    Love the location of the restaurantOur waitress was McKenzie, she was very attentive and courtesy. She provided great service. The food is always the best, however, the asparagus was a little soggy and very small this time. We have been to Rooney’s several times and never seem to get a table near the windows where the boardwalk is. Not sure why is it difficult to get a table there. I still highly recommend Rooney.

    wonderful mid afternoon meal. first time dining here. the menu attracted us . great diversity. decided to have appetizers .. steak and tuna tatares were delicious... followed by cheese plate. for a mid day friday afternoon we may have been the only couple dining so were unrushed . its a bit of a long drive for us but we had been in the neighborhood so decided to try it. will definitely return for a meal which will include entrees next time. a little pricey but everything seems to be that way nowadays.
