"What a wonderful tucked away place for fine dining! Love the antique ambiance and service. Nice to have specially prepared food. A Rochester neighborhood I can't believe I've never explored! Make your reservation!"

"I have not been to Rooney’s for at least 6 years. I was looking forward to finally returning to one of the best restaurants in Rochester. Rooney’s has always had an amazing reputation for the highest quality food and a superb ambiance. With that said, there has been a dramatic change since I was last there and unfortunately not for the better. I am not going into detail regarding issues that occurred except for one. During our dining experience, my daughter ordered the Yellow Fin Tuna appetizer. It did not taste quite right so she did not finish the plate. Right or wrong when something doesn’t meet expectations, we do not complain, and we do not send the dish back to the kitchen. I decided to write this review because my daughter was violently ill similar to food poisoning symptoms the day after. I can not confirm 100 percent that the Yellow Fin Tuna made her sick but it is a strong possibility because it had a very fishy taste. She had to go to Urgent Care for evaluation and the doctor’s opinion was food poisoning. Fortunately, the symptoms resolved within 24 hours. The restaurant was notified; as of this writing I did not receive a response from management."

"First time and it was amazing - food was flavorfull, perfectly cooked and hot! Service was outstanding, very attentive but not intrusive. Only disappointment was that we were seated in the bar area, not the dining room. We were 2nd party arriving and I would have asked for a table in the DR. We will definitely be back."
