    Everything was excellent about Rooney's. First timer. The view was spectacular, even on a rainy Monday day at lunch time. The place was very warm and inviting - homey. The servers were the best. The Wine was half off on Mondays - which was a nice surprise. The artichoke appetizer was amazing. The halibut was the best I've had, as well as the lobster mac a Rooney. Cant wait to go back and try other food.

    The food was excellent…came aa exactly ordered and was hot. The waiter was attentive and professional. Have been there several times and never disappointed. Highly recommend Rooneys in Long Branch NJ. (There are 2 Rooney ‘s restaurants in Long Branch. This “is not” the Rooney’s where all the shops are. )

    We were a party of 4 celebrating a birthday. A card was on the table, the servers were attentive and the food fantastic. What I like the best was there are choices on the menu as well as a lovely buffet. The oysters and sushi were well prepared and fresh. On top of that, there is a killer view of the ocean on a beautiful spring day. Well worth it!
