    When you’re in Longbranch; it’s a difference of Rooney’s and McLoones. 😫

    Menu was a bit limited, but food was very good overall. Service was lacking. View was outstanding. We were there early in the season at 4 pm; maybe that's why.

    For me the quality of the buffet was not great. The roasted salmon had a horrible sauce all over it..would have been much better to have it plain with the option to put the sauce on it. Steak tips were so breaded...it felt like there was more breading than meat. Lamb was so overdone...needed the mint jelly to give it any moisture. Green beans were like mush out of a can. Deserts had no flavor and were not worth the calories. Atmosphere was lovely and we had a beautiful view. Our server was very nice but had worked a double and was understandably tired. Had to flag someone else down to ask for coffee...she ran off before we could request milk so just drank it black. Will NOT go back for a buffet...it was probably a mistake to begin with as it is not what we normally look for.

    Our experience was overall great! We had the meatballs as an appetizer but they were cold and we felt bad to send them back. The drinks took 17 minutes from the time we ordered to the time they were on the table. The pasta dishes we got were pretty good, we did penne vodka and the cajun chicken. Our waitress was nice, though a little inattentive to what seemed like a quiet Saturday night inside. The live music was wonderful and we enjoyed sitting against the window with a beautiful view of the ocean. Lastly, my reservation said it was for a birthday, so I thought there might’ve been a dessert that would’ve come out or something similar for my boyfriend, no worries though. Thanks!

    The service was amazing. The chopped salad, raw claims and oysters were delicious. Our entrees were fast. My swordfish was salty with this crust on top that I tried to rub off. The fish was very fresh. My sisters had the short rib but only str the meat and the veggies were very wet and saucy and my other sister had the pork chop but didn't love the fingerling potatoes or the brussel sprouts .. .. not sure I'd return ..
