    Since its renovation, it’s great to have the Royal back and better than ever in the neighborhood! Breakfasts, brunches and dinners are wonderful, and the selection for all times of the day means there’s always something yummy for everyone. And the dog-friendly patio is a huge plus!

    The food was delicious as always. There was a new brunch menu and we had the corn deviled eggs as an appetizer. I ordered the avocado toast as a main dish and it was all delicious. We will definitely be back again. It's great for families as well.

    It was nice, essentially an upscale diner. The outdoor patio looked very nice. We’ll try sitting out there next time. We’ll definitely go back. Good food, drinks, and service. Parking garage just down the block.

    Food was very good. Our server was lacking. We will probably return, but we wish not to be served by that gentleman.

    This would have been an easy 5 stars but service was good but not great. Service was slow with drinks and checking in after food arrived. I’m really nitpicking. Will definitely go back.
