    Seated quickly and water brought to the table while we chose drinks. I ordered a luscious Pomegranate Sour cocktail and my companion had a glass of Prosecco. We ordered 3 share plates: chips with aioli, pork belly with apple sauce, and tempura cauliflower bites. All were delicious, but the cauliflower bites, which came with a sweet chilli agave syrup sauce, were the standout. Definitely a dish to come back for!

    Requested the upper levels but when hot there was told there is a wedding so not able to get our request. Would have been nice to have been told that seeing how I spoke with the restaurant on the day to changed the time. The food was amazing and plentiful, but again they had run out of prawns so was disappointed All in all good very good. Was very busy but did not have to wait long for the meals

    The staff at Jimmy Rum were so accommodating. They assisted us with our birthday cake, and the live band even sung happy birthday! It was a welcoming, and comfortable environment. With a wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Food and drinks were delish! Highly recommend.
