We tried the Sunday brunch which did not disappoint. There was a large array of food options and the quality was very good. I really liked that we could order from the kitchen as well as help ourselves to the buffet. The truffle potatoes, strawberry short cake pancakes and an avocado toast were among our favorites.

Did not disappoint! We (4 of us) have chosen Rooneys several times for holiday and birthday celebrations and tonight was the best yet. Seated at a table with a beautiful view of the Ocean, great service from Danica and visits from management occasionally. All of us were very happy with our dinners. The Crabcakes were awesome, Halibut terrific. Never rushed. Live music pleasant and at just the right volume. We will continue to make Rooneys our go to place.
