   We were a party of 5 adults who enjoyed a fantastic Christmas dinner. Five different entrees, drinks, and three desserts…all delicious! Roy’s Waikaloa has never disappointed, and this experience was at the top of the list. Awesome!!

   Food and cocktails were just ok. Everything drowning in some variation of teriyaki sauce. Service was clearly overbooked. Not nearly the excellent experience we have had at Roy’s in Pebble Beach and Maui.

   Absolutely delicious! We had a wonderful meal of braised short ribs, shrimp, au gratin potato’s, veggies, and a chocolate soufflé to end the evening. Plus, we had an amazing server. I Highly recommend Roy’s for your next culinary evening out.

   Food was excellent. Went 2x’s in one week. Had the Mix Grille 1st time and the scallops the 2nd time. Both very good! Deserts both times were also very good.

   We have been to about 3 different Roy’s restaurants in various islands in Hawaii, all are good and the food at this one was no exception. We started off with the seared ahi sashimi in their special mustard sauce, so good! Then on to the baby Romaine with blue cheese which was cold and crisp and hit the spot. For mains we couldn’t pass up the butterfish which some might know as black cod or sable fish. Roy’s does this fish justice as a signature dish and I have never had it better. Finally we finished with splitting one of their delicious chocolate soufflé. The food was delicious, the service very good and the staff friendly. The one thing this restaurant is lacking is the atmosphere. It doesn’t feel very Hawaiian in that the decor is rather white and bland and the restaurant is all closed up not open air so you don’t get the Hawaii vibe like some other local restaurants. I think it could use a major redesign and refresh and that would really help justify the price of your dinner. Obviously that cost big money and it probably doesn’t pencil out. Roy’s has a formula for where they put these restaurants and it obviously works for them. So if you want good food and service then you can easily ignore the rest and just enjoy!
