    Amazing Brunch at Rooney's today with great friends. They have something for everyone. The stuffed loin of pork was so delicious as was everything else. So much to choose from. The pastry basket is really special and so are the menu items that are included in the brunch. It doesn't get any better than this and no one compares. Rooney's does it right!

    Outstanding view of the Atlantic Ocean! Prices are a bit high for the portion size and quality of the food. Service was on point and pleasant. For some reason our sandwiches had more red raw onions than lettuce and tomato. Hmmmmm?

    The brunch buffet is on point. The raw bar with sushi, clams, oysters, and shrimp is fantastic. The shellfish was delicious and fresh. The hot food chafing dish’ has a bunch of different types of food and everything I tasted was good. They had good deserts and ice cream. Give it a try.
