| - I really wanted to LOVE Roy's, but it just didn't do it for me. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I left feeling very "meh."
My husband and I were staying at the JW with a Travelzoo deal, and we had been wanting to try Roy's since we live very close anyway, but never had the chance. So we figured why not. We were greeted and seated right on time in a very private booth indoors. The weather was nice enough to sit outside, but everyone was outside and we wanted a more romantic dinner rather than having to listen to everyone else's conversations and screaming kids.
Our server was really great - knowledgeable, attentive but not overbearing, and I wish I could remember his name. We started with our drinks...my husband ordered his typical Jack and Diet and I ordered a glass of wine. I wasn't impressed with the wine menu, however, as I was trying to decide between two different glasses, our server brought me tastes of both options, which was a really nice touch.
We had the lobster potstickers for an appetizer, which I really enjoyed. However, as others have mentioned, the portions are very small for what you are paying. I rolled my eyes at those reviews before I dined here, but having experienced it now, I can confirm that really, they are small. It wouldn't have bothered me if I paid $15 for 3 bites and those bites were the most amazing flavors I've ever tasted, but that was not the case.
Moving on to dinner - I ordered the Roy's Trio, which included 2.5 oz servings of the salmon, mahi, and butterfish, and some rice. Again, very small portion. Although I was satisfied with the amount of food, my husband was not. I like the butterfish very much and wished I had ordered that as my entree. The other two were just "meh" as far as flavor for me. My husband had the Ahi and he liked it but didn't love it (story of the evening).
We finished with the chocolate lava cake. Great decision. It was soooo good. We aren't big chocolate people, but it just sounded good that night and boy are we glad we ordered it. SO YUMMY.
I would have really liked Roy's if they had been priced just a little lower - I don't think my entree was worth paying more than $25 or so. I have spent the same amount of money on the same amount of food (appetizer to share, entrees, dessert to share) at much nicer restaurants, which is really what is holding me back from liking Roy's more. I would tell people to try it for yourself, but for us, it was fine but just didn't live up to expectations.
