Love Roy's (been to ones in California and in Hawaii). I love that they don't rush you and that everything is always plated beautifully and is good quality. This visit was consistent with those experiences but we tried some of the sushi rolls this time for happy hour and they certainly weren't as flavorful as the other appetizers and entrees I've tried. With that being said, service was great and ambiance was fantastic-- I love how clean they keep it here. Pro tip: dine during their happy hours! You can save money and when we went (4PM on a Wednesday) it felt like we had the entire restaurant to ourselves until about 5PM!
I've been to Roy's Hawaii Kai location, but this was my first visit to the Waikiki one. We came for happy hour (2-4:30pm). They don't take reservations during that window, but there were plenty of seats, so no stress about getting a table. The house red that day was Bonanza Cabernet Sauvignon -- solid and easy to drink. For food, I ordered the Szechuan Pork Ribs and the Shibby Roll. I've had the ribs at the Hawaii Kai location as well, and every time I feel like they'd be perfect with a side of rice... and definitely some wet napkins. The rolls were good, though I would've preferred them not deep‑fried so the fish flavor could stand out more. One piece even had a small fish bone -- luckily I caught it before swallowing. Service was excellent overall. Multiple staff members checked in, which sometimes felt a bit repetitive since they didn't seem to know who had already stopped by, but I'd still take that over being ignored. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the experience. If they expand the happy hour food and drink options a bit more, I'd happily come back.
I enjoyed the happy hour at Roy's. We sat outside but our table was nicely shaded. The Hibiscus Mist mocktail was pretty and refreshing. The Crispy Zucchini Bao Bun was strange... not really like bao at all. There was a large fried zucchini piece on top of a piece of toasted (?) bread, which wasn't adding anything to the dish at all. Perhaps a smaller piece on a steamed bao bun would be better. The Blue Crab Ravioli was very rich and buttery. My favorite was the Shibby Roll. Although dessert is not included in the happy hour pricing, the Peanut Butter Crunch Bar is delightful (though I would have preferred it with raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries).
Brought a friend from out of town to Roy's for her birthday. And it's a great place for that kind of celebration. I always say Roy's isn't going to blow you away with their food but it's always solid and never disappoints. I prefer the Hawaii Kai location but this one isn't bad at all. Very easy to get a reservation on open table. Protip: use your sapphire reserve card if you have one to make the reservation in open table (as of 2026) & pay for the meal. Iykyk It's located on the first floor of the embassy suites in Waikiki--right across from Dennys. Protip: if you're driving, just do valet. It's $8 with validation. I got the tasting menu with some sort of Zucchini Bao Bun with a bit of a salad & Brussels sprouts. It was tasty but they served this fried thing -- maybe zucchini? with sauce on top of a half of a bao bun. So the bun itself was dry and lacked flavor but the thing on top was great. The dish seemed disjointed and not well integrated in that regard. Why even give me a bao bun? For the main I had the salmon which was delicious. It came with a wonderful shoyu sauce and a cool rice croquette thing. Fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce brought everything together. There was also a refreshing salad on the side with a really sweet tasting dressing that was great. And the 3rd course was the Roy's chocolate soufflé which was awesome as always. If you get nothing else at Roy's, try the soufflé. The acid in the raspberry sauce cuts through the decadent chocolate beautifully. My friend had the macadamia nut crusted fish with asparagus and she said it was wonderful. Since it was her birthday, they brought out a little something for her as well. Very nice touch. Great service as always at Roy's. If you're in Waikiki and want a fancy meal, give Roy's a go. It's a hair on the pricey side for what you actually get in terms of food quality but the service and the soufflé are worth it.
Roy was a solid choice for celebrating a wedding anniversary. Dimmed lights in a warm colored room made it romantic but there was an array of people here, from families with kids and couples from varying ages. We had Erik S as our server and he was stellar. We took his recommendations on the specials with fish and tried both the codfish with butter and swordfish with macaroni. Both great. We also really enjoyed the ribs and bao bun. Thanks Erik for being so mindful of my allergies and also sending a cake for us to celebrate the occasion.
Always exceptional service at Roy's no matter which location. It was unfortunate that a loud party of 20 was seated after us which took up our waiters time.
I usually love Roy's, but this location ( obviously ) is a tourist trap. The food was not that good. I got the trio sampler and a sushi roll. The roll was amazing g. The fish trio was so well done even the butterfish was tough. Very unfortunate. That said, I sat at the bar and the bartender was great. She was on top of her game for a busy night. There was a huge line and the restaurant was packed. I won't go again, but in general I'm guessing this was just a crowded night.
I hadn't eaten at Roy's since a visit to LA. The Waikiki location maintains the refinement of its Cali cousin. It's worth the hype. Hawaii is not known for great food, but you can find good eats. Consider Roy's for an upscale dining experience. Two servers, great attention to detail. Complimentary birthday desserts. Vegan accommodations. Try the crispy zucchini appetizer! So good.
We've been coming here for many years, and some things never change. Great food, outstanding service, and many wonderful memories. We celebrated our 30th anniversary here, and we were also here 30 years ago during our honeymoon. So glad to see that Roy's has maintained their reputation, and have possibly even gotten better as the years go by. I had the macadamia nut swordfish and my wife the lobster tempura, both excellent dishes. My wife's from Maine, so she knows her lobster, and enjoyed every bite. We were treated to dessert to celebrate the occasion, and it couldn't have been any nicer. Thank you Roy's for a wonderful evening.
We had accidentally booked the other location for a reservation but the Waikiki location took us immediately! Upon seating, they provided napkins to us personally and always checked on us. We can't tell you the names of everything we ordered so i included photos - all we know is everything was SO YUMMY. We first started off with the crab cakes and Brussel sprouts for appetizers and this already hit it out of the park! The crab cakes were thick and full of crab and the Brussels were seasoned to perfection. My fiancé then ordered sushi and i ordered a dinner sampler. We were stuffed at this point! The portions are larger than fine dining but smaller than a regular mom and pop. The staff became aware of our engagement earlier in the day and surprised us with complimentary congratulatory desserts along side our order of halo halo. It was so sweet of them to include this in our meal! The lighting was not super dim which we enjoyed and the guests were lively which was nice to see around dinner time. It's a great spot for dinner time and celebrations :)
This was one of our favorite meals when visits the island! Great service, food and drinks! Will be back on our next visit!
Came here for a celebration dinner. Everything was excellent! They have top notch service and a nice menu of delicious meals. We tried the combo meals to try as much as possible. If you're looking for a nice place to dine in Waikiki, this is a good choice. I highly recommend the pineapple upside down cake for dessert it was one of my favorite desserts ever!

We dined to celebrate my daughter birthday. It was a party of 3. Everything was as expected. Presentation and delicious. Great service. Seated within less than 10 minutes of our reservation time. Sat inside. Lovely welcoming environment. Would definitely recommend. We always dine here each time in HI. read more
Quality/Quantity - Prefix dinner with wine pairing, see pictures for specifics. Chicken Spring Roll, Black Bean Dragon Sauce and Szechuan Baby Back Rib paired with Nicolas Feuillatte, "Exclusive Brut Reserve" Champagne. Tender Braised Beef Short Rib & Macadamia Nut Fresh Local Catch (Ahi), Orzo "Mac & Cheese"; paired with Frank Family, Carneros, Pinot Noir. Frank Family is typically one of my favorite wines, but maybe due to the HI weather, it just did not taste the same. Yuzu Lime Cheesecake, Strawberry Puree, Streusel; paired with Royal Tokaji, Late Harvest. We also got the following entrees: Truffle Almond "Mochi Crunch" local catch, swordfish - My favorite dish. It was sooo good. Loved the noodles and the crunch on top of the fish. Misoyaki Butterfish - The fish melts in your mouth. Very good. Atmosphere - Outdoor bar seating. Indoor/outdoor seating. Private or semi private seating available. We walked, so can't tell you about the parking. But they do validate. Open 7 days a week from 4pm to 9pm. Service - 6 Stars; Matt, the assistant waiter took service to the next level!! Another perfect service. He was there when we needed him without suffocating us. He was proactive to our needs (Yelp pictures). Our water glasses never went lower than 2 inches, I had to stop him as I felt obligated to drink all that water; which took away from my wine drinking. Price - $250 + very generous tip. Owner Comment - Please take care of Matt, take care of the people that take care of you! Congrats to Roy Yamaguchi and his team for their success since 1988 with your 32+ restaurants; now 11+ locations. 1993 - James Beard award. 2000 - Sold all interest in the mainland Roys to Bloomin' Brands (Outback Steakhouse). Roy kept his Hawaiian and Pebble Beach locations. 2015 - US restaurants sold again, this time to United Ohana. read more
Had an enjoyable dinner celebrating SO's bday. All courses on the Prix fix menu were delicious. Meatloaf was also very tasty. Cocktails a tad on the sweet side for me. Service was very good from waiter, bussers, runners, and hostess. Reservation process on open table was a breeze and the restaurant was not overcrowded. Mostly tourist crowd vibe. read more

This has always been our favorite Roy's on island and there is so many reasons why. First off we called it on the way there we were about 30 minutes out didn't make reservations because we have infant and we're unsure if we'll be able to go. Roxy answered the phone a table, and when we arrived we were seated immediately. We requested a vegetarian menu since he's a vegetarian and the prefix menu was so delicious. We immediately ordered the pineapple upside down cake since it's one of our favorite desserts . As always I got the short rib but this time it came with the Hawaii mix and had fish as well came with the potatoes and the cheesy pasta the only complaint would be the fish was pretty dry but other than that amazing . I never got the Mai tai and decided to since it was our anniversary it was also very good .Roxy came to the table and was so kind and we had a great conversation and her hospitality was above the bar.She looked out for us and our waiter was even really friendly and attentive . Roxy is a local girl that knows what she's doing and being that she has been at that location it goes to show why this is our favorite from the food to the service always a must go ! I want to also note we always get Valet parking at the hotel and they do validate . read more

Excellent food and service. The fish was so fresh and delicious. The dark chocolate lava cake was perfect too! One of the best meals of my life. read more
This restaurant was right across the street from our hotel, so we decided to give it a try. Boy, were we glad that we did. Everything was outstanding. We chose to sit outside, and the ambiance there for dinner was very nice. The staff immediately brought over complimentary edamame, which was very tasty. We chose to start with the canoe sampler for two appetizer. It contained shrimp sticks, baby back ribs, spring rolls, and spicy ahi tuna. All four items tasted great. We then added the crab cakes, the tostada, and a rainbow roll. Again, everything tasted great. To finish off our meal, we had the Waikiki mud pie. Another winner. read more
The service & ambiance were great, but the food was honestly was not my favorite that's why I'm rating it a 3. I definitely recommend you asking they put you either outside or in the main dining room to get the full Roy's experience. It is typical white table cloth place, kind of reminds me of Chart house but with Asian twist. The only meat they really have is the short rib, which was AMAZING definitely the crowd favorite of the table. Cooked to perfection and so easy to cut. I would absolutely order this next time. I got the misoyaki butterfish which had a ton of flavor and was perfect texture almost melted in my mouth. I wish it came with better sides, but you definitely have the opportunity to order them. My dad got the thanksgiving set course menu for $65 which was much appreciated that they had this because not all of the Hawaiian restaurants had traditional meals for the holiday. We were very surprised with all that it included and the deserts were delicious. Definitely recommend their chocolate lava cake one, if you like brownies, you will LOVE this. read more
Amazing service from the host stand to being seated and our server was so attentive to my food allergies. They are very meticulous if you mention any food allergies and will be conscientious about cross contamination - I'm very appreciative of that. I had low expectations in all honesty especially with them being right smack in the hotel and tourism area with high priced food items on their menu but wow! It is worth every penny. I ordered the baked escargot to start and I would say it is in my top 5 favorites I've had. For my main dish I had the bigeye ahí carpaccio and that was such a good firm texture, dense and meaty. The flavors complimented each other in every bite with a sweet and savory then the citrus. I forgot the name of the plates my friends got but I did try a rib, for me it was too salty for my taste, I would not order that plate specifically. Then they were both served a guava dessert for their birthdays which was a nice touch to end the night. Space was clean didn't feel congested. read more

1000/10! Loved the hospitality in this place. From making a reservation on call to being seated was phenomenal. The host provided a welcoming and guided us to our seats, our server Tanner made sure we were taken care of. Our water cups wasn't empty at all. They served us with Aloha and it was incredible! Also huge thanks to manager Diva who made sure we were taken care of. The food from appetizers til dessert fascinated us. The designs of the food made us feel special. The food itself was delicious. Overall, I recommend celebrating any events in Roy's Waikiki.. The atmosphere in this place is delightful. read more

Surprisingly delicious and fun place to eat. We try to avoid chains but Roy's restaurants are So well done. Just steps from our hotel, we were able to score a seat at the bar and dine on a busy Saturday night. We had the canoe appetizer- 4/10. Spring rolls greasy and the winner on the boat was the kimchee. The compressed watermelon tostada was a piece of art. The flavors were fab 10/10. And lastly the Bacon Au Poivre Hudson Valley Duck breast and leg confit. Who orders duck on a menu with all this great seafood? Beau did 10/10. It was amazing! The duck was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ginger brioche and Sake Berry Marsala made the dish shine and we will go back for it. read more

First night in town and we arrived a bit late, did not plan with our hotel for a dinner reservation so we ventured out to find a bite to eat. Right across the street, we spotted Roy's which looked welcoming with its cute front hostess area. We were told since we didn't have a reservation, unfortunately, we would only have the option of bar seats. Which we accepted. The bartender was fantastic, and attentive, and interacted with us throughout our time but was not overly engaging. He suggested menu items as well as activities in the area. We were there for almost 2 hours, and during that time three tables sat unoccupied. Perhaps there were dinner cancellations, but I am not sure. It would have been nice to be seated at a table, but maybe our experience wouldn't have been the same if we hadn't sat where we did. Brisket was on point Roy's Trio was delicious as well. Cocktail pictured was house martini, don't leave the fruit behind. read more
Last dinner in Waikiki. Made reservations 8 days in advance on Open table, as limited openings. Exactly two years since I've eaten here, just before the pandemic. Chose outdoors even though indoors had openings, due to Omicron precautions. White tablecloths, black cloth napkins, and a salad fork, besides an eating fork. Lighted torches, palm trees, along touristy Waikiki Beach Walk. Decent ambiance Wife ordered the $50 Miyosaki Butterfish, and I ordered the $69 Roy's tasting menu, up in price from $49 first and last time here, February 2020. If you want the sunset special meal, you'll have to make reservations for 4pm at Eating house 1849 Waikiki, Roy's other restaurant. Complimentary plate of edamame to start things off. Our wait was so long that we got a second edamame. My appetizers were the tasting menu of sample tender ribs covered with a sweet sauce, and a single spring chicken roll. All very tasty, but more of a tease than an appetizer. My first sample entrée was a 3 ounce Macadamia nut crusted white fish over pasta. The macadamia nut crust was very thin, and almost not flavor detectable except for the mild crunchiness added to the fish. The second sample entree was the 3 ounce beef short rib, exceptionally juicy and tender. Wife's 7 ounce miyosaki butterfish, was a steamed white fish, with flakes that came right off the fork, tender, buttery, flavorful, an absolute delight, and the main reason for coming here. Came with a grainy Chinese black rice. Wife liked it, but I would have switched to a softer white rice. Dessert for me was a sample size lime cheesecake. We skipped the chocolate souffle so that we could make the sunset off of the beach 15-minute walk away. Used the Grand Expectations card given to Hilton timeshare owners to get 15% off food. Small portions but came prepared as ate a large $10 salad from ABC before coming here for dinner. $101 poorer, before tax and tip, our most expensive meal in Honolulu. And no ocean view. If two of you come here hungry and spend only $101, you'll leave here hungry, a first in Waikiki. read more

We haven't been back here since 6 years ago and we made reservations for 4. Celebrating our daughters 5th birthday our in Oahu. The staff was very nice and accommodating when we first arrived. We sat at the first table inside and I was surprised they had a birthday hat on the table. It was very cool because my daughter was so excited that she worn them hat right away! The food was delicious. The children's menu had an entrée and dessert together which was nice. My son had their pasta and my daughter had the salmon with rice. Both was very pleased with their dishes. There was ice cream with sprinkles for dessert and my daughter had a small special happy birthday cake with a candle. We sang to her ourselves :) I ordered the slow braised beef short ribs and it was delicious! It was bigger than I thought. I almost couldn't even finish it. Came with mash potatoes and some veggies. The appetizers, Brussels and short ribs was really good too! Can't complain, I was very pleased. Made our last dinner night in Oahu complete! I would recommend. read more

One visit and you'll know why this popular restaurant requires a reservation. Our 4th visit with a party of 4 and it was terrific from start to finish. We sat in the main dining room which has warm, Hawaiian decor that is lovely. Our server and his crew was attentive and helpful, offering up the specials and making recommendations. We chose the butterfish and short ribs, a frying dragon maki roll and Szechuan ribs. All were amazing! While there were a number of delicious desserts offered, we were too full to tempt ourselves. Meal cost was reasonable based on restaurant type and quality. There was a wide range of patrons, showing the appeal this popular restaurant has! read more
This is a lovely more fancy restaurant in the Waikiki beach area. It is walking distance from the hotel we were staying. Made a reservation online for 6:30 and our flight was running late, so we arrived about 5 minutes after our reservation time, but no concerns. We were greeted and seated immediately because we had a reservation. Food and drink: free seasoned edamame beans are served at the table once seated. They were the best edamame beans I have ever had. I ordered some water and an old fashioned. The old fashioned was very good, but more on the bitter side. The menu font was so tiny (7 point font) and the lightning in the restaurant was ambient lightening so it was very difficult to read. Our waiter said they want to get everything on the menu, there was so much empty space, they could increase the font to help those with older eyes to read the menu. Our waiter did not offer to assist us, we snapped a photo and used your phones to read the menu. Once you can read it, there are so many food options that sound amazing. I was stuck between three dishes and then I noticed the trio plate that included butterfish, swordfish, and salmon. All fish were cooked to medium, but the salmon was medium rare, I asked for medium. I should have gone with their suggestion because the thinner side of the salmon was cooked a little too long. The pieces were beautifully plated and each portion was a flavor explosion in my mouth with the textures. My favorite was the butterfish because it was very oily dark fleshed fish and just melted into your mouth. The salmon was my next and the swordfish was last. They were all delicious. Bathroom cleanliness: above average Restaurant cleanliness: above average read more

I expected more from this restaurant. Ordered a steak that was soooooo dry and over cooked that I had to order food after I left. Because the steak took an hour or so to get. It was the last item to come out. The spicy tuna roll didn't taste fresh and when I told the waitress she said ok and took it away mind you it was a full roll minus 1 piece and don't offer any apology or replacement or removal from tab. We would've left after this but decided to wait for steak in hopes it would've been better. Which was a mistake. Really let me down. read more

Last night, we had the most wonderful time at Roy's, which is now only found on the islands officially. There is a certain level of perfection that Roy has developed within his business, and shows in his art, esthetics and especially his staff. We had Juni and Christy as our servers and they were spot on with all our needs and went 110 percent to be sure my wife and I had a wonderful 35th Anniversary being married and returning to our Honeymoon Island. The whole Roy's experience not only affect our tastes, but also visual senses through art, decorations and quality throughout the dining experience. We dined on the Al fresco special, which covers all the bases of appetizer, entree and dessert. If I could duplicate this dedication to quality in my life, I would be so thankful to Roy as a sensei to living well! read more

We had our honeymoon dinner here at Roy's. It is suoer convenient from our hotel, just 2mins walk. We decided to get the pre fixed course. Don't be fooled about the portion. Their service is excellent. They'll tend to you. We got an appetizer of zucchini. This was unexpectedly delicious despite being a fried zucchini. We received eggroll and rib. Followed by the main course braised beef. Soufflé chocolate for dessert. I didn't like their cheesecake dessert. Their alcohol is strong, which we love. You're actually getting alcohol compared to watered down drinks. Overall, a pricey dinner but a memorable and delicious dinner. Will come back here for special occasion. Reserve your table on OpenTable. Parking wise, I'm not sure where to park but I'm guessing Royal Hawaiian Center or at embassy, I could be wrong. read more

High end deliciousness! We had a 6pm reservation and walked last the crowd and were seated quickly. I ordered the shrimp with crab ravioli. This was prepared to perfection, pure artistry of flavors and the prawns where huge. Wife ordered the Shibby Roll and Jan-Lam roll and we had a ton of food! Made room for dessert though and the pineapple upside down cake with ice cream might have been the highlight of the evening. Prices were reasonable too for fine dining. Service was spot on and all staff were attentive and friendly. Inside the restaurant was louder than I would have liked for fine dining, not an intimate spot. Keep that in mind if you decide to come. Only stake option on the menu was filet mignonette. Still worth a visit. read more
This place was so freaking good. Prices are high, but you pay for what you get, which at this restaurant is good tasting fresh food. I got the pre fixed menu, which is definitely the way to go unless there's a specific entree item you're wanting to get that's not in the pre fixed menu. With the pre fixed, you get two types of appetizers, two entrees, and a dessert, with everything smaller portioned. Everything on the menu tasted great, with my favorites being the short rib and the hot chocolate soufflé. Short rib was extremely tender and the soufflé was super rich and melty. My parents got the fresh catch cooked in two ways: macadamia nuts crusted and Chinese style. The Chinese style was better in my opinion, but overall, I would still go with the pre fixed menu. For only 20 dollars more, you get exponentially more food with a diverse taste in more of the menu. Would definitely come back again for Roy's! Service was great as well, just be sure to book ahead of time. Also parking is $6 as long as you park at embassy and get Roy's to validate afterword. read more
Grabbed reservations for 5pm today. The o mine didn't show any tables open for tonight. They provide parking validation, if needed. It's around the corner from the embassy suite. Edamame to start. Gianna waited on us, she's on it, super attentive. Vax card, ID and contact tracing form. Ordered the frying dragon, sans tobiko, Bee Green butterleaf, organic romaine Caesar, Roy's classic trio, Hibachi Atlantic salmon and the Roy's signature melting hot soufflé to end our meal. The edamame is cold, tastes decent with the sesame oil. The frying dragon roll is okay, all I get is crunch. Not getting much of the unagi or fish in the roll. The sauce blend isn't bad. I missed the bacon marmalade on the salad, just saw butter lettuce and that's it. The Caesar salad is good, the dressing is light and slightly tart and fresh too. The crostini is buttery and crunchy and good. The curry balsamic is definitely unique and flavorful on the butter lettuce. The butter lettuce was buttery and soft as expected. The hibachi grilled salmon is yummy, the sauce is nice. The macadamia nut fish is lovely too. The misoyaki butter fish is super dark as jerky like, maybe why they recommend it to be cooked medium rare? The service is top here, bussed our table between meals and courses. Clean flatware between courses too. The Roy's signature melting hot chocolate soufflé is so molten, decadent and so delicious. It came out opened and the chocolate magma was already flowing on our plate. Still tasted fantastic. The soufflé with the vanilla ice cream and chocolate bits are wonderful together. The soufflé was the best part of our meal. It's the right way to end this meal! They take this signature dessert seriously and the waitress and manager apologized for our exposed soufflé. They were making some adjustments to the oven. Food was all good, service was top notch here! read more

Quiet, upscale ambiance - we were seated in the main dining section. Started our dining experience with the Canoe appetizer and edamame flavored with sesame and warm chili - great way to start. Our party had an assortment of sushi rolls and filet mignon. Also ordered dessert but it didn't last long enough for a photo. Overall, it was a great dining experience - service was excellent and it was a great location to enjoy a delicious meal along the busy and lively streets of Waikiki. read more

Ask the Community - Roy's Waikiki
Sunday happy hour?
Best sunset sitting?
They do have outdoor seating but view is blocked by the hotels, sorry!
Whats your corkage fee pls?
Can you see the beach from the patio?
No you cannot. Duke's and Hula Grill are better options.
Is there a kids menu?
Yes, there is a very limited kids menu but the prices are still reflective of Roy's.
Do they take gift cards?
No they do not. The Roy's on the mainland is owned by another company (that produces the gift cards), but this one is owned by Roy himself. Any Roy's in Hawaii is only owned by the original Roy.
Do you have to make reservations or can you just walk in?
Most likely need reservations for dinner
Is the phone number valid? I call and it just rings and then drops. No one picks up.
Aloha Tovan , Actually not too sure about the phone number but you also may be…
Does Roy's allow sandals? Birkenstocks, not the 99 cent store style.
I don't think they really say anything it wasn't a problem when I went
Do they still have that early sunset fixed price menu?
Yes, I saw the advertisement when I went this past weekend.
I booked last night on open tables but when I showed up the place was shut for renovations.very disappointed does anybody know when it will open again?
Anyone order anything gluten free? Can't really tell from menu... it is for a teen so nothing super fancy (Lol)...
There was a good amount of gluten free options and the waiter offered to have something specifically made. Most of the food was fresh fish, veggies and fruits. And all really yummy.
Is there a dress code?
No beach/swim wear, no tank top for men. Flip flop is OK.
Where is the nearest or best parking?
Embassy suites! Check in on Yelp and get 3 hours parking free.
What are the best tables at Roy's in summer?
Sit inside it's way too hot and muggy to sit out on the patio.
