    Roy's has never disappointed. We had the sea bass and the classic 4 seafood dish. The chocolate lava cake for desert tops off the experience.

    Food was ok, VERY overpriced for what we received. Main course and desert were overcooked. Server was outstanding, but kitchen was very slow. Roy’s, you can do better.

    It took over an hour for our meal to arrive. One of our guests had to cancel his order and leave early due to a meeting. Fortunately, we had an excellent waiter..

    Food is excellent. However, the wait time between ordering and receiving food ranges between 50 and 70 minutes which is just too long. For a restaurant that is continually serving conferences, they are routinely understaffed to manage the amount of people they seat.

    We waited for an hour after ordering and never got our food so we left. I would have rated food a zero, but there’s no way to do that on Open Table.

    Outstanding food and creative custom cocktails. The view cannot be beat. The only reason they lost a star was they didn’t wipe the table between courses.
