Unbelievable dinner! Each course was delicious; finger licking, plate-scraping delicious! The rum list is incredibly extensive, and worth a visit in and of itself. The waitstaff were knowledgeable and friendly. Overall one of the very best restaurant experiences that we've had in the area! we'll be back, Rory! read more

I have been to this restaurant twice and it is a hidden gem. Both times I had a salad. The Thai lo mein, jerk lamp chops and the bread is delicious. It's a house but nicely appointed with various seating options. The servers are always great and knowledgeable. This is a great date night restaurant to experience. read more

Second visit was better than the first! The first time was similar in that the service was great, the atmosphere and just the vibe was excellent. The food the first time was good but not great, I did several small plates. This time it was absolutely amazing! Rumhouse has hit its stride and may be the best restaurant in all Of Annapolis!

We were greeted warmly by the hosts as soon as we walked in. The restaurant is owned by a wife and husband physician team. The decor envelopes you with an embracing tropical feel. Authentic subtle Caribbean foliage and wall paintings. The owner Ed, engaged us in nostalgic Trinidad stories. We started our meal experience with doubles and corn soup, served with all the fixings. Be sure to ask for the pepper on the side. Our entree was Lo Mein and escovitch red snapper. Be sure to add pepper. The accompanying vegetable was fresh and crisp with the perfect blend of vinaigrette sauce. Loved the ambiance and will definitely return. This is a great Caribbean venue if you're looking to connect with your roots. The back patio is perfect as an after glow. Beautiful landscaping and decor. The Rumhouse was a real vibe. To top it all off, the executive chef, Natasha, stopped by to greet us. She is a riot and her warm greeting made the evening everything we desired. read more

We visited Rumhouse for my sis's birthday. It was a surprise, and the surprise aspect went well. She was happy and smiling. As for the for the food, the smiles weren't really there. I love patronizing Caribbean/West Indian restaurants because the culture and food are dear to my heart, but I think Rumhouse missed it. We tried the Crab Cake with Guasacaca, Coconut Callaloo Soup, Oxtail Pappardelle, Crab & Dumplings and the New Orleans Gumbo. For me, the food lacked spice/seasoning. It wasn't the greatest nor was it the worst. I wanted to love the Callaloo Soup so bad, but it was just bland *insert crying emoji here*. The gumbo was just ok. I just don't have anything to rave about. The interior is a bit on the smaller side; so, ensure you have reservations. Service was good. That's all I got. lol...but, enjoy, and try for yourself. Cheers! read more

Rumhouse Feedback received   5 stars   This was my second visit. I highly recommend Rumhouse for upscale Caribbean dining. My friends and I enjoyed our first Afternoon Tea experience.

Since my friend found out that she has family from Barbados, she's become the "Soca" queen and a Caribbean food enthusiast..lol! That said, Rumhouse has become her favorite restaurant. She was excited to introduce me to a new restaurant since she CLAIMS I always pick..smh! I love Annapolis so checking out Rumhouse was a win for her and a win for me! So Rumhouse is just that, a converted house with several dining tables and a small bar. It sort of reminds me of a smaller "Prime 112" in Southbeach, for those who've been. Definitely not as fancy as Prime 112, but Rumhouse has "Island" charm for sure! The food is pricey but GOOOOD! My favorites were the giant prawns, crab cake appetizer and the lamb chops. They make one hell of a Caipirnanha, which just so happens to be my all time favorite cocktail. Service was impeccable! The owners are a married couple, who just so happen to be an Oral Surgeon and OB/Gyn respectively. The male half was there the evening we came and stopped by to say hello. He wanted our honest opinion and we certainly gave it to him. He was extremly pleasant and sincere. Rumhouse is a very nice addition to the Annapolis restaurant scene and I see why my friend likes it so much! read more

Hey friends! I was following this place and was excited about it before they opened their doors so I was happy to finally stop by. Rumhouse is an authentic Caribbean restaurant featuring a Trinidadian Chef. I came during restaurant week and they had an amazing lineup of their most popular dishes. We started off with their bread sampler. It was a combination of various pastries including sweet and savory. Every single one was delicious!!! We had house made butter which was complimented the delicious bread nicely. My curry chicken and rice dish was amazing! Best curry I've tasted yet. Rich and authentic. We ordered rum cake and coconut ice cream for dessert. They were so delicious. The cake had a fresh, made with love taste. I love that they used a quality rum. My boyfriend enjoyed his saltfish entree as well! Our cocktails were amazing! Bartender was friendly. Drinks were strong And had amazing presentation. -Customer service was 10000/10. From the host to our server, to the bartender everyone was super hospitable. They treat you like family. -The offer community tables where you have the chance to sit with new people and make buddies. -Interior is amazing, transports you to an island. It's elegant and inviting. -Parking is a little rough, you have to find nearby street parking. -Pricey but worth it. I'm excited to return for brunch. I hope you enjoy! read more

I love the concept of this restaurant and the overall experience I had! The tip is included in the pricing, which is a really nice touch. What you see is what you pay. The service was impeccable--- I felt welcomed and attended to by everyone I came in contact with. The bartenders were knowledgeable and created unique and great tasting drinks. The decor and vibe of the place was cozy and nicely done. As for the food, it was lot different than what I would aspect from a traditional Caribbean restaurant. As someone who does not eat pork or red meat, I felt my options were limited for entrees. I would come back to try the brunch to try a chicken based entree. read more

A friend put me onto this spot, so I decided to check it out. Let's start with the good: the service was excellent; our server was friendly, patient, and happy to answer all my questions. The space itself is small but super cozy, which I liked. Oh and I enjoyed my cocktail which was a warm spiced rum drink. Now...the reason I came because I was really looking forward to the oxtail croquettes, only to find out they're not available during brunch . So instead I ordered the jerk chicken and plantain waffles. The chicken? Absolutely delicious, flavorful, and juicy. The waffles, however, missed the mark for me. The plantain waffle paired with the nutmeg syrup was just too much nutmeg, which made it taste gritty and slightly bitter. Overall, I'll be back to try their lunch/dinner and make a final decision. read more

Went for a Sunday brunch. Ambience lovely, service exceptional and food excellent. Nadia was wonderful. Jerk chicken with waffles, salt fish, shrimp and grits and chicken roti all very good. For dessert we had the rum cake and the bread pudding which both came with icecream-- delicious! Have been here several times and never disappoints. The bill includes the tip so is very reasonable for such high end service. read more

Amazing Caribbean Restaurant in Annapolis The service was phenomenally good, the staff were friendly, clever and extremely knowledgeable about the food. The main dinning room was beautifully decorated in a very elegantly demure tropical style. The selection of drinks was perfect...with wonderful mojito selections, rum flights and other tropical drinks. The brunch offered familiar foods like chicken and waffles but with a Caribbean Twist. If you are bored with the same ol' life and the same ol' food, I suggest you visit this amazingly delicious restaurant in Annapolis, MD. read more

From the moment you walk into Rum House, you're immediately transported to the islands. The ambience and atmosphere are simply beautiful--laid-back, colorful, and effortlessly tropical. You can tell they put a lot of thought into creating a vibe that feels like vacation. The service? A thousand out of ten. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. It's rare to feel so well taken care of from start to finish. Now let's talk food. The oxtail croquettes and the doubles are an absolute must-have--packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and a great way to kick off the meal. And if you have a sweet tooth, do not leave without trying the rum bread pudding. It was rich, indulgent, and full of that warm, spiced rum flavor that ties everything together beautifully. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is because the entrées fell a little flat--they were on the dry side and lacked the bold flavor I was expecting, especially compared to how great the starters and desserts were. I wouldn't recommend them. That said, the price point for everything was very, very reasonable, especially for the quality and experience. I'll absolutely be back--but next time, I'll be sticking to small plates, drinks, and dessert! read more

I invited eight friends to join me for dinner at Rumhouse on a Saturday evening. Although my reservation grew from six people to nine, the staff was very accommodating. They also allowed separate checks, which helped avoid confusion and was greatly appreciated. I had dined here shortly after the restaurant opened and had mixed impressions then, but I must say there has been significant improvement. The service was excellent. Our waitress was pleasant, responsive, familiar with the menu, and able to answer everyone's questions. The atmosphere was festive yet relaxing, and the owners were present, greeting guests and checking on diners. The level of service was truly outstanding. The food was good overall, with one exception. Five of us ordered the oxtail pappardelle. Two plates had plenty of meat, while the other three had very little. Both vegetable dishes--Everything Green and the charred cauliflower steak--were delicious, and I would definitely order them again with my entrée. The grilled king prawns were well seasoned, but I would skip the beans and rice because they lacked seasoning. The drinks were enjoyable. We ended the meal with two orders of bread pudding for the table. It tasted very good, though the bread could have been more substantial because the texture was quite soggy. Overall, Rumhouse has improved greatly, and I plan to add it to my regular rotation. I think some of the other ladies will, too. read more

What a beautiful experience from beginning to end. The outdoor dining is absolutely gorgeous. You can enjoy brunch or dinner on the beautiful patio with family or friends. I love the Caribbean music and atmosphere. The indoor dining is exquisite. The hostess was so warm and friendly. I loved how they were able to accommodate my needs and requests. I find it so refreshing that the establishment is a family business. Jonathan Dean, Director of Hospitality, was so professional and welcoming. And the owners Ed and Coryse, were so kind and generous. All of the staff were full of smiles and seasoned waiters. This restaurant is Tip-Free and proud to provide their staff with great salaries and health benefits. I think that is so impressive. And the food...... amazing. The coconut bread served at dinner is so delicious with the honey butter and the pastry board served at brunch is amazing. The lamb-chops were delicious and cooked to perfection. I recommend that for dinner and the passionfruit french toast for brunch. The shrimp and grits were amazing as well. Creamy, sweet grits made with coconut milk and the spiciness of the Cajun sauce, made for a yummy sweet and spicy blend of flavors. Yummy! The side salad and drinks were amazing. Make sure you save room for dessert or creamy flavorful ice-cream. Then wash it all down with a Coco spice dessert cocktail and cappuccino to end your dining experience. Enjoy! read more

I had dinner here with my colleagues, and the food was excellent. The service is excellent. We ordered an array of things I had the corn soup, which was excellent. Others ordered doubles, the jerk lamb chops, plantains, oxtail croquettes, this delicious salad. It is a tip free restaurant, which was nice. But if you want to leave an additional tip, you have to bring cash. I didn't read that closely on the site, so I was unprepared with cash. I highly recommend and will be back! read more

$45 for an appetizer consisting of 3 scallops is a bit much. Entrees are very inconsistent.

This was a beautiful restaurant with so much care put into the design of it. The food was really good (especially the scallops and red snapper). The drinks were perfect and the owner and staff were all so friendly. We so enjoyed our time at Rumhouse that I'm sure this will be a regular stop for us. read more

Discovered a new restaurant in Maryland that is worthy of recognition. There is nothing like authentic food from authentic restauranteurs. Nestled in Annapolis is this Caribbean gem of mixed Jamaican and Trinidadian cuisine. The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic of vibrant colors and table setting which is reminiscent of the Caribbean. It appears as though they restored an older 2 story home into a restaurant with a veranda, outside patio/porch in the back with a fire pit, an inside is small with single tables, a chef's table and an outside patio with tables. Creative and colorful dishes that are native to the two islands and let's not forget the alcoholic cocktails and nonalcoholic mocktails. In all transparency, I visited the restaurant on two occasions due to the initial visit being unfavorable. Initial visit with a friend and we both ordered the same food items. Although the service was okay, it was not polished nor was the server able to fluently speak about the menu. The highlight of the first visit was the Golden mojito and the Chef's salad. The entrees charred Cauliflower steak took a long time to come and arrived cool, hence it was sitting a long time before serving. When we informed the server, we were advised we would get a new dish not warmed. And when the dishes returned it was clear they were reheated, as the portions we had eaten from were visible. We informed the owner's son who listened but his response was disappointing. I asked for a to go Cauliflower steak and my friend declined. The next day I ate the take out which was flavorful and an 8-9/10. Given that, my spouse and I made a reservation 3 weeks later to give the restaurant a second chance. This time they didn't disappoint. I had the coconut callaloo soup and peas & rice and my spouse had the charred cauliflower steak. All were well seasoned, flavorful and delicious. The server was well informed, provided good recommendations and was able to provide information about all of our inquiries and was polished with his attire and presentation. I am glad I gave the restaurant a 2nd chance and have even made recommendations to friends. read more

Mother's Day was celebrated at Rumhouse and it was a really nice time. They serve a brunch menu on Sunday so please look at my picture of the menu. I love the restaurants decor and quaintness. The tropical wallpaper was everything and the all pink bathroom was so cute. The soca music playing was a delightful bonus. I ordered the monkey bread with Dubai chocolate, an Old Athens cocktail and the shrimp and grits. My daughter had the Trini plate which consists of stewed chicken, macaroni pie and calaloo. Her Trini plate was really good and tasted authentically Caribbean. I was married to a Trinidadian so I know. I enjoyed the overall taste of my shrimp and grits. I actually may start using polenta like them to make mine at home. The one thing I will say is that it could if had 1-2 more shrimp. It comes with four and there was so much polenta left it needed more shrimp. My cocktail was the truth and I loved the lemon balm in it. Service was amazing from the reception desk to our server who took our pictures for us at the end of our meal. read more

Recommend Rumhouse! Our group of 4 dined Sunday, 11/2/25 and tried several different cocktails and brunch options and we enjoyed them all! The decor and ambiance give an elevated Caribbean feel. The cocktails were creative and well balanced. My favorite was the Madame Coco - so smooth! I loved the Chicken Roti and my husband had the West Indian Shrimp with coconut grits (shrimp were well seasoned but grits were bland on their own - they are obviously meant to be eaten together, but just an observation). My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had the Crab cake Benedict and Calypso Burger and said those were great too! Can't wait to try the dinner menu read more

For my husband's birthday , I took him here as he is from Trinidad as we were looking for Caribbean vibes! First, it's more of a Caribbean-inspired restaurant. I loved how it felt like dining in a lively house buzzing with energy. While waiting for our indoor table, we enjoyed amazing cocktails at the bar, and since the weather was beautiful, For drinks, we tried the Rumhouse Punch, Golden Mojito, and The Confidante, followed by appetizers of Island Ceviche and Doubles. For entrées, we had the Trini Pelau and Signature Escovitch, and we ended the meal with Coco's Rum Cake for dessert. Although my snapper portion was smaller than expected for the price and the flavors leaned more Americanized than authentic, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would definitely go back to give them another try. read more

I had such high hopes for this new local joint, especially in a town that's been starved of creativity and cultural diversity in its dining scene. First, there were many aspects of our service that felt clunky and uninvested, including a sizeable wait upon arriving on time for our reservation, drinks dropping after food, and a lack of knowledge around many menu items. The menu is staggeringly overpriced, especially in the context of how small portions are. The Doubles were the biggest let down. I crave this delicious Indo-Trinidadian dish of pillowy soft bara (flatbreads) ladled full of chana and various chutneys. I was shocked to see the amount of food that landed on the table for $18 -- two thin, deflated almost crepe-like pancakes, lacking that elasticity, slight rise, and softness to sop up the accompanying curry. And as for that curry and the chutney, they barely filled 1/3 of the ramekins that carried them. All of the above was noticeably under seasoned. Look at the size of these Oxtail Croquettes with Microgreen Salad for $24....... Our server explicitly stated that the "Signature" Escovitch ($48) came without its head, which wouldn't have mattered either way to us--there's a lot of yummy tender meat in a fish head. But! What landed on the table was snapper with the head and the head was what composed most of the plate. The belly meat was meager, and had almost disintegrated because the entire thing was overfried, leaching all that flavor from such a delicate fish. The Trini Pelau for Two ($46) was the only saving grace and I'd like to commend the cooking of its protein. The chunks of chicken and beef in rice were tender and fall-apart. But the dish was nowhere near enough food for two people, and it lacked salt and depth. Furthermore, the pigeon peas were incredibly mushy. To find a half-ring of canned pineapple on the Chef's Side Salad ($16???) was the thing that sunk my heart the most. In theory, a restaurant touting traditional and creative takes on Caribbean cuisine is so sorely needed in this town especially since so many restaurants that boast something similar have menus that are pretty white-washed. But the price point Rumhouse currently sits makes it inaccessible for most Annapolitans. And our experience of a menu that didn't achieve the nuanced flavor and texture-, acid-, and heat-diversity these regional cuisines are known for shows there's a lot of room for this restaurant to grow into itself. read more

We came to celebrate our anniversary on the first celebration of National Rum Day. My husband and I are both of Caribbean descent, so we were really looking forward to this. The ambience was absolutely on point--we felt like we were on vacation while out to eat. We were relaxed and enjoyed the complimentary cocktail provided. Since this was a special event, all tables were chef's tables. Because I don't eat beef or pork, they were wonderful about substituting what I couldn't eat. My husband even said he enjoyed my dishes more! I can understand why some people might say the food wasn't strongly Caribbean-inspired, but that doesn't mean it wasn't delicious. We especially loved the lamb and the prawns. I was hoping for the kick of scotch bonnet pepper in the ceviche, but that dish was a little disappointing since I expected more heat. We also tried the flights, and I was pleasantly surprised that they were full cocktails--each one was delicious. As for the pricing, the website clearly states that they price their menu to pay employees a livable wage with benefits. They are a tip-free company, and that was another reason we wanted to come out and support a Caribbean-owned business. We also ordered additional drinks outside of the flights, which we enjoyed--they were unique, and the rum selection is fantastic. read more

Honestly I wanna come back! Rumhouse marketing on IG definitely hooked me in. The aesthetics are superior, the decor, the staff are top notch, and the wait time with our reservation was next to nothing. We were pleasantly greeted at the host stand, Richard made sure we had adequate seating after realizing we had one more person than stated in our reservation, and our server (Theresa?...she had red hair) was more than accommodating with recommendations, her patience with a group of 7, and just overall very pleasant! Food, is on the higher end than my usual outings. But everything I tasted was delicious. I had the lamb chops which were great. The dipping sauce was a bit spicy I felt like it took away the other flavors so I opted out after one taste. It was supposed to be served with some radishes (featured in pictures on the website and Instagram). but sadly no radishes for me. For the price paid...I want everything that is supposed to come with it. The gumbo was ok, but I'm quite picky when it comes to Cajun/creole dishes (as a Louisiana girl, I know good gumbo.) I loved the okra garnish on top. The portion size felt a little more like an appetizer than an entree something to keep in mind when gaging your hungry meter! The crab cake... HANDS DOWN THE BEST I HAVE HAD IN MARYLAND. We honestly should've ordered a one for each person at the table. So delish!!!! The oxtail croquettes were another delightful appetizer but sadly they ran out and we were only able to enjoy 1 of the 2 that were ordered. They also ran out of other dishes, i.e., oxtail pasta and the crab dumplings. So although the lamb wasn't my first choice. I did enjoy it. The drinks were also stellar! I love the featured rum flights as well! I can tell that a lot of thought and planning went into every part of Rumhouse. I definitely would like to want to come back and enjoy some of the other dishes that ran out. If I have advice it's to check the menu to be sure when you get your food exactly what you've ordered with no missing components AND get an early reservation in hopes that they don't run out of food choices! read more

Well let's start by walking in. It is a very nice set up interior design money, well spent. The loudness of the establishment is pretty loud due to the small quaint size. now let's get into the servers, servers are pretty nice. No complaints there. Next we have drinks. Drinks were good. Average price $18 and up food. I personally ordered what the menu called whole fish. The waitress did say it was half fish but upon looking at the website and asking another waitress, it gave it was whole fish because we saw the head placement of the snapper on the website as well. when it got to our table it was not a whole fish. A slither imo. imagine taking one fish and slicing it down the middle to serve to two separate people, one person will have the head & Another person will have the tail for a whopping $45 no sides and less not speak on the pickled veggies that were not pickled. The guests next to me actually sent their entrées back and after reading her review, we had the same dislikes. I personally should've sent mine back as well, but ate the four bites of the fish that I was served. Will I be back? probably not on my dime. And the side dishes pricing should be lower bc portion size. My broccolini was burnt, so money wasted. No flavor either. Please note this is not an authentic Caribbean spot. It is inspired. Bill was $313 for 3 drinks, 3 entrees and 3 sides. Gratuity free restaurant. European salary concept in America ‍ My suggestion to establishment: change menu wording and/or pricing and actual plate sizes to accommodate what is served. My Homegirl said her crab and dumpling soup was delicious so that's a plus. Butter for bread was delish too. Patrons read the reviews before visiting, I didn't. Next day I went to another spot for $35 whole fish with side included read more

Confusing tipping situation. We heard that the restaurant is a non tipping establishment but there was no notation on the menu. When we inquired with the waitress when we received the bill she said that the tip was not included. We asked a few different ways, same answer. When we paid at the table using the handheld she said the tip could not be paid via credit card, cash only. When we expressed concern that some customers may not be able to til as much because who carries cash she shrugged We left a generous tip via cash only to find out the next day that tip was included What's disappointing is that we feel like the waitress misled us. In addition the dishes seemed extremely overpriced not realizing the service fee was included. Put a damper on the evening. Not sure I'll be back as I feel as if I was deceived. read more

We only went for brunch- on Sundays it closes at 3 and only serves brunch. Any restaurant called Rumhouse you would expect nothing less than delicious and very different for the price but strong drinks. I would have to say they do deliver. the rum punch was not a traditional punch and was excellent as a matter of fact we went back for two $18 - it wasn't skimpy on the alcohol so we were ok with the price.. I cannot say as much for the brunch food while tasty the saltfish was good, but it was in a ramekin around 6 ounces total of chopped salt fish with other ingredients. It was enough for me, but I'm sure others may be disappointed it was Served with two soft warm, coconut bread Rolls. The coconut bread was amazing. Saltfish & Coconut Bake Salted Cod and Fluffy Coconut Bread - $24 - My husbands Caribbean burger, well I will say (the breads are homemade in House.) the burger bread was way larger than the actual burger the burger resembled a hockey puck (at least his did.) It was cooked medium which my husband liked. The menu bragged there was chowchow served with it and caramelized onions and goat cheese however none of it was barely noticeable on the burger if at all. So that was super disappointing. The sweet potato fries were good, but not substantial sized cut sweet potato fries, more on the smaller cut size. So they definitely missed the mark on tasting the sweet potato flavor being cut small and super thin. Calypso Burger with Sweet Potato Fries Arugula, Caramelized Onions, Goat Cheese, & Chow Chow - $28 - Overall the porch seating and ambiance is great. The wait staff was on point. We will go back for the drinks for sure and we are curious to try dinner. The manger is a bit curt he wasn't the highlight of our day. This was a small glitch and nothing the waitstaff didn't quickly make up for. read more

Rumhouse offers a visually stunning dining experience with beautiful island-inspired decor and an authentic Caribbean soundtrack that immediately transports you. The ambiance is nearly perfect - you can almost forget you're in the city, though the UDF next door occasionally breaks the tropical illusion. The beverage program is definitely a highlight - creative, fun cocktails that are as delicious as they are inventive. The drinks really capture that Caribbean spirit and show real creativity from the bar team. The food presentation is absolutely spectacular - every dish arrives with the kind of dramatic flair you'd expect from a high-end establishment. The plating is Instagram-worthy and shows real attention to visual detail. Unfortunately, while the food looks amazing, the flavors don't quite live up to the presentation. The dishes felt somewhat muted and lacking the bold, vibrant spices and heat that make Caribbean cuisine so distinctive. For a restaurant positioning itself as a Carib establishment, I expected more authentic, punchy flavors that would match the beautiful atmosphere and excellent cocktails they've created. The service was solid and the overall experience enjoyable, but there's definitely room for the kitchen to dial up the seasoning and bring more authentic Caribbean fire to match their excellent presentation game and stellar drink program. read more
