Reviews
We have been dying to get to The Rum House in Annapolis for a while now, and let me tell you, it was worth every second of the wait. Sometimes when you build a place up in your head, it can’t possibly live up to the hype, but this experience totally exceeded our expectations.
From the moment we walked in, the management made us feel incredibly welcome. It is refreshing to go somewhere where the hospitality feels this genuine. Our server was excellent as well, attentive and clearly proud of the menu they are serving.
The food and drinks were the real stars of the show. We started with the signature rum punch, and you have to love the flames for that extra bit of flair. For appetizers, the lobster bisque was rich and silky, and the doubles were the perfect flavorful start to the meal.
For the main course, the rockfish was cooked to absolute perfection. It was fresh, flaky, and exactly what you want when dining in a town like Annapolis. We managed to save just enough room for the guava cheesecake, which was a tropical, creamy dream of a dessert.
If you are looking for a spot that delivers on atmosphere, service, and incredible Caribbean-inspired flavors, The Rum House is it. We are already planning our next visit.
I read the reviews beforehand and have to say that a lot of the complaints people have with this place seem to have been worked out or were addressed. For example, bread pudding taking a while to cook- they let us know this when we put our orders in in case we planned to order it. They take this place seriously, and it shows.
Now let me speak plainly about the food.
The curry chicken was excellent — beautifully seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The sweetness of the pumpkin paired perfectly with the chickpeas, creating a balanced and satisfying dish, and the roti brought everything together just right. No potatoes were needed — the flavors stood confidently on their own.
The mocktail, a refreshing blend of sorrel with a splash of seltzer, was light, crisp, and perfect for brunch.
We were also treated to a bread basket with fresh, delicate pastries that weren’t overly sweet — a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch.
What truly stood out was the care and hospitality shown by the owners, Dr. Coryse Brathwaite Zebovitz and Dr. Edward Zebovitz. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine commitment to their guests made a lasting impression and reflect the heart behind this establishment.
Between the food, the atmosphere, and the hospitality, this was a memorable experience, and we’ll absolutely be back. If you’re visiting, the curry chicken is a must.
All six courses were delicious and the serving sizes were huge for a tasting menu. We’re very excited to enjoy our leftovers at home. We’ve been to Michelin star restaurants that didn’t even come close to our overall experience tonight. We made the reservation because we received a gift card, but we will certainly be back to enjoy the food and drinks again in the near future. We’re rooting for this place to thrive!
We started with a few appetizers: the oxtail croquettes, scallops, and a prawn dish. For our mains, we tried the gumbo and the crab & dumpling soup. The standout dish of the night was definitely the scallops, they were perfectly cooked and flavorful. Unfortunately, the other dishes fell a bit flat and lacked the depth we were expecting.
For drinks, we ordered the Rumhouse Punch and the Old Athens, both of which were excellent. However, the service from our waiter was disappointing. Despite mentioning that it was our first visit, he didn’t provide any insight into the menu or share recommendations. He rarely checked in with us and seemed to give much more attention to a nearby table. At one point, we ran out of water and drinks and had to wave him down for assistance.
Overall, Rumhouse has great potential.
The ambiance, cocktails, and concept are strong, but the inconsistency in service and some of the food left us wanting more.
One small thing I noticed was that there weren’t any spoons for serving appetizers or sides, which made sharing a bit tricky. Other than that, everything else was wonderful. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was just as inviting as I remembered. I’ll definitely be back and hope the original rum cake makes a return soon.
