| - Oh Roy's I always forget how delicious you are!
I've been to my share of Roy's restaurants (Michigan, Florida, Nevada...) and I can't believe I have never written a review!
Start with the calamari and end with the melting hot chocolate soufflé. I PROMISE YOU WON'T BE SORRY!
They have an excellent Prix Fixe Menu that changes with the season and it was very "autumn" right now so nothing caught our eyes. But if you see that you like it- its the best price way to go!
So, here is what we had:
- Panko Crisped Calamari
- Lakanilau (sushi you will NOT find anywhere else!!)
- Roy's Roasted Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi (x 2 as my husband had it as well!)
- Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé
My husband and I are calamari snobs, if you will, because we love calamari and we always like to try it at various places. Roy's definitely turned into our favorite. So you know when you order calamari at places and you get the rings and something like looks like the claws? I hate the "claw" looking pieces. Well at Roy's- no rings and no "claws"! They are just perfect, meaty pieces of calamari, perfectly cooked with a perfect coating of panko. They come with a delicious chili glaze & Yuza ailoi. We could have eaten that as our main course!
The Lakanilau has wagyu beef, snow crab, asparagus, avocado, sesame miso and truffled greens. I am like only the only person in the world that has JUST RECENTLY (like in the past 3 weeks!) tried sushi. And I loved it! Nothing too crazy though. This was the "craziest" I have tried. And its not even crazy! But I have never seen this on another menu and it was VERY good! The wagyu beef was insane!
I've had the Macadamia nut crushed mahi mahi a many times at Roy's and its my favorite thing. Its a VERY generous piece of mahi mahi with asparagus and a few potatoes. Yum! I know i'm not going into great detail, but I'm sure its gotta be one of the most popular items on the menu.
Now, if you leave Roy's without trying the Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé, you need to be slapped. I'm not kidding. This is my favorite part of the dinner, even though everything else is fabulous. You need to tell your server (they usually ask when you are placing your order) that you will want the chocolate soufflé. The soufflé has this melting chocolate part in the middle, that when it comes to the table, you need to break it open and have it ooze over the vanilla bean ice cream and the raspberry sauce. All of these flavors do a beautiful dance on your tongue and you will be smiling the entire time you are eating it.
My parents used to sit at the bar, so they could watch the chefs making the dinners, sushi and soufflé and they always said it was the best part of their dinner.
The dinner ran us about $150, including two glasses of wine, but it was well worth the price for this incredible dinner.
Total side note: My cousin was a manager at an Outback in Hawaii and Roy's was the only other restaurant on the island. Roy was always there and he said how nice and down to earth guy Roy was. Knowing that, makes me want to eat there even more!
When they seat you, they ask if you are celebrating a special event. And here's why: when it's someone's birthday (I think there were 3 there last night!) they bring out a dessert and take the table's photo. Before you leave, then bring it out in Roy's frame for you to take home. Pretty cool!
Great food & great fusion! Nom nom nom!!!
