    Roys never disappoints! I normally go for the butterfish, amazing, but I got the ramen this time and it was so good. I even had some left over for lunch and it was just as good on day 2. The wait staff was great and we got our table right away. Make reservations! I wish I had more money and time to try more items on the menu.

    Very average. The dishes were well prepared, but certainly not worth the prices - even factoring island prices. And the service was definitely sub-par. Having dined at many restaurants on the island over two weeks, this restaurant was the biggest disappointment.

    We enjoyed a fabulous meal starting with the delicious pot stickers and cocktails. Our entrees of hibachi salmon and Paella were amazing and the pineapple upside down cake was the perfect finisher to a fabulous meal! Thank you to Corey & staff for good service including a visit from the manager.

    From the seating person to the entire waitstaff and managers, they go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. The food is wonderful with excellent preparation and Rooy's twists on classics. Views at sunset are outstanding as well.

    Food was excellent and all of the staff was very knowledgeable and described each dish. We just went with their tapas options and everything was delicious. Where we did have an issue was the dessert took an hour. Literally. The pineapple cake is supposed to take 20 minutes- no worry, but at 45 minutes they came out to apologize and bring another dessert. The one we ordered didn’t arrive until an hour after we ordered it. They apologized and gave it to us free, but the dessert was certainly not worth an hour and I would say it wasn’t even really worth 20 minutes. But we’d go again and just skip that dessert.
