We had a delicious early Christmas Eve dinner. I had a whole baked artichoke heart which is my favorite. Main dish poached lobster, so succulent. I also enjoyed a mistletoe cocktail. My husband had the oysters and braised lamb shank. Everything was perfect. This is one of our favorite restaurants.

We went with friends and their two teenage boys. We had such a wonderful time. Rooney's was beautifully decorated for Christmas. They now have a Sushi chef offering very interesting rolls along with traditional Sashimi and Sushi pieces. We were so delighted when our rolls came to the table. Almost too beautiful to eat. The appetizers were amazing. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and desserts. And the cocktails are super fabulous. A perfect evening out with friends!

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.
