    We get there 15 minutes to our appointment they told Us to wait that they will get us a table by the window we said it’s ok was what I asked for, then a white couple came in the women was bagging the host for a window seat for 2 as well and she went a head and seat them before Us on the table that was for us without saying anything to us then 15 minutes later she told us our table was ready and seat us in the middle of the dining home and behind the white couple that took our table, I stay quite as well as my guest and bien a white woman dating a man of color is sad that in 2026 I have to seeing and experience the Racism and discrimination this way as well as the way the waiter’s treated us, even with that I left a 30% tip, they definitely don’t deserve my business. Very sad

    The diners were my daughter and son-in-law who were visiting. My husband and I have had wonderful anniversary dinners at Rooney’s so sent them there on their 2nd. They loved everything about it! Thank you for making their evening special!

    We are visiting Long Beach, just 2days. Found Rodney’s as a highly rated restaurant walkable from our hotel. Service was friendly and efficient. Drinks were cold and crisp,. One beet sakad and some oysters were grand apps. The halibut, pan grilled with chimichuri sauce was sparkling. The seafood and pasta was delicious and plentiful. Chocolate cake, just divine. We could have a conversation because it wasn’t noisy. All in all a good and lucky selection.
