Price: $$$ Food: Fusion Atmosphere: Laid back upscale Review: Rumba has an awesome mix of good music and good food. Live music outside on the patio on the summer nights was a plus. They have a good amount of drinks to choose from. They are minutes from Clearwater Beach, so the beach theme is implemented throughout the restaurant. Let's not forget the real reason why we visit this place once a month, the food. If you need to try something, make it the crab cakes.
