Rumrunners - Sidney

When I asked one of them for directions to the restroom, she tsked at me for interrupting and simply pointed, saying, "over there." To make matters worse, the restroom was gross—dirty and with only one functioning toilet. Overall, the service was dreadful. They really need to reevaluate their staff. I won’t be returning.

The food was delicious, but I was disappointed to find that drink refills weren't complimentary, unlike most places in the city. We each had soda and refilled a couple of times, which added up to quite a bit at $3 each for three of us. At no point were we informed that refills would incur an extra charge. Although I would return because the food was great, I would probably forgo the drinks next time.

Terrible food and service! Don't waste your time or money! Our family has given this place several chances, but each time it's been the same: tasteless food and poor service.

Our destination was actually the restaurant about 100 meters away, but it had an hour long wait. Walked over to Rumrunner, which was about half full. There must be a reason for this, right ? Yep, there definitely was. Enough said.

If you're in Sidney on a nice day, this is definitely a good spot to go. Coming in at around 2pm on Saturday, we enjoyed tasty drinks, DELICIOUS fries (seriously. They are mindblowing , a spectacular view and all the sunshine we could get. We were wandering around the beach right by here, gathering up some seaglass and enjoying the day. After a recommendation from one of the members of our group, we decided to head over to Rumrunner. We got an awesome spot on the patio right beside the glass, as close to the ocean as you could get, and had an absolutely wonderful server. I wish I could remember her name but if you end up here, you'll know who she is; she walks around like she absolutely owns the patio and it makes you feel more like you've entered someone's home than a restaurant. Phenomenal! So, we decided to have some cocktails to celebrate the day and I ended up getting a tequila sunrise which is usually too sweet for me but this time around, the lime added the zip that it needed to tone down the syrup and unleash the tequila's flavour. Maybe something that I'll consider trying more, at different places! Okay but the real star of the visit: the fries. These fries are thick, cheesy, and delicious. They have a good amount of parmesan on each of them and have a nice fry on them; enough to give them a bit of a crunch but not enough to make you feel greasy and give you heartburn. They're also served with truffle aioli that give them the additional flavour to make them a masterpiece (I'm not being dramatic, I swear . The only issue I have with them is that there isn't quite enough aioli and we ran out before the fries were done. Once I was introduced to the aioli... I just couldn't go back. ;
