Rooney’s seafood is always top notch. We both enjoyed blackened salmon. Our only issue is the price of drinks there is getting out of hand. We paid $17 for each drink that barely had a trace of alcohol and one was served in a small champagne flute. Food is great but drinks are a rip off.

Beautiful decorated for the Christmas season. Sat in the enclosed outer area. Service was excellent. Matt, our waiter was very attentive The sushi rolls (Smokey Mountain and Black Widow) were colorful and very tasty. The entrees, the Scallop + Shrimp combo plus the Branzzino over the Mushroom Risotto with a Lemon Butter sauce was wonderful. The scallops were perfectly cooked , juicy and reasonably sized. The Branzzino was nicely seasoned and paired well with the Mushroom risotto. The Christmas cocktails were decadent - if you like chocolate and had a sweet tooth, you’d love them. Over, a great experience at Rooney’s
