It is always great when you revisit a restaurant after many years, and it is just as good as you remembered it. Roy's at Bonita Springs is one of the last of the chain. Our meal was great. First, the service was terrific. Everyone, from Andrew (the Manager) and Lisa (our server) to the food runners was friendly and helpful. They checked back on us repeatedly to make sure everything was great - but were not hovering. The food was exceptional. The Hibachi Salmon was the best we've ever had. My Butterfish was equally delightful. The Tuna Poke appetizer may have been the best thing we ate. The Sunrise at Haleakala Roll was as we remembered it. (The only thing that did not excel was the Pineapple Upside Down Cake - good, but not quite as it was). The restaurant is big, airy and comfortable. Tables are well spaced and the chairs comfortable. Overall, an excellent dinner out. read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I thought the food was delicious: I had their steak and lobster, which came with an incredible sauce, was cooked perfectly, and presentation was a winner. But the lobster was REALLY small... like maybe 2oz? I also had the lobster potstickers, which weren't "potstickers" by the traditional method but were in fact fried dumplings. They were great, but a little bit of a mis set expectation. My real problem with this restaurant is their bar area, which felt more like sitting at an old Applebees. There were really "top shelf" liquors, and the selection they had was underwhelming. My Manhattan was probably the worst one I've ever had... the glass wasn't chilled, there was too much vermouth, and the cherry was in pieces in my drink. I only mention all of this because the cocktail was $26.50 (before tip and tax), and I think for this price the value must be exceptional. My recommendation is to come for dinner and sit in the main dining room... rush past the bar area and don't take a second look! :-) Enjoy the wonderful selection of entrees and great flavors. read more

Food was excellent Service was great. Be very wary of the wine by the glass. My wife ordered a glass of Grich Hills Chardonnay available in any liquor store for $42 per bottle. The bill came $45 for a 9oz pour. I questioned the price...the Canadian Manager blamed it on the tariffs. I asked Florida pays a tariff to Napa Valley? He didn't offer us a dessert ...as excellent as the food was its not worth the $$$ especially since tariffs are passed onto the consumers when there are no tariffs...just an excuse of price gouging read more

Had dinner at Roy's tonight. It never disappoints. I've eaten at Roy's all over the US - the food, service and ambience are always first class. Plus, for an upscale restaurant I believe their prices are quite reasonable. Tonight I had the seared blackened ahi tuna served with baby bok choy and furikake rice with a spicy mustard butter sauce. The meal was wonderfully flavored and beautifully presented. Well done again Roy's. read more

We loved the outdoor seating and the wait staff, but felt the menu was pretty pricey even by Naples standards. Nice atmosphere and good service. read more

This place is not what it used to be. Butterfish has been changed to a fishy tasting piece of cod with herb sauce. It used to be served with a buttery miso sauce. Prices are way too high for the quality of food. My family and I used to live going here for special occasions. It's not so special any more. Too many other restaurants around which serve quality food at a reasonable price. read more

We dined at Roy's for Thanksgiving with two great friends of ours! Our first time dining at Roy's and found the experience to be good not great, considering the price point and what others have shared previously. Pros: - Great prix fixe options for the holiday, we opted to not go the traditional turkey route and maybe that was our mistake! - Chocolate Torte was very delish, well cooked, and balanced - Key Lime pie was light & tasty - Red potatoes & asparagus were perfectly cooked on the Mahi plate - Good portion sizes for all courses for the price and we left full - Adam was a very attentive, strong server - Filet was tender and cooked nicely (rare) Cons: - dirty water glasses upon sitting down and the kind waiter had to get 3 pitchers of water as when he poured the first few glasses, flies were in the water - mahi was over cooked and dry, lobster sauce lacked lobster flavor and the dish needed an acidic component - lobster potstickers were heavy and dense, needed acidic component - béarnaise (we think?) sauce was broken utop filet - no house bread or rolls (maybe a peasant ask but I love me some starter bread) Overall, we weren't overwhelmed with the meal! Likely will try one of the other options for the first time at the Promenade :) read more

Second time here with my boyfriend, out of season. Live here full time and came in the summer time. Jose, the bartender (who took care of us the first visit) was more than great, again. He was attentive and our drinks were delicious. Happy to have this place and staff right across the street. Also the manager, Andrew, stopped by to talk to us again (also at the first visit here) and was pleasurable to talk to. Will be back. Food was delicious and came out hot! Thank you Jose and Andrew! read more

We had been here a while ago and were not impressed to come back. We went last evening with a group and had a very good experience. The service and the food was excellent. I had a nice Oregon Pinot with my dinner for $16. Our table all started with salads. A nice sized portion and the various house dressings were enjoyed by all. The various main dishes were salmon, tiger shrimp and short rib. Everyone who had the fish dishes were very happy. The person who had the short ribs did not care for them. Our table had various desserts. It had been a while since we were there and we would come back but stick to the dishes with fish. read more

Food was pretty good but they desperately need more help. Folks they have were very nice and working their tears off. There's simply not enough for the number of people they're seating...and that's on Management. Our dinner lasted 3 hours and we waited 45 minutes to get the bill. And they had people waiting for a table. Probably will be looking elsewhere until the reviews get better. read more

The food was lovely and I would recommend this restaurant solely for that reason. The service, on the other hand, was noticeably lacking from the beginning. The one female bartender hardly gave us any service at all. On top of that, she made no effort to be personable and barely acknowledged us the whole time. The necessary skills of a good bartender are to be engaging and attentive but she was downright unfriendly. Didn't check in on our food, no water refills, no eye contact, walked past us multiple times and left us sitting at the bar with dirty plates, and had to call her or the other bartender over every time we needed service. How is this acceptable? The entire time she seemed too busy cleaning the bar and avoiding us, despite the bar being practically empty. I noticed they treated the few other bar patrons the same. I hope management is aware of this given that I saw the manager walk past the bar multiple times and some other reviews have echoed similar observations. Good service is getting harder to come by these days and this was a perfect example of that. Unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

Terrible service. Wish I had gotten the server's name but I didn't. He walked by us to go to other tables and did not stop to check on us, take our order or anything. We wanted to order dessert and another beer but could not get him to wait on us. Food was good, but I wouldn't go back. read more

An expensive disappointment. Crab cake app: good but nothing special or out of the ordinary. Lobster potstickers: fabulous! Even the sauce & the slaw garnish were amazing. Entrees: everyone seemed satisfied, but, again, nothing special. Sushi roll: mushy(?) and overly spicy. And the chocolate souffle: a waste. Tiny (the size of a hockey puck) and hard. read more

A great surprise after seeing the low review score, host was friendly and offered several seating options, service was slow but we were not in a hurry, had a sampler canoe great choice of foods especially the short ribs,, fantastic ordered the Hawaiian martini, spectacular, the tiger shrimp over udon noodles was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, for dessert we had the pineapple upside down cake flipping awesomeness. Very romantic setting. read more

Went for a double birthday dinner last night and was not happy. Decided not to complain at the moment and waited to leave a review here. The wagyu sushi roll I got was good, i can say that. However when I got their famous butterfish, I noticed the piece of meat i got was the very tail end of the fish. It was a bit fishy tasting in some places and a lot of grey meat. I would expect for a fish dish that is over $50 to come with a premium fillet from the fish. Not the tail end that nobody wants. A few of my other friends said the same thing. I think it was disrespectful to be served that piece of fish especially on a special occasion. I will not be returning to Roys read more

I came here for a friend's birthday party. Roy's is one of his favorite restaurants. We had a large group and Roy's had two servers working with our group so service was extremely prompt and courteous. I started with an old fashioned it was made great not too sweet. The group ordered some appetizers for the table. But I really wanted to try the lobster bisque. The lobster bisque came out with a lobster in the bottom of the bowl and then they added the bisque at your table. Amazing! I ordered the jumbo tiger shrimp with udon noodles and fresh stir-fried vegetables. The shrimp were extremely large and the noodles were cooked great. This is my second time here but first time for dinner my suggestion would be is that you come for happy hour as you can get a good sample of the menu. For dessert I tried the Thai lime tart nice way to finish with a little port wine. I would truly recommend this place the food is very good and the service was very attentive. read more

We heard about good food at this place so we finally gave it a try. We sat at the bar and ordered a few things from the Aloha Hour menu. Food were tasty and came in good portions. Staff was nice and friendly. After a couple drinks and sharing some appetizers, we were full. The Szechuan spiced pork ribs are highly recommended. We will definitely come back to try other items. read more

Roy's is the ultimate special occasion restaurant! Exquisite food served graciously in a lovely environment. The restaurant is bright and airy with white tablecloths and high ceilings. Besides the food, which is Hawaiian Fusion, the highlight of Roy's is the staff. From the smiling, welcoming hostesses to the chef, bartenders, and the bus people, everyone treats patrons with warmth and professionalism. Our server, Myra, took care of us splendidly. I walk with a cane and was having a "bad knee day" the evening we visited. A young man, who I believe was part of the kitchen staff, saw me struggling on the way to my table after a visit to the restroom. He immediately came up to me and cheerfully offered his arm to help me get to our table. He magically appeared as we were leaving and helped me to the door. I felt truly special! Kudo's to Roy's staff for making a lovely dinner out spectacular! read more

Another top notch evening at Roy's Bonita Springs. Decided to take in Happy Hour prior to our dinner reservation- in true Florida fashion Happy Hour IS a dinner reservation and bar seats were completely full. Grabbed a high top- service was a bit slow, but to be expected at peak HH (5:45PM) Kept our 6:30 dinner reservation for the markedly quieter dining room. As always the service was attentive but not pushy. Menu was explained thoroughly. All fish dishes ordered were delicious and beautifully prepared. Roy's sauces are amazing counterparts to every dish. Prices on the upper side but so worth the dollar. I'm not understanding the recent one star Yelps. Disgruntled employee? Don't believe it- try for yourself at HH of better yet the dining room. read more

The food is delicious. Service is only so so. The REAL problem is the gift cards. We always take advantage of the deals where you receive additional $ on a card purchase. However, we have ALWAYS had a problem with the remaining amount. No exceptions. We save all receipts but consistently come up short. They should be able to track all expenditures on the card. Very unhappy with this. read more

The lobster bisque was let's say a little "off". For $18.00, the serving was too small. The soup base didn't taste fresh, very spicy. Strange color. While the lobster was real it was only about two bite sized pieces. Sorry, but this was the worst meal I've had in many years. Driving home I felt sick. Our bill for 4 people was $ 304 for an appetizer, 3 lobster bisque soups and a bottle of wine. Insane. Time to rethink how these restaurants are run. Very sad. To make it worst the server pestered us to order like it was our job to keep her happy! Visitors to Naples need ti pass on this place. read more

Wasn't a great experience. The bar area was chaos, not clean . Waited a long time for a drink. The bartenders were overwhelmed. Food was just ok read more

We made a reservation and came here on a Friday night, I figured it will be busy because it's pre Super Bowl/ pre Valentine's Day. Long story short, we got seated fairly quickly, they're understaffed however. Just the cocktail itself took forever to come, and so as our main entree. I understand it's a Friday night, but it's over 30 mins wait for our main entree to come. I wouldn't recommend this place during season. Also, it's super loud, I can't even hear the server nor she could hear me without shouting. Even talking to each other requires raising your voice for the other person to hear. The environment / ambience just different than what we used to at Roy's back then and different locations! Food wise, we got the sampler to start, it's amazing! For entree, we ordered the whole fried snapper and the Chilean sea bass. Ended the dinner with the red velvet cake as dessert! Thought it would be a somewhat quiet, fancier dinner turned into a super loud, and long waited dinner. We spent more time waiting for our food to come than consuming it. The food was good, not fantastic that I would spend that much time to wait for an entree. If you consider coming here for dinner, either come on weekdays or non-season times. Food itself was pretty good overall, but given the wait and all. I just don't think it's worth it! read more

Updated review: Early Christmas Day dinner. Restaurant very busy. Manager did not return my 'hello', just a blank stare at me in my tux. Kylie, the hostess, was warm and welcoming as always, a true asset to the establishment. Seated at a round table in the corner by a window, great view of interior. Waiter was prompt with greeting and drink orders. I immediately noticed that my water glass had lip imprints on the rim- similar blemishes on my group's glasses. There was a food particle in my neighbor's water. It was a holiday so we didn't want to bother the busy waitstaff. Cocktails arrived, my Bloody Mary was great. Appetizers, the sushi roll was a generous size, a little spicy for me, but delicious. I had the steak entree with a side of lobster Mac and cheese. The steak was good, could only eat half, but the lobster Mac and cheese was totally bland (zero taste) and had the tiniest bit of lobster on top- don't have it on the menu if you aren't going to 'Wow' us... To conclude, my previous visit was fantastic, but I will not spend another holiday dinner at Roy's. Expectations are high and when things happen like food in the water, bland lobster Mac and cheese, an indifferent greeting at the door, the entire evening can be completely tarnished. Cheers? Not this time. Update: Online Sales Rep contacted me via this review with no phone number/email address. read more

Roy's is one of my favorite restaurants in the Estero/Bonita area, if not my favorite. The quality of the food is absolutely amazing and they never cease to prepare the Chilean Sea Bass to perfection (I highly recommend the Bass). For an appetizer the Canoe is perfect taste of so many different flavors. and each person gets to try a little of everything. For dessert, this restaurant has the absolute BEST pineapple upside down cake that I have had in my entire life. Service is good, and the manager in particular always greets us with a smile at the door. The Promenade is beautiful to walk around after your dinner if you are looking to walk off your meal. Restaurant is generally chilly (so bring a sweater) but it is refreshing, especially if you go during the sticky Florida summer. read more

We have been coming to Roy's for 20+ years and it is always good. The food has never disappointed and the staff has always been knowledgeable and helpful about any issues we have had. Not only do we love the restaurant but the bar and sushi bar have become some of our favorites for a quicker service with still great food. It is a little expensive but it is always worth it no matter what food or drinks we get! read more

This is the second time we have been at Roy's. Two years ago and the service was beyond slow. We tried again tonight and the waitress was friendly took our drink order and 25 minutes later we had not seen her and asked the hostess to ask our waitress to come back. 10 minutes later she came with on drinks and she had not taken our order. She said, they are under bar staffed. Wow, never had such bad services. We left. Never again. read more

Forget how amazing this food is. Haven't been here for awhile, glad they were busy, even on a Monday! They do have lots of specials and today was one of them. 3 course meal for $39, wow Posted their happy hour menu and Sunday specials. They renovated since I've been here, use to go to the Naples one when it was open. The cooking was never on par with this Bonita location Looks good and much bigger. They no longer have a Covid tax I'm the bill However, will not accept cash And Tip: Sit at the dining tables by the bar, you get Happy hour drinks and menu plus the regular stuff. Wish we knew sooner. Maybe next time! Nice outdoor seating with fire pit too read more

AVOID - RUDE STAFF, OVERPRICED FOOD We have been coming here for years and have noticed a decline in food quality, however, today the front of house staff were beyond rude, entirely dismissed us, preferring to seat unsavoury guests behind us in line.

Delicious food and surprisingly soo family friendly! They have a 3 course meal for kids and the service was 10/10

It is what it is- I would Never go back or recommend- staff was friendly and The menu sounded delicious, but when the food hit the table it was underwhelming at every course. Pricing would need to come Down dramatically for me to ever entertain another visit. read more

So I am updating my review because the customer service manager thanked me for the review and addressed none of my concerns. That means my review was not read just blindly responded to. Don't make your patrons wait around for over an hour for entrees when you are not busy when they enter the restaurant and you have staff. Don't avoid their table and hope they don't notice because they do. And read reviews and respond to concerns. I spent 2 1/2 hours waiting for dinner, not cool.... read more

Roy's has, sadly, become a shadow of its former self. We recently ate there for a special occasion. It was the third time we have celebrated an anniversary there in the last 10 years. I want to first say the service was excellent, I have no complaints in that area at all. The food however was a different story. The "butterfish" ( cod) was overcooked and overpowering in taste. I have had that dish before and it was light and flavorful. This was dry and fishy to the point of it being a bit past it's prime. The food is now heavy and relies on fat and salt for flavor. This is not the Roy's of old. Oh and before I sign off... The bread service is a joke and how y'all aren't embarrassed to serve it , I don't know. In all fairness it does day it's Hawaiian rolls. But I assumed, as it was Roys, they would do something to make it Roy's level.. nope . It literally looked. Like someone went to Publix, grabbed a bag of rolls, cut a few of them in half and threw them on a plate with some butter . I am not in any way exaggerating this. My husband and I are still cracking up over the absolute waste of money that was. I am not trying to be harsh, even though I am sure it reads that way, I am just hoping they make some changes and realize those changes need to be made. And for goodness sakes, elevate your bread service. I am giving three stars because our drinks were great and the service excellent. read more

Roy's - Bread service. I use this term loosely. Basically it seems like rolls from Publix thrown on a plate. - Hawaiian Near Me - Bonita Springs, Florida
