| - Went to Bomba twice since they opened.
Decor is spacious and airy. They have an outdoor seating area and an indoor seating area that is semi-outdoor which casts a wonderful breeze into the bar area on a (rare) nice Cleveland day.
On both occasions the service was slow in between getting a second drink, ordering meals, getting waters re-filled and cashing out. But, Bomba is still relatively new, and quite packed at times. However, the service is friendly and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the rum. My boyfriend and I got quite the lesson, which we enjoyed.
I was not extremely blown away by the food. The first night I went I ordered a variety of tacos. They were decent, but nothing to write home about, and if I'm in the mood for tacos I will go to a different place and to be fair I will not mention the place on this review. Then, on the second night I got a brisket sandwich. It was delicious, but I wish it had something on the side to accompany it for the price and size of the sandwich its self, which was relatively small.
The happy hour is wonderful. I had a mango-cilantro virgin mojito which was so refreshing and yummy. My boyfriend ordered the rum samplers (flights) which come with three samples (essentially three shots) of various rum accompanied by cards to describe the rums name, where it was produced, the notes, and a fun fact. He ordered the spiced flight, and the premium aged flight. His favorite was the Diplomatico rum. I loved the Kraken spiced rum.
