When visiting Scottsdale recently, our family wanted something other than spicy Mexican food & decided on Roy's. It was a decent choice, however not spectacular.
The JW Marriott setting was beautiful (we stayed at this hotel last month), but hard not to compare it with the Roy's we know & love in Hawaii. We also didn't consider the parking situation. It was disappointing- the choice of far away parking in the giant hotel lot (minimum 10 minute walk or longer in high heels) or paying an exorbitant valet fee.
Most of us had their famous & delectable butterfish and spare ribs. The fish was divine - the spare ribs not so much, we compared it to our mother's pot roast (not a mouth-watering memory). The lobster dumplings were good, the tuna poke had an unexpected majority of avocado & other veggies in it. We also shared a tasty carmelized pineapple upside down cake and the chocolate bomb with remarkable coconut ice cream :-) The staff was professional & courteous. All in all, a nice meal, but rather expensive. I think we'll try a different restaurant on our next visit to Scottsdale.
