RUMBA Island Inspired Cuisine & Rum Bar…read more 5257 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70006 #tonylameats I tried coming here the first time and the wait was packed, so I had to call it an early night. I'm glad I gave it another shot because this place was worth the return trip. The vibe immediately transports you to the Caribbean with colorful decor, island music, and a fun atmosphere. My foodie friend and I started with a couple of cocktails: the Caribbean Rum Punch and the Passion Fruit Piña Colada. Both were strong, refreshing, and definitely not shy on the rum. For appetizers, we ordered the Dominican Ribs, glazed with sweet chili, ginger, and soy. These disappeared fast and easily became one of my favorite bites of the night. I would come back just for the ribs alone! For entrées, we shared: Zydeco Redfish - Cajun grilled redfish topped with fried shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, Creole reduction, and veggies. The red fish was cooked perfectly and was the standout dish for me. Island Ribeye - A 13oz ribeye marinated in pineapple ginger soy, served with whipped sweet potatoes and pistachios. Great flavor with a nice island twist. And of course, we had to get a side of fried plantains because you can never go wrong with plantains. Great food, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to check out their happy hour soon. Tonylameats Approved

The food is wonderful as is the staff, but the prices keep going up and up and I no longer find it worth the price. I went in the other day to find the menu had been reprinted and it is just too expensive. The meat is no longer top grade. Some drink prices are ridiculously expensive. Even the lobster in the filet is the size of an almond. It is time to overhaul this place if they want to compete with good local restaurants.

Her response to my question was "they start off green". I responded with the menu says "Fried Green Tomatoes". She laughed and walked off. To make things worse, it took twice as long to get my drink as it did for my 3 red and 1 green fried tomatoes. I should have stayed at Gate B2 for something to eat while waiting on my flight.
