    The service was extremely slow to start off. The food came out slow and our tables drinks were empty for a while. When my food came out cold, they did reheat it but then it was overcooked. We have been eating here for 20 years and the last three times have been “off” and so now I fear this is the new normal. Such a shame as this was our go to spot. We would even eat here two out of the three nights we were here, but time to move on.

    I dine solo frequently and always appreciate service that treats me like a larger party. Great service and recommendations. Loved the lobster pot stickers. Tried the Classic 4: loved the butter fish and tuna, salmon was okay (I eat salmon often so it fell in the average in the piece and cook, but the sauce was fantastic, not a fan of the catch of the day. Next time would focus on just one entree, definitely the butter fish.

    We had a wonderful meal here — the food was absolutely delicious, generous in portion size, and great value for the price. Every dish we tried was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive, and the service throughout the meal was attentive and warm. That said, our first impression wasn't the best, and that's the reason for the three stars instead of five. Despite having a reservation and arriving on time at 5:30 PM, we were asked to wait in a holding area near the restrooms, even though the dining room had plenty of empty tables. We also hoped to sit outside, but were not offered that option. Thankfully, once we were seated, the experience turned around completely. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks, and atmosphere. It’s clear the kitchen and waitstaff are doing a fantastic job — just a bit more care with the initial welcome would make this a perfect experience.

    Beautiful view, service was pleasant but slow. Shared the Canoe for Two appetizer sampler, items delicious but value for $32? Skimpy. Booked the table because of convenience to convention center.

    My wife and I always enjoy Roy's. The Calif Rolls, Butterfish, and Sea Bass we ordered were great! However, the value for the food has increased quite considerably.

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