    We were quite disappointed in our experience overall there were 7 of us put next to the kitchen or area where waiters congregate, so the table was noisy. Are waiter was quite cheery and explained all well. Drinks came quickly and so did hors d’oeuvres. One drink was so sour my son could not drink it. The ribs were fantastic. We ordered 3 souffles ahead of time. There was a while before the entrees came. Those who ordered the macadamia nut crusted swordfish had high expectations that sadly were not met. I ordered the salmon which I love at Roy’s, but sadly the salmon was cooked to death (I asked for medium plus) and the citrus ginger sauce that used to be on this fish was no more—ponzu sauce came on the side and I stole some of my husband’s ginger (the kitchen said they didn’t have anymore). Has my Roy’s staple been changed? And we waited at least 45 mins for our dessert. Don’t know why, but they did comp them without asking. So sad this lovely Roy owned Roy’s is not the same as it used to be.

    Food was very good. I loved butterfish and bok Choy. Nice glass of wine. Attentive service. So all good. But just not quite the Roy’s experience. View of water inlet. They were very nice as we were delayed due to being lost. Good solid meal. Decent price.

    Food was excellent, waitstaff were very accommodating, and the children’s menu was one of the best we’ve seen (and we’ve been to a decent number of restaurants around the globe). Highly recommend!

    We had a 7p reservation and didn’t get sat until 7:30p in an unfavorable location even though there was a group of the same number of ppl that got sat before us and weren’t even waiting long and they got sat near the windows. The ambiance inside was not worth the prices so we ended up leaving before ordering.

    We were pleasantly surprised by our experience at Roy’s. Reviews we read weren’t great but we have to say our meals were very good. We weren’t hungry enough for mains, but we both started with a Caesar salad which was better than most. I had the BBQ ribs appetizer, which was more than enough food for a meal and my wife had the seared Ahi tuna starter which was delicious. We’d go back again.
