    Dinned here for my birthday wasn’t pleased with seating. They were under construction so the outside dinning was blocked we were sat in the main room it was a decent setting took some pictures. Definitely look at the menu before since its pricy the overall food was a 6/10. I would have rather went somewhere else. Wished they put they were under construction on their site….

    We enjoyed the Easter brunch at Rooney’s today. It was our first time there and the restaurant is beautiful with an outstanding oceanfront view. Service was great and so was the food. The buffet had so many offerings to choose from and everything was fresh and delicious. Looking forward to some outdoor dining there this summer!

    Excellent Easter brunch as usual, amazing amount of different, well prepared food . The lobster Mac & Cheese was exceptional as well as the shrimp sliders. A tip for the next brunch, if they’re serving the delicious coconut cake on the dessert table and also running the chocolate fountain, take a slice of cake over and use a clean spoon to add some of the melted chocolate onto the cake. Delicious!

    My wife and I enjoyed our evening and dinner at Rooney's in Long Branch. The weather was great which drew a crowd to the beach front restaurant, but staff served us well. Look forward to going back in the future.
