RumRunners was my favorite restaurant of the places where we ate (keeping in mind that about half of the restaurants were closed due to the off-season). We had lunch there on two separate occassions and the food was very good both times.
RumRunners is located on the waterfront, part of the Hotel Caravelle. You'll run right into it as you walk along the boardwalk. They offer breakfast, lunch (with strict hours), happy hour and dinner. Their specialty is the seafood, including 'catch of the day'.
The tables actually have tableclothes and they provided real service-wear - no plastic or paper. The drinks were in glasses, not stryofoam cups, and the amount of ice was generous so the drinks were cold.
The restaurant is open on three sides with ceiling fans to help keep things cool. A lobster cage is just off the boardwalk but I did not see any lobsters inside. There is a rocky section along the front, between the boardwalk and the restaurant. We watched as a family of crabs crawled out from the rocks and scooted across the restaurant floor over to our table. I pointed out to my youngest daughter that the crab salad she was eating was probably the baby crab's daddy. She quickly put her fork down and could not eat any more of her lunch. I then finished off her meal.
We really liked their salads. Most of the lettuce served on the island was not very fresh and crisp, however RumRunners must have had a different supplier. Their fresh vegetables were exactly that: fresh. The salad included strips of summer squash and carrots along with several different types of greens. The salads were topped with generous portions of lobster or crab. We also tried their wraps, with the Cruzan wrap being the favorite. The inside had rice, various types of seafood and spices frequently used on the island. The fish and chips special was okay, containing a bit too much fried food for me.
My very favorite was one of the specials ordered by my oldest daughter – Angel hair pasta with lobster. The pasta was cooked perfectly and wrapped around large pieces of lobster. The sauce was superb. It was a light sauce, not tomato based, but full of seasonings and spices that I could not identify. It was great. I appreciated the large portion so I could finish it off after she had her fill. If the angel hair pasta is on the daily special menu, I recommend getting it.
Entries for lunch started around $10, plus drinks and tip. We were spending as much for a lunch as we expected to spend for dinner meal. The restaurant prices everywhere were expensive, so this was inline with the rest of the island.
