    Food & service were amazing. Beautiful ocean views. Husband had the short ribs, he usually does not order out and he could not have been happier. They were delicious! I had the Kanpachi with soba noodles. Fresh, light & full of flavor. We ordered the chocolate soufflé for dessert. Nothing about this meal disappointed us Food, service, ambience, all top shelf. They even gave us a little piece of chocolate decadence for our anniversary .

    Food service was very slow. The food was mostly tasty. The Caesar salad with the Hawaiian bread croutons were really good. The sizzling wagyu & potstickers were just ok. The Rib Eye steak was great!

    The best dinner I’ve had on Kauai two years in a row. Their Ahi is prepared like no one else. Perfectly done with delicious sauce and veggies. Roy’s ribs are a long time favorite. The appetizer portion may be enough for most folks as a main course. Chocolate molten dessert also phenomenal.

    Service and location were pretty good. Food was actually very good but overpriced for casual restaurant. At least that’s the feel and vibe I got. People were in shorts and t shirts. We were over dressed.

    We visited for our 25th anniversary. They made it incredibly special! Delicious food, too. I had the ramen bowl, hubs the burger and we shared flash fried Brussels and Cauliflower. Yum! Perfect balcony view. Wonderful, pristine service! And, of course, spectacular view.

    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.
