I have had 2 very different experiences at this restaurant. Â The first was when I took just my girlfriend for her birthday dinner and thought everything was excellent and the second was when the two of us took my parents. Â I'm having a hard time believing it was solely due to this, but the only difference between the 2 times was that the second time I ordered one of their few non-fish entrees.
See, I'm not a huge fan of fish. Â I don't necessarily dislike fish, I would just generally rather eat any other type of meat. Â Roy's menu makes it particularly clear that fish is their expertise and the coconut crusted Mahi Mahi I ordered on my first visit was amazing, far surpassing my expectations and overcoming my innate dislike. Â My girlfriend's Tuna and all the fish entrees we ordered on the second trip were of equal good, but I personally decided to try the short rib on that second trip and that was a huge mistake. Â I order short rib pretty much any time I see it on a menu (seriously, it's a habit I'm trying to kick) and this was easily the worst I'd ever had. Â Still the desserts were good and as always they have a good selection of interesting cocktails. Â Just make sure you order fish.
This restaurant chain happens to be one of the few my husband and I dine at. The food just doesn't seem like your typical chain food. Why? Because it isn't!
Lobster pot stickers, a Kobe beef roll, edamame with a kick, tender ribs, melt in your mouth butterfish, and molten chocolate cake with raspberry sauce... Is that enough to interest you?
