About The Rum Runner

The Rum Runner offers a lively atmosphere and friendly service, with a variety of appetizers and a beautiful location on the dock side of the Bay. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views from all areas of seating, especially from the balcony where they can watch boats go by as the sun sets. The interior is stunning and provides both indoor and outdoor dining options, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. The menu is diverse, featuring options from seafood to steak, and includes plenty of vegetarian choices like salads and vegetable sides that can serve as main courses. The Brussels Sprouts are a popular "table" option and are known to be delicious. Some diners have experienced minor issues, such as needing more information about the cheeses on the appetizer cheese board and occasional dry halibut. During dinner time, the restaurant can get very noisy, particularly with a live singer, which may be disruptive at times. Cocktails are priced higher, but overall, the value is good for an upscale restaurant. Many guests enjoy the food, drinks, and especially the views, making it a favorite spot for a relaxing afternoon or early evening. The food was highly praised, with favorites like the skirt steak, seafood risotto, and garlic Parmesan wings, though pasta portions are small. The staff is friendly and efficient, answering all questions, particularly regarding allergies, adding to the positive experience.
