Roy's TampaLove Roy's!!! A favorite ofLove Roy's!!! A favorite of ours. Always a great meal.6/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat mealThis was undoubtably one of the best dining experiences that I have had in quite a while. The service was excellent, I can't remember the last time I went somewhere and my water glass was kept full. Chad was our server and he was one of the best servers that we have had at a nice restaurant in a long while, his knowledge of the menu and his suggestions were spot on. The food was excellent also. I had the swordfish with the mushroom/spinach topping and I can't remember ever having a better dish, my wife had the braised short ribs and said they were excellent also. We will be back.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMRoy's Tuesday NightThe food and service by the wait staff was top notch. I was trying to decide between the Seared U-10 Scallops and the Braised Pork Shank. Upon choosing the pork our waiter suggested that the chef might be able to prepare the scallops as an appetizer portion. He checked with the chef quickly. They were fantastic. The other member of the party had the Hawaiian Style Misoyaki Butterfish it was also outstanding.
The evening had an interesting start we arrived (party of 2) at 7:00 for our 7:15 reservation. We were glad to wait in the bar area and were told "we will come get you soon" At 7:25 I returned to the hostess stand and inquired about our seating (it was not crowded) and told "oh are you ready to be seated now?" Not the best response.6/4/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial OccasionGreat sushi, wonderful staff. Celebrating my 60th birthday coud not have been as memorable at any other spot. Service spot on, patient wait staff worked together to give us exceptional service.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGood Food Great Happy Hour OfferMy food was well prepared and they always make the courses interesting with a twist to catch your flavor attention. They are trying to attract new business--I had known about this restaurant when I lived in the LA area and they opened the first one but had never gone to one.
I am single and always looking for a great happy hour place to treat myself at the end of the week. They have delicious offerings, good drink prices so I will likely go to hang out and relax (nice because it is not as busy as Bay Street at the Mall which is not what you want after a week of hard work).6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurantThe staff if courteous and makes you feel special. Food is excellent and atmosphere is nice. My only observation is that people seem to dress too casual for this restaurant. I guess there is no real dress code for this classy restaurant.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful Dinner and ServiceMy husband and I dined here Friday evening and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and the service. Anthony was spot on with his recommendations for entrees and was very attentive without being obtrusive. The food was very fresh and perfectly seasoned. We would highly recommend.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGraduationThey asked for a picture and placed it in all the menus. Nice touch I thought gave us an extra dessert. And took a group picture. And framed it for us. Nice touch. Wish we had a Roy's in Fort Lauderdale.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat foodLove this place! If you don't want what every other place makes this is the place to go!

We love seafood and wine, and one of our favorite places is Roys. I booked a table with my phone app and off we went. Fantastic night!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat seafoodgraat food.. wonderful service... but got really loud when a group was seated.. we had to shout to converse...5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMHubby's Birthday dinnerWe've been to a number of Roy's around the country including Hawaii. Been to the Tampa restaurant twice and would definitely go again. Even though I always say I'm going to get something different, I always get the short ribs and they are always fantastic. My husband had the surf and turf and wasn't disappointed. The chocolate soufflé is a must for dessert!! Aloha!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat meal.Brought business guests from another country. Everyone loved the menu, food quality and ambiance.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful!This was the first time we dined at Roy's. We couldn't find anything we didn't enjoy. Absolutely will go back.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a great time!!Great food and service. One of my favorite places to dine in Tampa Bay!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMCustomer FocusedWe were so impressed with our experience at Roy's the other evening. I had written on my open table reservation about my dietary restrictions. The waitress greeted us with a special menu and was sure to inform me of which items met my needs. She was careful to double check with the chef on the items I ordered. Everything we ate was cooked perfectly. Because I was unable to eat any of the desserts, she surprised us with a special blackberry sorbet which was so yummy!
I would like to thank all the staff of the Tampa restaurant for such a great experience.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMOur experience is that allOur experience is that all the Roy's restaurants in its chain are consistent in quality, on all subjects. We've never been disappointed. Wish there were more of them!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAnniversary Meal at Tampa's GemBegan our memorable meal with the legendary Hawaiian Martinis & can now appreciate all the talk. After sharing lobster pot-stickers,my partner had the Hawaiian short-ribs...melted like butter. I couldn't decide between the marinated butter fish or scallops, so my server suggested a combination: the best idea. Also loved the celery/beet salad & bok choy. Ended with the chocolate lava cake/ice cream...after a second martini & gift of champagne. The chef is enormously talented. We had just returned from NYC & were feeling high-maintenance for Tampa...Roy's is fantastic & belongs in Manhattan's mid-town. The service was also outstanding...the manager was a generous & warm host. Our server even took our photo, presented it framed. New favorite!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways top notch experienceI always enjoy the experience at Roy's. Food is great, service is second to none and management is always very accommodating. Everything we had was fantastic. We told our waitress we were in a rush and she suggested great items that have fast ticket times. The best part was she timed it just right. She facilitated the speed we wanted with perfection. Not a moment when the table was empty or overloaded with plates. We also played a silly joke on one of our guests and the staff played along to perfection. Just an all around great experience.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I and our friendsMy husband and I and our friends were celebrating our anniversary together. We had a wonderful time the food was great. But what made it special for us was the extra touches that Roy's restaurant did for us. When we order dessert little did we know when we got our desserts on our plate was happy anniversary written in Chocolate. Nice touch.Then they took our pictures and framed them for us .We have celebrated many occasions at restaurants and this was the 1st time this has been done. Again very nice touch.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great experience.Always a great experience. This Roy's is right by the Tampa Airport and major shopping and competition. And maybe that is why they try harder. Anyway, service excellent as is the unique twist on largely Pacific seafood. Please try the Canoe Platter appetizer for two (feeds at least three).4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing food, top notch serviceGreat service and amazing food. Andrew the manager was extremely nice and friendly greeting our table and presenting us a free amuse. Anthony our server was very knowledgeable and kept the flow of dinner going very well considering we had apps, entree( highly recommend the skirt steak my girlfriend had it and it was amazing even better than my surf and turf), and dessert. The overall experience was a treat, I think about 5 different servers stopped by and filled drinks, cleared plates and made sure everything was going well. I would highly recommend Roy's Tampa, because of the great hard working, team oriented staff.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome experienceFrom the moment my husband and I walked in the door, we were thoroughly impressed by the staff and service at Roy's Tampa. The hostess was energetic and seemed generally appreciative for our patronage at the restaurant. Every single staff member that approached us throughout the night was very courteous and professional. Our server's name was Rachel and she was terrific. She was very friendly and prompt to take care of our needs. The food and drinks were terrific as well. While the drinks were on the pricey side ($10 for a small Jack-Diet Coke and $11.50 for a Mai-Tai), this was expected at the quality of restaurant at which we dined. The Shellfish Sampler was terrific, as well as the lobster potstickers! Definitely will come back to Roy's!4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent for special occasions!!!We took my mom to celebrate her 35th wedding anniversary (Dad is military and is overseas). They inserted a special anniversary message in the menu as well as put little confetti hearts on the table. Additionally they gave us an appetizer and a desert (with happy anniversary written on the plate)!! These awesome touches really helped my mom feel so happy even though Dad couldn't be with us! Thank you to the manager, our awesome waitress and waiters! Table was always clean, cups full, food was delicious (filet mignon, sushi, seafood trio)!! This is definitely our favorite for special occasions! If you've got something to celebrate, this is the place to be!4/7/2013 12:00:00 AM5 stars all around!We ate dinner at Roy's for my BF's 25th birthday party. The food was great and the service was amazing. They have a pretty large wine list and I really enjoyed their signature cocktails. Try the hot chocolate souffle- it takes twenty minutes to make and it is well worth the wait! Although, I wish it was bigger- it's not really sharable. Overall, we had a good experience at Roy's.4/4/2013 12:00:00 AMEaster brunch was fabulous.Easter brunch was fabulous.

They decorated our table with birthday confetti and inside the menu they created a personal birthday wish with a list of famous people whom I share my birthday with. At the end of the meal they brought out a cake that said "Happy Birthday" on it with a candle to blow out , plus on top of that the waitress took a picture of us and put it in Roy's special created frame. The manager also stopped by and wished me a happy birthday witch I though was very nice.

You feel the excitement as you enter. We received a warm welcome, and were seated in few minutes at our table. Soon, our server arrived with a smile, and took our cocktail order. She returned with our drinks, and reviewed the menu with us, pointing out some special items. We ordered the Winter Prix Fixe menu, which was delicious. I started with hot pot of mussels and clams, followed by rainbow trout. For dessert a warm mango cobbler with vanilla ice cream. All our food choices were served at correct temps, and beautifully plated.we enjoyed a very reasonable Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley with our entrees. During dinner, a manager stopped by, a really nice touch.1/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent as usualFood was excellent as usual but service was slow. We waited quite some time for our appetizers to come. This was a Monday night and was not too busy.1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
