★★★★☆ 4.0 Arturs Mons · Feb 2026

The food was truly great — well prepared, flavorful, and presented beautifully. You can tell there’s real attention to quality in the kitchen, and each dish felt thoughtfully put together. The space itself is stunning. The design, the ambiance, and especially the view make it a place you want to linger and enjoy the evening. It has that elevated feel that makes dinner feel like an occasion. Service was good overall, though it could have been a bit more attentive at times. Nothing major, just small moments where a little more awareness would have elevated the experience even further. All in all, I’d definitely come back — particularly for dinner and to enjoy that view again.

We had the Christmas holiday prefix meals. Well worth it. Appetizers and Entrees were delightful. We savored every bite. Lobster bisque - very flavorful on each spoonful tuna sushi roll - superb crunch and taste profile Filet mignon and lobster tails - impressive Seabass - the best Macadamia nut pudding with guava sauce and ice cream - average Grand Marnier with berries - forgettable Mango lychee margarita - delicious

★★★★☆ 4.0 Daniella Holland · Aug 2025

Went for a business dinner with 9 people. The view of the marina was beautiful, the service was good, but the food was wondering. The best scallops I've had. The appetizers were really good, too. It was a bit loud, even speaking with the people right next to me. Highly recommend.

10/10 - This Place Knows How to Celebrate! (and Cook!) If I could give Roy's a rating higher than 10/10, I absolutely would! This was our first time dining here, and it also happened to be our anniversary. I'm so glad I noted the special occasion when making the reservation. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm anniversary wishes from the hostess, our server, and even a passing waitress. The service was impeccable – we were treated so well throughout the entire evening. But the real star of the show was the food. It was truly amazing! You can tell the cooks take incredible care with the taste and presentation of each dish. Every single bite was a little piece of heaven. And then there was the anniversary dessert... They called it a lava cake, but I'm pretty sure it w

★★★★★ 5.0 Wandering in Paradise · Nov 2025

Delicious, relaxing, and beautiful lunch at Roy’s Restaurant in downtown! Such a gorgeous view on the water and the boats, and so calming sitting on the dog friendly outdoor patio. We enjoyed the lobster potstickers, shrimp tempura roll, misoyaki Japanese eggplant & rice cakes with shrimp, and lobster roll. Al the food was excellent. We really like the Hawaiian martini and Mai Tai. Very friendly and accommodating service. Recommend!
