   All of the dishes were excellent. The service was great. Initially we reserved seats at the bar and soon we were offered a table with beautiful view of the ocean. Loved the whole experience!

   Excellent tasting and presentation of food. Service was 5 star. The perfect Hawaiian setting for our last dinner in Hawaii before returning home.

   Spur of the moment reservation, online at 6pm and got 7:45 reservation. We went for pupu and drinks. The Roy’s Old fashioned is pretty good. We ordered the canoe for two, which was great. The order of Ahi sashimi was kinda small but ono. Also ordered the Ahi 20 sushi, and that was ono too. Finished with the Sweet bread pudding, perfect. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures. We had a really nice time and good food for great date night.

   Every single employee there were tentative polite. They went out of their way to talk to you and make you feel like family manager on duty stopped and talked to us and stayed a bit was very cordial, and the food was amazing. If it would've been earlier, we would've had an amazing view on top of it.

   Our reservation was well handled for a surprise birthday gathering for my wife. Our table was near the service area so it was pretty noisy, and we could not have been further from the perfectly timed sunset view (although I did not ask for window seating). The food was excellent -- tasty and well presented. My half-size salmon portion looked to be almost as large as my brother's full serving. The kitchen forgot one of the sides for my plate, but our server quickly got that filled once I pointed it out. He also forgot my brother's after-dinner coffee request; but once reminded, promptly brought one out. My Roy's signature chocolate souffle dessert served warm fulfilled all my chocolate dreams: spectacular! Wine, water, and coffee refills were watched attentively, and we were not rushed even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Overall staff were friendly, courteous, and seemed to really enjoy their work.

   Roy's represents a fine-dining experience, yet allows for a casual atmosphere; that is especially appealing so as to be comfortable eating out, enjoying food of high quality

   First time here but have been to the Roy’s in SF and had a great experience. I had similar expectations for the original Roy’s but left disappointed. Pro: Server and staff were friendly and attentive Cons: Quality of food has gone down- pork belly was burnt, hair in my drink, dessert was not tasty. Would I come back? Unlikely.

    I made reservation months ago to celebrate Xmas with family. The setting is lovely but we waited almost an hour for our first plate of Arancini which was very dry. The salad was ok and nothing special and our dinner was almost 1.5 hours after arrival. The server apologized for the delay and he never refilled my grandson’s soda, I had to request it. The evening meal for 3 with a bottle of wine was almost $500 and I truly left disappointed. I could have eaten a better meal anywhere else in Oahu for half the price, tastier food and better service.
