REVIEW

Rumba offers Caribbean flavor in an unlikely spot

02-17 Dining Rumba

CLIFF MCBRIDE/STAFF

Rumba Island Bar & Grill offers a relaxed, breezy beach setting where flip-flops are welcome.

JAY CONNER/staff

Fish-N-Chips, Shepherd's Pie and Bailey's Irish Cream Cheesecake are among the specialties at P.J. Dolan's.

The term "Irish pub" conjures images of low ceilings, wood paneling and plenty of beer on tap. Score P.J. Dolan's one out of three.
