   Server was outstanding. Very helpful with explanations and recommendations for first time diners. Some prices seemed high for amount of protein - $38 for shrimp kebab with 5 medium sized shrimp. Quality of food was good. Noise level not bad - could carry on conversation with no issues. Valet parking was fine - no excessive wait.

   Lovely ambience to dine in with fresh foods which define the experience are only in competition with the genuine air of hospitality in the attentive service. Trust the staff to guide your selections if unfamiliar with the Persian offerings. And while I’m not a man of favorites… two appetizers are a must. Grilled Shrimp: garlic, black pepper, saffron, jalapeno feta cream sauce. Extraordinary. Kibbeh Nayyeh (Lamb Tartare). Unknown to my experience prior to Rumi’s. Stunning dish enjoyed with raw onion and juice of lime… Wauw.

   The restaurant is beautiful - free valet and ample parking garage with elevator. Not being one that really cares for Persian food, I was able to find many options that were delicious and served beautifully. Karen was outstanding with her suggestions and service.

   This was such a good restaurant at launch. Now, the launch team is off to another place, and the new team is second-rate. Mis-timed drinks, servers that don't know how to open wine, cold food. It's such a travesty. We'll try them again, hoping the holidays stretched them thin.

   Have been here many times and it’s always delicious and on point. Was taking friends out to celebrate a milestone birthday. Was seated over 30 minutes after our reservation time and no one apologized. Our drinks took another 30 minutes also, no apology or explanation. Only some of our appetizers came. Had to ask multiple people to refill water and to take the rest of our order. The food was delicious as always but the service was beyond poor. Was embarrassing considering we were treating and celebrating our friend.
