I usually don't take the time to write a review but after dropping $150 on dinner for two for tiny portions of mediocre (at best) food, I felt compelled.
My wife and I had been looking forward to visiting Roy's for several months after seeing many advertisements inside in-flight magazines touting it as one of the best places to eat in Big D.
We shared the sashimi sampler. Not the best start as it was not served at the right temperature.
I should have been worried at the point when the waiter asked if he could get desert going "because it takes 18 minutes to prepare" yet our entrees hadn't even come out!
My wife ordered the petite filet (and I do mean petite!) & lobster tail (which might have been a 2-3 oz tail at best). Both were grilled & looked like I could have done a better job in my back yard. Absolutely nothing to give it a "Hawaiian twist."
I ordered the shellfish sampler. One half of a tiny lobster tail (literally two bites worth of meat), two small scallops and two small stuffed shrimp with crabmeat that had a funky metallic taste. Again, nothing that would suggest a "Hawaiian twist."
All this plus two glasses of wine and two beers for $150 after tip. Oh, complimentary edimame though. Woo hoo.
The seating was hardly private as we were seated in a booth with the table next to us about two feet away. The waiter was decent - about the only positive thing I have to say about this experience.
Needless to say, we'll not be back.
