Having grown up eating Hawaiian food, parents are from Maui, I would like to think that I have a certain "tongue" for the flavors of the islands. I've never been able to make it to the Downtown LA branch. This past weekend's Vegas trip for my cousins birthday allowed us to finally try it out. I tend to not like "fusion" restaurants as they tend to butcher the cuisine away from the traditional and towards the mainstream taste. I can honestly say that Roy's does no such butchering.
Service: If I could give a 10 star just for service I would. On the way to the restroom, I stopped by the front desk and informed them that it was my cousins birthday. I had found out later that a Happy Birthday message was given to my cousin as I was in the restroom. Our drinks were never empty over the entire meal, sometimes even being replaced when half empty. Our waiter was awesome and was very truthful about his recommendations. As we walked out the front door after dining, the valet had my car already sitting there. Top notch service!
Appetizers: For appetizers we had - Tiger Prawns w/ Pad Thai, Rock Shrimp & Peaches, Ahi Tuna Poke and the Heirloom Tomato & Crispy Mozzarella Salad. All were great, I'd have to say the tomato and mozzarella salad was the best of the 4 with the Poke in a close second.
Main Dish: I had the Misoyaki Butterfish. This was excellent as well. Flavors were bold and the fish was exceptionally prepared.
Dessert: Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle. This was by far the star of the meal. Do not look at anything else for dessert, just order it! I cannot put into words how good this was.
I loved the whole evening at this Roy's and cannot wait to try the Downtown LA branch. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.....
