One of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore to have a special dinner with family. We started with the signature Mai Tai, one of the best I’ve had. The Canoe for Two appetizer featured Szechuan ribs, spicy tuna roll, lobster potstickers and crispy chicken spring rolls. The lobster potstickers were so delicious my 5 year old son begged to have an order as his entree he’s an evolving foodie. The lobster bisque was superb. My husband and I shared the butter seared scallops which they divided for us - the creamy coconut black rice served on the side was delicious as well. Our older son had the Classic Four, which is a nice sample of four popular entrees when you cannot decide: hibachi grilled salmon, butter fish, ahi and coconut crusted Mahi Mahi. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with the pineapple upside down cake. Service, as always, was impeccable.
Very attentive service, excellent food, and a great atmosphere. Had the lobster bisque and the swordfish topped with crab. We were so full that table of 4 couldn't even finish the key lime tart that we got to share. Everything was well-cooked, deliciously seasoned, and well plated. The coffee was smooth and robust.
Had dinner at Roy's with another couple. Nice looking place. The main room is quite noisy. Fortunately, we were seated in the back room which is less noisy. Roy's is billed as a fusion between European and Hawaiian cuisines. I expected this place to offer food that was amazingly delicious. We were seated promptly, and the service was excellent. We split two appetizers. The calimari had a coating of crushed peanuts in a piquant sauce. It was excellent. The other appetizer had raw tuna. I avoid raw fish. I was told that it was delicious. We split two entrees. The New York strip steak was very good and was cooked medium rare as ordered. It was very good, but not great. The other entrée, the Mahi Mahi, was thought to be excellent according to the women. I was not impressed. Getting the car back from the valet took a bit longer than I thought it would. We tried to get our server to give our ticket to the valet before presenting our bill, but, apparently, that's not the way they do things at Roy's.
Food is just okay — for the price, I expected it to be better. I got the Butter Seared Georges Bank Sea Scallops, which was somewhat bland. My boyfriend got the Classic Four — I tried some of it and only liked one of the four I think the butterfish. We shared the lime tart for dessert, which was also nothing special. Atmosphere was good, although I expected it to be a bit more upscale for the price — there were plenty of people in jeans and t-shirt for Saturday night dinner. Servers were nice. I went for my anniversary with my boyfriend and they had put a happy anniversary card with flowers on the table when we arrived, which was sweet.
I have never ever tasted such wonderful food until I came here! Everything was magnificent, staff was amazing, even the drinks was out of this world! I went for Mothersday and their was a specific menu but I would go here everyday if I could. A little expensive but it's well worth it and more!
Took my mom for her 55th birthday before a show at the Hippodrome. Conveniently located in Harbor East. We valet parked. Note doesn't start till 5pm. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and made her special night perfect. And the food and drinks were worth the price.
My waiter was very helpful and attentive. The food was amazing! I was seated in under a minute. My first course was lobster potstickers that were amazing my date ordered the szeuchuan ribs which he loved. Second course i ordered the wedge salad my partner got the miso soup. Main course i ordered the ny strip steak with lobster mac n cheese while my partner ordered the surf and turf and surf. Oh and the rye me a river drink was A-mazingg.
Superb service. Food came out hot and presentation was nice but noodles were cooked 2 long. As for the mojitos....they were terrible. Not many choices for desserts either.
Food was not worth the price. Did not taste much different than something you would get at a lesser star resturant. Many of the items were heavily salted. The most memorable item was the short rib from the "canoe for two." The hoisen sause was perfect and they were very tender. The jumbo tiger prawns were over cooked. The sauce was reminiscent of kikkoman teriyaki sauce and over powered the dish. It made it taste cheap and salty. There were also way more edamame and bell peppers than udon. The roasted chicken was cooked well but flavorless. The "gravy" was good but there was not enough to cover all of the under seasoned meat. The worse part of the evening was the other patrons. There was a large party that was loud and disruptive. A few members of the party loudly made noises that mimicked them vomiting. They did this over and over throughout our meal. Nothing was said to them by management. I do not recommend this place.
Love love love their cuisine. Definitely my first time trying Hawaiian delicacy! Would recommend just that i believe they shut this location at downtown Baltimore down.
