    Excellent salmon with chili sauce, mushroom risotto, broccolini. Also crab cake was great. Miss the pita chips and hummus they used to serve.

    We were looking for a nice place to eat for our 41st anniversary and chose Rooneys based on location and ambiance. The food and views were fantastic! Had the tuna bruschetta and seafood cocktail for appetizers, very tasty! I had the mahi mahi broiled with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She had the tuna and carrots, also very tasty. The dessert was gelato in a hard shell chocolate bowl, with caramel drizzle. Good portions were served and we were not rushed. Definitely worth the hour drive and will plan to return!

    LOVE LOVE LOVED Rooney's Came to Long Branch for a girls weekend. Made a reservation for Sunday Brunch through Open Table. The restaurant contacted me to inform me that brunch was unfortunately done for the season and wanted to confirm I wanted to keep my reservation. Their transparency was refreshing and appreciated. We went to check out the restaurant Saturday night and ended up staying for dinner. The food, service and atmosphere was 5 stars. We kept our Sunday reservation as well and were equally impressed. Bravo, Rooney's!

    I recently went with my wife, our toddler, and my wife’s best friend for my wife’s birthday. Rooney’s helped  my wife to feel special. The food was phenomenal. We had calamari for one of our starters, and I chose the newly added menu item of chicken parmigiano and the sauce was outstanding.  You get what you pay for and Rooney’s is a perfect mix of casual and refinement. Highly recommend.
