What can be said about this place? Are you looking for a beautiful night out with your spouse? Are you celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or graduation? Are you looking for an absolutely amazing table side service? From the moment you walk in, you can feel the level of professionalism and pride everyone takes in working here. The food is absolutely delicious, the drinks are strong, and the service is OUT of this world. The price is FULLY justified here, but you will be hard pressed to find a better level of attention to detail at any other place on the Island. Josh was absolutely fantastic as well.
High end restaurant but well worth the dinner. Expect to pay about $50 per person depending on what you get. The price is high but it is well worth it. There are plenty of tables but only a few you have a party of 6 or more so be ready to wait if you have a large party. If you have less, you can probably get a table but doesn't hurt to make reservations. The waiters here are very attentive and my water glass or beer glass was never empty. Be aware some of the main courses here do take time but once I tasted my food it was good. It also wasn't one of those restaurants with not enough to eat. I was definitely full after my meal and I enjoyed all of it. I got the deluxe meal which came with a variety of different food so good for if you can't decide this was a good go to. Overall, the atmosphere here is great for a date, for family, for a get together with friends, or just dinning alone too. Well worth your $$$ to spend on the high end food. You'll come out full.
Overall experience was very good. Several of us got the short ribs but one of us got one that was much tougher and tasted a bit different so make sure to let the staff know if you experience any inconsistencies. The rest of the meal had no issues. The outdoor patio area is nice but just a view of the street with the random loud car driving by now and then.
I have to comment on the service first. It was the best service we have experienced in Oahu . The servers where knowledgeable of the menu and kept food on the table for all parts of the meal. It was full experience. Next, the food... yes please! Every person loved their order. There were several options for kids as well. The souffle came recommended and it didn't disappoint, it was the perfect dessert. Don't miss out on Roy's, make your reservation soon!
Came here with a group of 9 for a vacation. I got the catch of the day (sword fish) on spaetzle and an appetizer of crab cakes. My girl and i finished off a chocolate souffle and delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream. First, I'd like to give my compliments to the chef, as that was by far the best plate of fish i have ever had the pleasure of eating. I was practically drinking it. Secondly, I'd like to highlight the staff for being extremely attentive and so nice. Again, i haven't ever experienced hospitality such as this, and it really comes along with the price you pay. They treat you well and make sure you have all you need during the meal. After dinner was served, they brought out towelettes to help with the edimame they started everyone with. What a spectacular experience at a modern eatery amongst so many tourist eateries serving deep fried slop in the most American way. I highly suggest you try this place even if you buy the cheapest thing on the menu. I will return as often as I'm able to in my lifetime. Thank you so much to Roy's for an unforgettable experience.
Not going to lie - this was a really expensive meal. By leaps and bounds the priciest of our time in Oahu. BUT its one of the few expensive restaurants I've dined at that are worth the price for some of their dishes. I had 4 favorites: The Misoyaki Butterfish was superb - both flaky and flavorful! The Blue Crab Dynamite Fish Tempura Lobster knocked it out of the park as well with the amazing Shallot & Mushroom Risotto at the bottom. Ugh so good. I wish I could have ordered more of that risotto on the side! The Frying Dragon Roll was a wonderful crunchy treat with the wasabi butter adding just the right level of kick to start off the meal. The Garlic Parmesan Jumbo Black Tiger Shrimp was pretty epic as well. My family had a little debate over whether the Shrimp or the Lump Crab Ravioli made the dish (I argued for the Ravioli). Bit of Bad: If you check any of my other reviews, its not hard to tell that I LOVE dessert. Typically always leave space for it and did here at Roy's Waikiki. We tried the Signature Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle, the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, and the Pandan Panna Cotta special they had at the time. And while the Pandan Panna Cotta was bright, light, and refreshing, the two Hot Desserts were fairly major letdowns. Both tasted just below average and at double the price I've paid anywhere else. I'd skip and get dessert elsewhere if you still have the space after the rest of the amazing meal you'll have at Roy's Waikiki.
This is the most amazing meal I’ve had in my life. Drinks were great! We had the canoe sampler appetizer and everything on it was delicious. Fish entrees were also so good. Peanut butter crunch bar for dessert. Servers very attentive. 10/10 on the whole experience. I have absolutely zero complaints!
