Sat at the bar and had some drinks and appetizers - my wife loves the Hawaiian martinis. Watch out for the pineapple garnish - they serve the pieces that have been soaked in alcohol - quite the kick! I have been to Roy's in multiple cities, and it's always good food, drinks and service.

This is a great restaurant right at the street level of the Embassy Suites, across the street from Haleukalani Hotel and Trump Hotel. We walked by it a few times and it looked tiny and quiet from the outside. Upon entering we were pleasantly surprised as we were lead into this huge and expansive open room. It is a typical... More

I must say I'm a bit surprised at some of the negative reviews. We make it a point to dine at Roy's every time we're in Waikiki and this time was no exception. We've dined at many of the Roy's around the country from Florida to Hawaii and find this one exceptional. While each Roy's has some of the same... More

On a conference meal for about 40 people. Staff was great and kept things moving and the food really very good. An unexpected surprise for Waikiki.

I struggled with how to write a review of this place because we enjoyed it the first time and we hated it the second time. I had been eagerly looking forward to going to Roy's for a while. One evening we were still satiated from lunch and we decided to sit at the bar and have a few pupus and... More

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with the others who gave this place a miss. It was my number one most looked-forward to restaurant of this trip, based on other reviews, and it was a complete disappointment. The service WAS terrible. Also, our waiter lied to us at the end of the night, and told us that if we... More

We grabbed lunch off the bar menu (restaurant wasn't open for lunch) while ducking out of the rain. Bartender was super nice and accomodating. We stayed across the street at The Outrigger Reef so it was convenient for us. The menu was eclectic - which I like - not typical bar menu. The NBA Playoffs were on so my husband... More

After reading rave reviews and recommended by friends we had to try this restaurant. It's ok. Nothing to crow about. We had the appetizer plate, lobster appetizer with cheese (minuscule pics for I think $30, beef short ribs, and I forgot 2 more main dishes. Creme brûlée was runny inside. Once is enough.

After going to Roy's for afternoon drinks and deciding to book a table the same night, I was dismayed to read recent reviews about Roy's. I was in the verge of cancelling out reservation because of the reviews! However, I was very glad I didn't. The waiter, Paul, was attentive and helpful. The food was superb, the chocolate soufflé thick... More
