    Wonderful food and festive atmosphere. Noise makers hats and complimentary champagne at midnight. A very enjoyable but low key experience to ring in the new year.

    It was a great experience. Rooneys is one of our favorite Restaurant. Sometimes my Salmon is over cooked. Wish they would keep food to its temperature. Only complaint I have.

    The restaurant has “SUPERIOR”Seafood,Service & Ambience” . I would highly recommend it for fish dishes; especially prepared Blackened or several other options. The brussel sprouts are excellent and pair deliciously with the risotto mushroom side dish. I would eat here weekly to keep the special occasion of Seafood Friday. Delicious Food!!!

    We went for brunch with my parents and friends. We had such a wonderful time. The brunch is absolutely amazing the choices are so numerous, you don't even know where to start. If you love seafood, this is the brunch for you. All the clams and oysters on the half shell you can eat along with shrimp cocktail, mussels, ceviche, sashimi and sushi. You can even talk to the sushi chef! They also have everything you would want for breakfast plus salads, pastas, a carving station, chocolate fountain and even a soft serve machine! Plus they have menu items like avocado toast and eggs benedict that are included in the price. Everyone at our table was thrilled with their meals.
