    Celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary last night. We were celebrated with an anniversary card and the most delicious chocolate soufflé. Thank you Roy’s!

    Very nice restaurant on the marina/bay. Food was very good. Service was very good. A little disturbed by the hand towels given to us before dinner, to wash our hands. Towels were just like rags with fabric threads tearing away - reminded us of our hotel room towels which were in the same condition. Little things like this mean a lot and were a "hot" surprise when presented, but when unrolling them the were terrible.

    We only tried two items on the menu and both were not good. First, the Maui Wowie Salad (one of their signature dishes) came to our table without the shrimp. How does that happen in a high end restaurant where the person who sends it out AND the server does not notice it missing. So when we pointed that out we get a plastic cup of rubbery poached shrimp. Yuck. The other thing was the Sunrise Roll was not fresh. Therefore, not the Ohana experience we were hoping for.

    Server not attentive, selected restaurant due to food allergies and items we thought our family could eat. We asked questions. She did not know, but said she'd come back, she did not. Had to Google answers. Sent a2nd server over to take order plus a server assistant. Forgot 1 appetizer, brought us a different one. Sushi rolls mediocre, shrimp tasted burnt. Valet lost my sons car. After 55 minutes of waiting he had to go find it himself, only to discover it was unlocked with all his personal items in it. He is in the navy and had a lot in there that was subject to theft. Just plain awful. Would've been treated better at a jack in the box. If we hadn't spent all day traveling to see our son and weren't so tired, we definitely would have sought out management. Don't waste your time. Looks high end, but deceiving. Plenty of other top notch venues in the city. This wasn't one.
