We are a Murphys regular and have never had a bad experience. We visited for dinner this time, our server was kind and attentive (but not too attentive to be annoying), our appetizer came out quickly and was delicious. We each got the roasted chicken as entrees - loving the fall complements that have been added to the dish.

I had the best time at Rumi’s. The atmosphere was excellent, the food was incredibly good. The drinks were innovative and tasted amazing. I’m glad I chose to spend my Anniversary here. My wife and I loved it, and our waiter Marcus was phenomenal, so knowledgeable on everything and had the best service we could ask for. Would recommend for sure!
