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.

My nephew, who’s been a chef on private yachts for decades, was visiting and wanted to dine at an oceanfront restaurant to celebrate his dad (who passed awsy one year ago). We chose Rooney’s, never having eaten here before. We were not disappointed. The atrium, where we were seated, had a wonderful view of the ocean and the room was very comfortably heated, in addition to feeling spacious and elegant. We started with the baked artichoke appetizer…with a little more of the tasty bread, it could have been a meal! My vegan husband had the Spicy Rigatoni (unfortunately the only vegan option) which he said was great. I had the pan fried bronzini with sweet chili sauce. And even though I rarely like fish, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The sides of mashed Gouda cauliflower and crispy Brussels sprouts were amazing. My nephew- chef loved the lobster roll…except for the fact the roll wasn’t toasted and buttered, which he felt was a real mistake. Overall, our experience was top notch. We will be back!
