The most perfect dinner with friends on the most perfect evening. Everything from drinks to dessert were amazing. The had a wonderful Asparagus pasta special that we all shared among other apps. The lobster is always amazing. Although many go for the seafood the meat dishes should not be overlooked. Especially when the Pork Chop. The view is always spectacular and so is the service! Can't wait to go back soon.

Service could have been better, but a huge storm hit while we were there and all the diners seated outside had to be brought in, making for some confusion and a LOT of noise. That said, the food was delicious & the view is great.

Service was extremely sloe and the prices were exorbitant. $10 per shrimp! The sampler we were encouraged to order seemed like it had frozen seafood and smothered in spicy sauce. Very disappointed. We won’t be going back.

Came back to see if it would be as good as our first visit and actually surpassed it! Everything was delicious- appetizers as well as main courses, food came out so quickly(good with a three year old in tow) and our server Jessica was so great to deal with

My family had an excellent time at this restaurant. We ordered crab cakes and Sushi: Sloppy Johns. Both the furnishes were excellent! We also ordered chocolate lava cake for dessert and it was very good. The server did an excellent job of notifying us of the specials and what’s good.

Lovely venue and we were seated on time. First time here. I ordered crab cakes and was told that they would be lump crab meat… not so. The crab cakes were a bit dry. Cocktails were good, but martinis were not o rely generous portions. My husband had the Tile Fish special and said it was perfect. Other family ordered Chicken Parm… huge piece of chicken, and 2 guests had lobster dishes and said they were delicious. Beautiful view of the Ocean and very friendly and attentive staff.

We had a delicious dinner at Rooney’s. For appetizers we had calamari which was yummy. We also had grandma’s meatballs which we loved. Appetizer sushi was delightful. The swordfish with lemon butter was tender & moist. Mushroom risotto & califlower with feta was delicious. The lamb shank was very tasty. We enjoyed the apple crisp dessert with cinnamon gelato. Great way to end the meal.
