Editorial Review for rumba – by Mindy Merrell
In Short
Playful tropical colored tabletops brighten the urban industrial black interior. Not just for the bar prowling Generation Y; their well-traveled parents are also here for the cutting edge cuisine. Worldly cocktails anchor this groundbreaking menu combining Latin, South Pacific and Caribbean flavors. The papaya boat salad seems a tropical variation of Nashville's favorite strawberry blue cheese combo, plus ginger sesame dressing. Spicy tandoori mahi-mahi and succulent churrasco aged sirloin are entree favorites.

LOVE Rumba! Those who cant live with a dress code, are the clientelle that this place doesnt need, so open your mind or bugg off already! The food is fantastic, the brunch is a MUST TRY. the best in Nashville BY FAR. We frequent Rumba several times a month and everyone there is nothing but nice to us. Chris, our server last time was fantastic! great attitude, helpful suggestions, and knew practically everything about the wine list. I only wish rumba was open later!
Pros: great service, great bartenders, great food, drinks, etc. EVERYTHING
Cons: not open late night!

Oh ... the cap issue. I have to agree this place really wants to be hip but its just ...I dont know. I was tipped off that I would be asked to take my baseball cap off by a sympathetic waiter. I was caught off guard but he was nice about it. The I got the official request that I cant wear this hat. Which was just silly because there were others with "billed caps" in the place but instead of a ball team on their cap they had rhinestones or factory placed rips, tears, and worn spots. So basically I just wasnt wearing a trendy enough billed cap. Then the waiter was too busy thinking he was a sexaul magnet and gave really careless service. The price does in no way match the quality. Ive been one other time and the place was just ok though the waitress was very knowlegable about the wine and patient and helpful and to be honest I didnt think place measured up to her service, so I gave it another chance and it got worse. The focus is on many things before the customer or what they are eating and I just dont care to spend my time or money for that....thanks anyway.
Pros: leaving
Cons: arriving
