seated. This place has an amazing view, so I can see this place be an excellent setup on a sunny day. We ordered a couple of appetizers and entrees, and I ordered the veggie burger which was a house made quinoa, lentil, black bean burger. The first few bites went in easy, but as the burger got colder, I was struggling with every bite. The burger lacked flavor and the sauces weren't really helping elevating the taste either. Food was on the expensive side. Service however was excellent and they have a very friendly and welcoming staff. The place got really busy around 2 and there weren't many open tables. read more
