If you're visiting Long Branch Rooney's is a restaurant you should visit at least once. Situated on the boardwalk in the midst of the ongoing revitalization zone, this modern and spacious restaurant has a view of the ocean that is not to be beaten. Ample outdoor dining facing the ocean is available on both covered and uncovered patios.
Seafood is the specialty here, though there's plenty of fare for diners who prefer meals from terra firma. A raw bar and seasonal seafood are notable on the menu. The occasionally imaginative food is generally well prepared and generous in portion. Service is rather mundane and prices are a bit high (but oh, what a view!) Reservations are recommended during tourist season.
Pros: View!, Seafood selection, Parking
Cons: , So-so service
