    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.

    As always, the food was absolutely spectacular and so is the service. I wish they would open up a restaurant in the Manasquan area.

    My family has been dining at Trama for a number of years. It is our go to restaurant in Monmouth County. This is because Pat and his team, especially his senior managers Sean and Andrew provide diners with a warm feeling of belonging. Generally, especially on weekends, diners sit at the bar and at tables. The menu is reasonable, not too many items and weekly specials fill any desires for something off menu. This allows the chefs to provide attention to detail in preparing appetizers, pasta and entrées. There never appears to be a hiccup in food quality, we never feel rushed between courses and the staff takes care of our needs. I highly recommend Trama for those seeking a upscale restaurant that you'll enjoy over and over agaion
