Amazing Brunch at Rooney's today with great friends. They have something for everyone. The stuffed loin of pork was so delicious as was everything else. So much to choose from. The pastry basket is really special and so are the menu items that are included in the brunch. It doesn't get any better than this and no one compares. Rooney's does it right!

For us, this was a special occasion meal and the food and the service were top shelf. We were a little taken back by the sticker shock, but the drinks, steak, salad, lobster, and appetizers were so good, I can’t complain. However, we were very surprised by the dress of the clientele. People were wearing sweats and sneakers in what I consider to be a very expensive and high end restaurant. Our waiter Pierre was an absolute pro. This is not a place for me to frequent often but maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
