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.

Fried cod special was amazing- light fluffy and not a bit greasy. Delicious bun too. Salad was fresh and crispy; churros were so good, covered in honey and cinnamon! And you can’t beat the view! And our server was lovely and efficient!

From the moment we were greeted to the time we were given our coats back it was an A+ experience. The food was amazing, staff was friendly and the cocktails were delicious. We were there in a Friday night so we were even able to enjoy live music. Highly recommend for a date night, work event or a family get together.
