Unfortunately, I'm going to have to agree with the others who gave this place a miss. It was my number one most looked-forward to restaurant of this trip, based on other reviews, and it was a complete disappointment. The service WAS terrible. Also, our waiter lied to us at the end of the night, and told us that if we... More

We grabbed lunch off the bar menu (restaurant wasn't open for lunch) while ducking out of the rain. Bartender was super nice and accomodating. We stayed across the street at The Outrigger Reef so it was convenient for us. The menu was eclectic - which I like - not typical bar menu. The NBA Playoffs were on so my husband... More

After reading rave reviews and recommended by friends we had to try this restaurant. It's ok. Nothing to crow about. We had the appetizer plate, lobster appetizer with cheese (minuscule pics for I think $30, beef short ribs, and I forgot 2 more main dishes. Creme brûlée was runny inside. Once is enough.

After going to Roy's for afternoon drinks and deciding to book a table the same night, I was dismayed to read recent reviews about Roy's. I was in the verge of cancelling out reservation because of the reviews! However, I was very glad I didn't. The waiter, Paul, was attentive and helpful. The food was superb, the chocolate soufflé thick... More

During my recent stay at Waikiki my family and friends sampled this restaurant. The food was very good (a little slow in coming out but still very good). I would have given the overall experience as excellent if it wasn't for the rude waiter that served us. Being from Australia I asked the waiter about the tipping. My understanding is... More

Roy's is huge, noisy and full of atmosphere. Amazing seafood menu -with fish cooked 5 different ways. Good value for money. Children's menu available.Staff friendly and helpful - give good advice on food choice. Reservations are essential.

Wow. Thanks TripAdvisors and Yelpers. What a complete disaster this place is. Think one step up from Chili's. But 10x the price. I say one step up only because it looks like it should be one step up. But in reality - I would have preferred a Chili's that night. At least I would have gotten what I paid. Let... More

I have never been a fan of the Roy's in Newport Beach, my hometown, and it had been years since I had been there. However, I heard Roy's in Hawaii was much better, so I decided to give it a try as it was just across from my hotel. And I have to say, the only thing that did not... More
