    I’ve eaten at Roy’s across the different locations on the island. Last night’s experience was extraordinary. Our waiter, was a fine gentleman, that made the entire night very meaningful. My in laws flew into town after moving out of state last August. He made them feel special for this homecoming. The night started off with genuine recommendations for cocktails, appetizers, and entrees. He didn’t settle for telling us what was the best sellers but also his personal favorites which we ended up getting and it did not disappoint. Our waiter engaged in getting to know us as a family and we shared that we were pregnant and had just found out it was a boy. Our waiter congratulated us and shared his personal experiences of being a father on how lovely it is to have children. Mind you, my mother in-law and husband were also crying because it is our first child. Our server returned with a dessert to congratulate us on our blessing. He also made sure to fulfill the requests when I booked the reservation; 1) seating outside away from the stage, 2) celebrating my mother in-law’s birthday in which Roy’s are always mindful and bring out a beautiful dessert that said “Happy birthday (heart) Roy’s.” Our waiter was charming and witty greeting my mother in-law who turned 66 years old, a happy 21st. The rest of the wait staff were exceptional too. The manager checked in on us, our waters were topped off, never empty, our leftovers were boxed for us. It was the evening before Valentines Day and their live music delivered satisfaction in playing a variety of love songs. Please forgive me as I forgot the waiter’s name because of my pregnancy brain but he was a local gentleman with a beard and slicked back hair. Thank you for making not just our dinner special but the celebratory life moments special. We will continue going to Roy’s because of their exceptional food and exceptional customer service. - The Little Ohana

    My Ohana and I had dinner to celebrate a birthday and it was great! Reservation was easy to do and when I needed to change the time, they had no issue doing so. Service was great, everyone worked together to serve the people. Food was delicious and to me the price was greatly reasonable. Food came out at a timely matter and the manager who I did not get his name, was really great! He came out to check on everyone, bussing tables, refreshing water/beverages and making us smile and laugh. He showed us his cool trick with flipping out drink without spilling it! That was cool. Mahalo nui!
