    Oysters selection was great and the rest of the food was very good, but be prepared to pay a high price, especially for drinks.

    Food was good, service very good. As soon as we finished paying our bill, hostess came to table to tell us we had to leave since they had other reservations. We were finished and paid in 60 minutes.

    Oysters were not what we expected. Clam chowder and seared duck was good.

    We had a great lunch at Tom's. I had the Cajun Jambalaya and it was excellent. Highly recommended!

    I always liked the original location in grosse pointe. Have not been to Royal since it first opened. Still great!

    Our server Danielle was wonderful, making great recommendations. The food was very good and reasonably priced. My husband had oysters and salmon and loved it. My poke bowl was good- a little light on the tuna. Drinks were great and the ambiance is fun. Slip next door to Ale Mary’s for a drink too- the Christmas decor is insane!

    First visit and overall we enjoyed our experience. Food was good but a bit pricey given the locale. Decent drinks and good service.
