I was in town visiting my husband who is here on business, and he wanted to take me out for a nice meal. We immediately thought of Roy's since we'd had such fantastic meals at two of his other locations; Tampa and Las Vegas/Summerlin. I was still suffering from East Coast jet lag and a cold, so it wasn't my... More

Went to Roy's to celebrate a birthday. The service was fast and friendly. The view at sunset was terrific. Food was exceptional. We ordered from the 3 course fixed menu. The appetizer sampler course, of shrimp, spring roll, and rib, was enough for dinner. Then I had the braised short ribs which were fantastic. She had the mac nut crusted... More

Ate at Roy's for the first time while on vacation at Waikiki. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Meal was the top 5 I have ever had. We shared the sample appetizers including shrimp sticks, braised ribs, and crab cakes - delicious! I had the mango scallops and my husband had the beef. Both were superb. We shared the pineapple...

Everything in Hawaii is casual if you are expecting any more formal settings. It is a chain with another restaurant in Waikiki. Good seafood selection and very creative preparation. A few miles to the east of Honolulu but easy to find on the main highway.

We loved this restaurant with one exception - and it would have been a 5 except for this. The host upstairs was really nice and very helpful (even bringing over a chair to place a sleeping child on). Our waiter was nice and very responsive. The food was great with a really nice and well priced kids menu. Adults were... More

My wife and I have previously been to many Roy's restaurants (San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Pebble Beach, Newport Beach, San Diego, Kauai, Maui). We picked this location when we went to Honolulu (despite there being a Roy's on Waikiki in the Embassy Suites closer to where we were staying) because we wanted to try the original Roy's. We were not... More

We had eaten here five or six years ago and really enjoyed it. This was our last night on the island so we decided to splurge. We knew it would be pricey but we decided to splurge. We called for reservations mid-afternoon and had a nice table by the window with a beautiful view of the ocean. Mai Tai’s from... More
