Terrific experience in every way but one. Glass of Roy's Pinot was warm. Husband didn't say til after we left so there was no opportunity for correction. Would return enthusiastically and send friends without hesitation. Heavenly butterfish, delightful staff.

Had dinner celebrating our anniversary. Kristi and Sasha was a great team serving our table. Sasha was very attentive in making sure our dishes were cleared at the appropriate time and keeping our water glass filled. Kristi was an excellent server. She provided good suggestions based on our questions as to various dishes. She was very pleasant and made sure to check with us all throughout the diner service but was not intrusive. Very friendly yet professional . So in a long winded way, the two of them made our anniversary dinner to be spectacular evening Also would like to give a shout out to the hostess (forgot her name) who was very nice in handling our reservation,seating. And acknowledging our anniversary. As we were leaving the restaurant, she wished us a happy anniversary again. Very thoughtful and nice. This gesture showed that she pays attention to details. Kudos to the management for having great persons. PS … almost forgot to say the food was excellent… started with the Krispy Zucchini, with the main course being the Kauai prawns with lump Crab ravioli and etc plus Roy’s classic trio did not disappoint. Finished off with Roy’s chocolate soufflé (really a molten lava cake) and pineapple upside down cake … both were awesome. Also they brought out a complimentary cake slice representing our anniversary. Thank you Roy’s for a great evening. Robert and Cecilia

On this specific date that was for a table of 3, celebrating Mothers Day/Birthday. I was extremely pleased with everything from 1st entering with hostess Lynette, to our waiter Mason who was also awesome. The staff & food was well worth it from being served the appetizer, main course, water glasses being refilled, & also till dessert. This experience was well worth what was paid for & I would definitely go for any future celebration dinner. Thank you Roy’s Waikiki staff members.

this location of Roy's was somewhat disappointing. the staff were great. the ambience was very energetic likely due to it being mother's day. the cocktails were great but overpriced. i received a salad with no dressing and a very meager portion of fish around it. my main course consisted of exotic fish and seafood but everything was mushy like the underlying risotto. i was not able to eat most of it. i then received 2 desserts..1 for my birthday (which i didn't know was coming but they knew) and a paid dessert that again was so rich and sweet that i could not eat it. A $230 bill with very little I could actually eat.

Excellent meal overall. The only thing that surpassed the quality of the food was the quality of service. I’ve worked in fine dining for 15 years and they are a finally tuned machine at Roy’s. The bussers were quick and attentive, and the food runners open handed service and descriptions of the plates was excellent. Our server (I wish I remember her name, short with dark hair) was outstanding. Her recommendations and descriptions of the menu as well as service style was a real treat for us on our honeymoon. Thank you for an amazing experience

Seafood choices are delicious and well-prepared, the food is overall outstanding and the service efficient and friendly, BUT on the night we dined it was so noisy that we had trouble having a conversation. It was mostly due to a very rambunctious table seated nearby, but it was not the choice for a a quiet, romantic dinner as I had remembered having there years ago. Will go back for the food, but with different expectations for the ambiance.

Of the four dishes we ordered, one was very good. It was the catch of the day (swordfish) with macadamia nut crust. The signature dish, butterfish was drowned in sauce, and was so-so. The crab cakes were unacceptable, and we had to send back. They tasted very fishy! The Brussel sprouts were unremarkable.

Food is fantastic! Loved that spicy edamame was served right away. Got ribs as a starter which were very tasty and fall off the bone. Misoyaki butterfish was also tasty and melt in your mouth. Chocolate soufflé was good but could’ve used more raspberry coulis. Service was prompt with lots of servers, but our main server was clearly going through the routine and was nothing special. We sat outside next to the road which was loud at times.
