Yarumba Restaurant & Lounge

The food and service was great. The server, Carlos, was friendly and very helpful. His recommendations were amazing. Everything we are was yummy. We had: SHRIMP MOFONGUITOS (highly recommend) SURF AND TURF PORK BELLY with SWEET PLANTAIN MOFONGO BOCA CHICA SNAPPER with MOCANO MOFONGO BAKED SWEET COCONUT (highly recommend) Dominican Mule and Passion fruit margarita on the rocks Take note that they add automatically a 20% tip and a 3% card transaction fee which is ridiculous. That is the cost of doing business and the tip should be based on the service. In my case I was going to tip that since our server was great but that should not be automatic.

A great Dominican place with an ample menu. There is something for everyone. Great music and plenty of TV screens. Some tables a low and others are high catering to the different tastes and occasions. You have to see it for yourself. There is also a bar. Don’t forget to try “mori soñando” drink.

I love this place. The authentic food and Dominican flavor is immaculate. The ambient is amazing and welcoming. Andres was an amazing server. I’ll definitely keep coming back and back and back.

I have been coming to yarumba for over 11 years. The service is great and the food is the best. I have been to other places and nothing beats this. My favorite server is Juan. His service is top. He is the yarumba experience. He will recommend the best plates and drinks. Yarumba staff is like family. They treat you very well. El chofan is my favorite.

The service was good and the food was spectacular. The waitress was cool, but the drinks were charged at different prices — some at one price, others at another. Apparently, after 8 PM the prices change, but no one ever mentioned or explained that. I believe, out of respect for the customer, that should be clearly stated to avoid any misunderstandings. It was a shame to realize that after the fact and feel somewhat scammed.

We had a wonderful dining experience thanks to our amazing waiter Andres. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and checked on us at just the right times without being intrusive. It’s rare to find service that feels both professional and genuinely warm, he really went above and beyond. Highly recommend asking for him if you visit!

From the moment you walk in until you leave, the service is exceptional, and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend it.
