| - My husband and I totally, totally loved Roy's. Definitely not inexpensive and quite expensive for us. We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary here this year. I made a reservation online, very easy. Saw their menu online, so I knew our dinner was going to be over $100 for the two of us.
Neither of us drink alcohol, so that greatly tamed our bill. The ambiance is romantic and tropical, but noisy and fairly dark. The staff there from the time we entered all treated us like royalty as well as the others.
They had a note for us in our menus helping us celebrate our wedding anniversary. We really loved the personal touch. Our water glasses were always refilled. The food was scrumptious.
For appetizers, I can't remember the exact names, we had some pork spare ribs (this was a lot and I expected a couple spare ribs but it almost seemed like 1/3 or 1/2 a slab of baby back ribs. Very tender and cooked perfectly. My husband LOVES ribs. I ordered some type of beef spring rolls, but spring rolls for the Asian is not deep fried, rather they use rice paper. They deep fried these "spring" rolls. These were delicious, but the most expensive eggrolls I've ever eaten. Still that's fine. I think appetizers price can go from $7-$15.
Every plate that came out from the appetizers to the dessert were all beautifully decorated. Different people other than the main server checked on us. They made it very special for us.
For dinner, my husband ordered some stuff pork tenderloin stuff with pecans and dates with a bacon risotto. We've never eaten not fully cooked pork before. We were uncomfortable with eating medium rare pork and sent that dish back to the kitchen to have it cooked more. They were fine and didn't treat us as if we were ruining the chef's creation. My husband liked the pork well done and not pink. This was probably in the realm of $28-30.
I had some butterfish, which is a black Alaskan cod that just melted in your mouth. The sauce had a sweet taste to it and it was atop baby bok choy and a black rice. Very yummy. I think this was in the realm of $35+.
I didn't expect the portions of food to be so big. I was thinking the portions would be more along the lines of French food, so by the time dinner was done, we were stuffed and had to take home some food.
This was more than enough food and we didn't have any room for dessert, but they surprised us with this beautiful plate of desserts with "Happy Anniversary" written on it with a trio of desserts on it - creme brulee, some chocolate thing and something else. All very yummy. Though we were stuff, we ate this and this really put us over the edge.
We gave a really big tip because they gave us way, way more than we expected with top notch service. This won't be a restaurant we frequent due to price, but it is definitely worth doing on a special occasion.
This was a wonderful date. All the food was yummy. Excellent service and worth every penny.
