We enjoy Rooneys whenever we go. There is plentiful parking, especially off season. The restaurant is lovely and the enclosed Glass-front room facing the ocean is perfect. The weather today was beautiful, and viewing the ocean as you relax at your table is enjoyable. The food is delicious, and Scott, our server , provided excellent service. My friends and I had a delicious, wonderful day!

Rooney’s never disappoints. The food is always fresh. Our servers are always great and very attentive. We love the atmosphere and being by the ocean. Once again we were thrilled and enjoyed a beautiful Anniversary dinner. Thank you!

The food was good overall and the view is great. The service was ok. Once of the meals the skirt steak was not worth the price at all! Other than that the food was very good.

As usually, food and atmosphere were perfect! Waiter didn’t really pay attention to us this time, but it didn’t ruin our experience. Next time in the area, will make sure to stop by for dinner

We were celebrating our 27th Anniversary and had possibly the best Anniversary dinner ever. They found us a seat outside at our request an hour earlier than our reservation and didn’t rush us at all for the 2 1/2 hours we were there. The view of the ocean was amazing, but the food was even better. To top it off they brought dessert out to us “on the house” with Happy Anniversary written in powered sugar on the platter! Amazing experience!!
