    Roy’s is a regular go to place for special occasions and entertaining guests. One of our favorites is the brussel sprouts which were undercooked. Ordered the prime rib special which was a generous size but very tough. Everything else was enjoyable.

    Our latest dinner at Roy's was outstanding. Ana provided great service and provided guidance on our entre selections. The Macadamia Crusted dish was done with blue marlin and it was truly delicious. My partner's mixed grill was also a wonderful choice. We wanted to try the focaccia and although quite tasty, we found it a bit dry. Dessert was the chocolate souffle which is always a good choice. The restaurant was nearly full but our service was timely and the food exceptional. The ambiance is upscale with a nice view of the "lake". We always enjoy our visits to Roy's.

    The food is shockingly poor to mediocre. Very disappointing for a restaurant that used to be the standard in fusion cuisine. 8 of us dined and the best dish was the butterfish. The best drink was wine. It appears as though Roy needs to step back in to the kitchen.

    Best part was the food itself. But everything else was fair to mediocre.

    Roy's was a favorite years ago, but it was disappointing this time. There is no outdoor seating, which is usually expected in Hawaii restaurants. The decor was on a par with Dennys. The prices were high, $$$$. The wine list was poor. The server charged us for a beer that was not available. My ahi tuna was very good as was my husband's pork chop.. The salads were tasty but small for $20. We will not be back and do not recommend it.

    We have dined at Roy’s in multiple locations over the past 25yrs. The restaurant isn’t a destination anymore. The food was mediocre and my husband ordered a Pina Colada and was informed that they didn’t have blenders. What is that about in Hawaii. Service was good. The restaurant is comparable to Chilis or Applebees in decor and furnishings. The last two times we’ve visited in Kaanapali and Waikoloa have been disappointing. Won’t be returning
