    The service was horrible. They cannot service the tables they seat. We sat an hour before we received our appetizer and that was only after we complained. When we finally received our food it was under cooked and cold could not even eat it.

    Service was terrible. The bottle of wine we ordered when ordering dinner finally came with our dessert. We had to ask our server three or four times about it. The food was good, but the service was really bad.

    We went for restaurant week and were really disappointed they were out of the rice pudding for dessert. That was one of the deciding factors on choosing the restaurant. I’m not sure if they were short staffed, but there were a couple large parties there at the same time as us and service was very slow. It took about 30 minutes for us to get a glass of water And an hour before we got our appetizer. My friend asked for a cocktail menu and the waiter forgot so we had to ask a second time and she didn’t get her drink until an hour to an hour and a half into the meal.  I asked for a water refill and the waiter forgot, so I didn’t get that until another employee walking by saw and refilled for me. The appetizers and entrées were delicious, minus the fish was slightly overcooked. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very high quality. The scalloped potatoes were absolutely delicious. Both ceviches were very good. The cream cheese flan was like a mix between flan and cheesecake. It was a little too dense for me and it needed a lot more caramel sauce on top to balance out the density. One of my favorite things about flan is the caramel sauce and there really wasn’t any except for what was baked into the top. If I had at least really liked the dessert that would have made up for the fact that they didn’t have the rice pudding, but they didn’t even do the one dessert they had correctly. Overall pretty disappointed in the overall experience and I wish we had chosen one of the many other options for restaurant week.

    Booked this restaurant because of it being San Diego Restaurant Week, and we had never been to this particular restaurant before by the Harbor area, customers are correct beautiful surroundings and views inside and out of restaurants, good customer service from valet to the Restaurant staff, food was a good value since it was a preset menu for $45, went on a Saturday night , had live music in the bar area but it did get extremely loud with the music and the atmosphere of all the people taking in the restaurant … but that’s to be expected.

    The food was not worth 25$ by far. I have had more generously served and better tasting food at small mexican places for a much smaller price. The service was super slow, not attentive and there were only three tables to be attended to. We don't recommend the restaurant Rumorosa at all. Very very disappointing

    It is a very nice restaurant with great views and ambiance. I ordered the taco trio. The tacos only had 1 tortilla so it started breaking apart due to the juicy fillings. Overall it was very nice, I just had to use my fork to eat the tacos.

    Went for restaurant week lunch $25. Good value ordered salad which was great and street tacos (3) fish, mushroom and pork one of each. Tacos just okay nothing great. Seating is terrible chairs and bench seating soft and short compared to tables. Tables too high come to chest level and I’m tall. Uncomfortable seating and I even requested to change table, which was only slightly better. Service is good very accommodating. Ordered a bottle of wine good selection and a lot of Mexican wines from the Valle de Guadalupe.

    My reservation was cancelled because the restaurant closed at 2 pm on the day I had booked. This should have been communicated to Open Table.
