| - I had thought I had posted a review for Roy's when I dined here last year for Restaurant Week, but I guess I didn't. That's OK, because I wanted to post a new review after eating here last week for my mom's birthday, and make sure that i gave Roy's 5 stars.
First, I made reservations online, and since my mom has food allergies, I typed some information into the box that asked about it on their site. It also asked me if we were celebrating a birthday, which we were.
When we arrived, we were seated and discovered that they had a special "Happy Birthday Susan" paper printed out and inserted into our menus. What a cool idea. After we ordered and they took our menus, they rolled up the papers with a ribbon as a gift. They also took our picture and printed it out and put it in a paper frame for us to keep. On top of that, a few different employees stopped by the table to wish her a happy birthday. No annoying birthday song, but everything Roy's did to celebrate was very classy.
On to the food! I had their prix fixe menu and had the trout along with a shrimp cake appetizer. My girlfriend had a shrimp dish, and my mom had the halibut. We all enjoyed our meals immensely, and the staff brought up my mom's food allergies I had typed in before we mentioned it in person.
For me, it was all a precursor to dessert, though, where I had the chocolate lava cake that came with the prix fixe dinner. This is simply the best dessert I've ever had, and I'd eat actual lava as a main course just to get to the dessert. They also brought vanilla bean creme brule with a candle in it for my mom, on the house of course.
Our server Justin was great, as was the rest of the staff at Roy's. Definitely a place I'll be celebrating special occasions at in the future.
