    Food was nice. Fresh calamari, flavors were great. Star of the show was our server, Mackenzie. Once we ordered, she took care of everything. First time I think, I didn’t have to ask for anything. We never had an empty glass, a dirty table or plates, and she always had a big smile.

    2nd time at the Sunday Brunch and this time brought a larger group. Everyone thought it was outstanding and the best brunch around. The group ordered from the kitchen items plus also enjoyed the plentiful buffet options and the Raw Bar items. The wait staff was very attentive and did a nice presentation with the Birthday dessert tray. It does get busy and that's understandable considering how delicious the food was. No pics to share as we were all too busy enjoying our food.

    We had a wonderful dining experience last night at Rooney’s. We were very warmly greeted by the hostess Carly who seated us with a big smile. The room was beautiful. The service we received was fabulous. Mackenzie our server was wonderful. She was very kind, patient, very attentive and personable. She answered our questions and provided information about particular dishes. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Overall we really enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back very soon. Brunch sounds amazing!!! Thank you, Sandra M.

    As always, the Rooney’s total experience is incomparable! The restaurant operates as the consummate “ well oiled machine “ - the pacing of food delivery is spot on & the quality is never less than “ a ten “ !!! A true gem located down the Jersey Shore ( the Oceanside location is stunning ) 👍👍
