What Alex Lyberth doesn't like about Rumi Brunswick:
Fine food but nothing spectacular and the service was hit-and-miss. It took an eternity to bring out the mains after entrees were finished, and a further 1.32% credit card surcharge on top left a bad taste. View all feedback. What catherine Elizabeth Mason likes about Rumi Brunswick:
Dinner for 3 and we ordered the following dishes: View all feedback.
