Went to this restaurant because of the great reviews on this site. Without a question - I was misled! Whilst the front staff were pleasant enough, the waiter barely interacted with us. He took our order and didn't show up again until we had completed our main dishes. The ribs starter was below average -- they highly recommend it but it tasted like McRib sauce from McDonalds on the ribs. Almost all high end restaurants serve a great Chilean Sea Bass dish which I mistakenly ordered at Royale. It was very bland and the fish was overcooked (which is hard to do with Chilean Sea Bass!). I have often paid $100/head at top restaurants in LA, NY and elsewhere. Royale falls into this price category but the complete meal is worth $15/head at best. I am high suspicious of the other Royale reviews on this website. Avoid at all costs.\r

Cons: Badly trained staff, thus poor management, VERY average food (which is fine if they charged $10 to $15/meal), Poor customer service, At the end of the day -- not worth the price.
