We always love Rooneys... Apps were great, we had 5. There were a few hiccups in our main meals that got sent back, but everyone was happy in the end. Our servers were terrific all around.

Top 5 meals ever. There I said it. Oysters, artichoke and mussels were amazing. The mussels were meaty and flavorful with the red sauce. The artichoke was second to my mom’s. Entrees we made our own surf and turf at the table- prime rib and 2 lb lobsters to split…cooked to perfection, along with the side dishes of Gouda mashed cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and mashed potatoes. Irish coffees, cheesecake and tiramisu did not disappoint and left us rolling out the door. Everything was served to the perfect temperature and everything had the perfect amount of seasoning.
