Roy's Restaurant

This will be our fourth Wine pairing dinner, this one sponsored by Duckhorn Vineyards. My vote so far that this event has been the best one attended. If you are a foodie, want to celebrate and event, or just want to have fun, relax and enjoy a special meal in a small venue, maybe even meet some new friends which we did, this would be it.

Dusckhorn vineyards ran this event, throughout the dinner, giving a short history of each wine paired with each dishes. the 5 wonderful dishes were Hawaiian Kampachi, Lobster Dim Sum, Kurobuta Pork Kakuni, Shoyu Charred Ribeye and a Mille Feuille for desert. Every dish was presented beautifully and tasted superb with a wine (except for the desert).

Atmosphere: Roy's decor, but in a private room. Service: excellent, Food: excellent

Came here for a private birthday party. We were in a private room and had a limited menu of appetizers. But everything they brought out tasted amazing. The cocktails were for sure on point. I'm glad I wasn't driving that night because I enjoyed. Few of them! Super tasty.

Service was on point. We had the best staff bringing us food and drinks quickly.

Our first time at Roy's and we were surprised by the food, ambiance, and service. Enjoyed our evening.

Had a reservation for birthday dinner, we arrived late so the hostess asked to us to grab a table at the bar and get started with the drinks. She later called us to get seated at the dining area. Saved time standing and waiting because we got to enjoy our cocktails!! Great service right there.

We had the appetizer platter followed by the ahi spicy roll and the classic four as the main course, the food was good. From the platter, the rolls, lobster gyoza, and ribs were so so good. The classic four was decent in portion to share. The tuna just melted in our mouths. Rest all the three sea items tasted good.

Our server took really good care of us. He explained the menu patiently.! The ambiance and decor are intimate. Overall we enjoyed our evening.

Oh yes, the Hawaiian Martini is a must try!

Roy's never disappoints. From the butterfish to the filet, even the salads, all fabulous.

The most recent visit was Christmas Eve and they were super busy so service was a tad slow but the waiter apologized a couple of times. We didn't mind because we wanted to enjoy our meal and not be rushed. Miss the PHX locations.

Unfortunately this location like all of Roy's locations are permanently closed as of June 2022

Another mixed feelings location. The menu is fun and enticing.... loads of options. Beer menu is Konami, witch is OK. Pricing is high, even at happy hour. Service was amazing! Top notch! The food was good but not mind blowing. The ribs were the best. Mahi was good but low on flavor. Pineapple cake was great. Overall a great stop

Second attempt coming here and I am glad I gave it another shot!

Our reservation was at six and we arrived around 6:10pm. However, when we checked in they sat us down right away. We were seated at a booth table located towards the back, right next to the kitchen with a view of the whole restaurant--I loved it!. I brought one of my amazing best friends Jennifer as my guest. We ordered the following:

DRINKS:
*Mango Mojito - The perfect balance of sweet & refreshing
*Tiki P.O.G. Punch - This was such a tropical drink, super YUMMY and has become one of my favorites!

TO START:
*Lobster potstickers - The perfect crisp and tenderness. However, the butter miso sauce makes it a worthy starter.
*Crispy Wok Fried Shrimp Tempura - A mix of sweet, salty and savory. Very light but yummy!
(We thought these starters alone would leave no room for our entrees but surprisingly although we ate it all it our they were light but flavor-FULL.

ENTRE:
*Grilled Filet Mignon - The meat was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. It was tender, flavorful and savory. The potatoes were killer! Very rich and soulful. (Jen's words)
*Roasted Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi - I was concerned about ordering a fish for dinner as many times I don't get full but this definitely was a MEATY fish. The crust and the lobster cream sauce are what made this plate a solid 4.5 starts for me. I don't give it a 5 because it comes with big round slices of potatoes and I'm not the biggest fan of potatoes but overall very yummy and filling and worth the try!

DESSERT:
*Chocolate Soufflé - We did not finish it because we were STUFFED but it was the cherry on top to our dinner. Very chocolatey and decadent. The ice-cream balanced it all out.

Total: $167.00

Overall, we were treated like queens. The Manager came to check in on us about 2 times throughout our time there just to see if we were happy with service and food taste. He also made sure to say goodbye to us when we were heading out. Roy's Restaurant made out Girls nigh out dinner memorable!

Visiting from out of town and stopped in to see an old favorite. I used to live in Orlando and frequented that location. The service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. I had the lobster bisque and halibut. Great presentation and flavor. The bisque could have been a little warmer.

My aunt and uncle have raved about this place for so long I had to try it. They are on the pricy side of the scale. I've always enjoyed the ambience of an upscale restaurant but sometimes the food isn't quite worth the costs, which I felt here. Don't get me wrong the food was okay but not worth what was paid. I think you more so are paying for the food and building to be pretty rather than taste and portions. The service wasn't quite as good as expected either. I kind of felt like we were an afterthought but it could have just been our server.

All in all, I would give it another shot and I'd say it's at least worth you trying once.

Yet another fantastic Wine Pairing Dinner put on by Roy's. This time featuring Prisoner Wines. If You've never participated in one of these tastings you should. Well worth the money set in a small venue, family seating so you can meet other people... food and wine are great!

Prisoner Wines served with each course. We started off with a Chilled Lump Crab Cocktail. Then onto an Olive Oil Poached Loch Etive Steelhead Trout, Seared Duck Breast, Pistachio Filet Mignon and ending with a Chinese Five Spiced Pumpkin Creme Brulee. Simply amazing!

Food and service for the wine pairing dinners fantastic!

If you want Asiob fusion this is your spot. We ordered 2 starters, the calamari and the lobster potsticker. The calamari was dried to perfection however, it lacked seasoning. The dipping sauce was a little spicy. It was ok, but I wouldn't order it again. The lobster potsticker on the other hand was amazing. Cooked perfectly and simply delicious. The sauce was light and the perfect accompaniment to the potsticker.

Thirsty? Order that Hawaiian Martini if you like a sweet SMOOTH drink that is perfectly
Crafted. This is one of the best Martini's I've had. It's not too strong or overly sweet it was a well balanced amount of everything.

As an entree we both ordered the Chilean Seabass. Now I've had Seabass quite a few places but this is by far the best Seabass I've ever had. It's served over a bed if spinach, potatoes and mini tomatoes with a butter miso sauce that will make you want to pick the whole plate up and lick it clean

You can't go out and not eat dessert! I ordered the pineapple Upside down cake. Mostly cause you rarely see that on a menu and I like to order stuff I don't make at home and can't find on most restaurants menus. It was well worth it. The cake had diced pineapple and the crust was the perfect combination of fluffy and crusty. The coconut ice cream was light and went perfectly with the cake. I would definitely recommend this dessert. Just know you have to order it early cause they cook them to order. I love a dessert that I know is being made just for me. Don't you?
