    We used to go to Roy’s in Maui every year on our arrival night, and last year when we went to Honolulu for the first time, we tried Roy’s in Waikiki. It was great! Last night, we went back ( on our arrival night) and had an excellent meal. Our server Joshua was exceptional. We enjoyed talking to him, and he helped us decide on the delicious tiger prawns with crab ravioli. It went beautifully with an Aperture Sauvignon Blanc. He also brought out a lovely hamachi starter for us. We always love the excellent canoe sampler for two as a starter, so we also had that. The chocolate soufflé was amazing for dessert! Several other team members stopped by, including a woman who gave us great ideas for some things to do in Honolulu that not all tourists would know about. It was a perfect way to start our visit—great food, wine, and Hawaiian hospitality. Mahalo, Roy’s!

    10/10. Probably the best meal we have had here. Drinks were amazing, apps and entree delicious. Ambience was cute and it was open and airy, not too loud, perfect night. (Sangria, grapefruit martini both great and refreshing), scallop sliders omg, crab and avocado salad delicious, mahi tacos were perfect, Caesar salad too good)… we booked again for tomorrow because we know the meal will be perfect.
