| - My husband asks me to travel with him, often. 99% of the time, I just can't get away. However, when he told me that he was going to Scottsdale AND that there's a Roy there, I asked him to book my ticket immediately and I would clear my schedule!! We live in Charlotte, NC and the closed Roy's is 6.5 hours away! Shameful!
Let me preface the 4 star rating by saying that it really should be 4.5 stars, but that's not an option (Hello, Yelp...get with the .5 star ratings already!). I really wanted it to be a "5" experience, but it didn't quite live up to the 5 star stellar perfection of the experience that we had at Roy's in Waikiki Beach, Hawaii. If the Miso Butterfish (one of Roy's Signature dishes on the menu at all of their locations) was prepared exactly as it was in Waikiki, then I would have given 5 stars, no problem! Everything else about this visit was spot-on, but the difference in the fish had to take it down to 4 stars.
We arrived early for our reservation so we waited at the bar and enjoyed delicious drinks and an appetizer from the Happy Hour Menu until our table was ready. My husband had the Mango Mojito and I had the Hawaiian Martini. Both of them were strong and delicious. The Hawaiian Martini was my favorite drink of the week! I ordered the Happy Hour Tempura Crusted Spicy Ahi Tuna Roll. It was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Easily, the most delicious thing I ate all week....and I ate some really good food in AZ that week!!! The Bartender was new to that location so he was still learning the ropes. He was SO nice, very friendly, and very attentive. He's going to do great there!
Our table opened up just as we finished our appetizer. We were seated at a nice table that had great view of the dining room. My husband ordered the Bing Cherry stuffed Pork Tenderloin. It was beautifully plated, seasoned perfectly, and was moist and delicious. He was very pleased. The Apple & Goat Cheese Potatoes Au Gratin were also excellent. As mentioned earlier in my post, I ordered the Miso Butterfish. It was very good, but it wasn't the sublime dish that I had in Waikiki Beach. The flavors were only marginally different, but enough to make a difference. We ordered the Kona Coffee Creme Brulee for dessert, but it was a bit too strong tasting for my liking.
Service was excellent, attentive, and timely. The restaurant is very pretty and the overall ambiance is inviting and upscale, but still comfortable and not stuffy. It was a great meal and a lovely dining experience. I would definitely go back and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone.
